Apple’s AirPods pair perfectly with iPhones, but what do you get if you own a Google Pixel 2? As of now, that’s a no-brainer: Pixel Buds.
Google’s own take on wireless earbuds isn’t just great for music — the headphones sound a little better than AirPods — but they’re also loaded with intelligence thanks to the company’s Assistant and real-time translation features that could change communication as we know it.

Remember Jenna Abrams? The fake Twitter account that fooled pretty much every news outlet in America (including Mashable) on behalf of the Internet Research Agency, a Russian propaganda farm?
Well, despite being banned from Twitter, Jenna Abrams lives in a blog — you guessed it, it’s https://jennabrams.wordpress.com. The latest entry attempts to drag us in a dizzying hellscape of self-doubt, making us question the basic fabric of our reality.
“My fellow Americans! Yes it’s me, your beloved Jenna Abrams, yeah, The Jenna Abrams. Did you miss me? I know. I missed you too,” she said in the first line of her post, ironically (?) entitled “Our Democracy Has Been Hacked”. Read more…
