BREAKING: Microsoft could drop the requirement for a Microsoft account to use Windows 11.
This move is being explored internally as part of the company’s efforts to win back Windows 11 users.
A future Windows 11 update will also make the OOBE (out-of-box-experience) UX "quieter and more streamlined," with fewer pages and reboots, so getting started is simpler.
Microsoft has committed to faster OS performance, a reduced memory footprint, a faster File Explorer, fewer web-based UI elements in the OS, and even the ability to pause updates for as long as you want.
Microsoft is also scaling back Copilot in Windows 11, and it will only add AI to places and apps where it adds real value.

"Three men, two towers, one moment when the world stopped holding its breath. In 1988, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Mikhail Gorbachev stood together in Lower Manhattan with the Twin Towers rising behind them—a photograph that captured the end of one era and the uncertain beginning of another."
The year was 1988. The Cold War, which had divided the world for four decades, was finally thawing. Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader who had introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), was in New York to address the United Nations General Assembly. On December 7, he delivered a landmark speech announcing unilateral cuts to Soviet military forces, a move that sent a clear signal: the Soviet Union was ready to end the arms race. That same day, he met with President Ronald Reagan and President-elect George H.W. Bush at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. The photo of the three men, with the World Trade Center towers visible in the background, became an enduring symbol of a world on the verge of transformation.
Behind the smiles and handshakes, the meeting was loaded with history. Reagan, who had once called the Soviet Union the "evil empire," was now in his final weeks as president, having built a personal rapport with Gorbachev through a series of summits. Bush, still not yet inaugurated, was being ushered into a new world order where the Cold War's certainties were crumbling. The Twin Towers themselves—the tallest buildings in the world at the time—stood as monuments to American economic might and global ambition. In 1988, no one could foresee that 13 years later, the skyline they framed would be torn apart. But the photograph, with its three leaders facing forward, already hinted at a future where old enemies would have to find new ways to coexist.
The meeting was more than a photo op. Gorbachev had just announced a 500,000-troop reduction from Soviet forces and the withdrawal of tanks from Eastern Europe. Reagan praised the move, and Bush, despite his reputation for being less warm to the Soviets, pledged continuity. The moment was a hinge: the Cold War was ending, but what would replace it was still unclear. The leaders weren't just posing—they were navigating a transition that would define the 1990s and beyond. The Twin Towers behind them were a reminder of the economic system that had triumphed, but also of vulnerabilities that remained invisible.
Today, that photograph feels like a time capsule. The Twin Towers are gone. Reagan and Bush have passed away. Gorbachev died in 2022. Yet the image still resonates because it captures something essential: the possibility of adversaries choosing dialogue over destruction. In an era of renewed global tensions, it reminds us that peace is not achieved through strength alone—it requires leaders willing to take risks, to listen, and to see the humanity in those they once called enemies.
"Three men stood at the edge of history, with towers behind them that no longer stand, and proved that even the deepest divisions can be bridged—not by pretending they don't exist, but by choosing to face them together."

@JayCostaUSA They’ve lost their goddamn minds! NY is the city that never sleeps!

🚨 TURN OUT THE LIGHTS - New York has introduced a bill in Albany that would FORCE ALL residents to TURN OFF their outdoor lights at 11 PM or face FINES of $250-$500+ EACH TIME!
The "New York State Dark Skies Protection Act" is a bill aimed at "reducing light pollution, conserving energy, protecting wildlife, and preserving views of the night sky."
The law would require property owners of all kinds, (single family homes, multi-family homes, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, etc) to shut OFF their outdoor lights from 11 PM until sunrise.
Leave it up to New York to IGNORE blatant problems like CRIME, BUDGET DEFICITS, and HOMELESSNESS surrounding us, yet FORCE it's LAW-ABIDING residents to comply to their USELESS and DRACONIAN Lighting mandates, OR ELSE!
Keep Fighting 🇺🇸

@WrestleOps What a joke! Mysterio already made the Hall and his son is now a man. He needs to retire. I want Gunther in SummerSlam against Randy Orton! Legend Killer vs Legend Retirer. Loser must Retire from WWE!
English

GUNTHER’s creative direction for WrestleMania 42 was reportedly supposed to be a match against Rey Mysterio.
Mysterio then suffered a rib injury before the Rumble.
As such it is currently unclear if GUNTHER will compete at WrestleMania next month unless Mysterio is cleared.

The data is clear: New York taxpayers are being robbed in broad daylight. Kathy Hochul is responsible.
Her $100B Medicaid program is riddled with fraud and waste. New York spends 80% more per resident than the national average.
That wasted money could go to tax cuts. As Nassau County Executive, Bruce Blakeman cut $150M in taxes and balanced budgets.
When I am Governor, I will end the waste and make New York affordable.
BRUCE BLAKEMAN for Governor.

I was suspended here for months! Months! But I’m back! I’m sure @NYCMayor is NOT happy about it. Unlike my dear friend @realDonaldTrump I DON’T think he’s a “nice guy!”

Most red states don’t have affordability problems until they turn blue. See Nevada Arizona Colorado and New Mexico as Examples

🚨 BREAKING: Marist Poll shows 1 in 3 New Yorkers plan to FLEE the state in the next 5 years—up again! 86% say NY is unaffordable for average families. Top reasons? Sky-high cost of living (40%), crashing quality of life (21%), crushing taxes (15%). Democrat rule = disaster. Hochul's "success" is people voting with their feet! We need real change x.com/nypost/status/…

Alvin Bragg and Zohran Mamdani are New York City's Axis of Anarchy - and things are going to get much worse before they get better.
And they only get better if we FIRE KATHY HOCHUL and elect @NassauExec Bruce Blakeman to fight back against these radicals.

@Cultaholic That all he’s made with WWE in the last 2 years and he gets a board seat with those few shares? No wonder he walked away from the whole John Cena heel thing. The Rock really wanted money not Cena’s soul.
English

The Rock received a combined $21.7 million in TKO shares in 2024 and 2025 following his return to WWE and appointment to the TKO Board of Directors.
This is broken down as $17.7 million in 2024 and $4 million in 2025.
Dwayne Johnson also received royalties of $1.8 million across the two years, and WWE covered his travel expenses, which totalled $2.6 million in 2024 and $600,000 in 2025.
