Stop Doom-Scrolling and Look at These Photos from Seattle’s Largest Cat Convention

Mute Steve Kornacki, unclench your jaw, and scroll through these sweet scenes from Sea-Meow. by Megan Seling

Photos by Madison Kirkman

Sea-Meow, which bills itself as Washington’s largest cat convention, invaded Seattle Center’s Exhibition Hall over the weekend and brought with it appearances from the Two Crazy Cat Ladies, Moshow the Cat Rapper, and Christopher Watson aka the Catluminati, as well as a cat costume contest, a cat-calling contest, cat bingo, and dozens of vendors slinging everything from cat beds to catnip to cat coffee. (That is, cat-themed coffee that benefits cat rescues and not, like, coffee for cats.)

But most importantly, there were cats. So many cats. Old cats, young cats, kitten cats. Cats available for adoption, cats available for snuggles, and cats being pushed, carried, and cradled in backpacks and strollers and those bags with little clear bubble cutouts that make them look like grumpy-faced astronauts. 

Election results won’t be in for several hours, and even then, it may take days to know who won. So close Twitter (what are you still doing on that hell site anyway???), mute Steve Kornacki, unclench your jaw, and scroll through these sweet scenes from Sea-Meow.

Scenes from Election Night in Seattle

Last night, The Stranger's reporters spread across the city, watching the results roll in with local politicians. And everywhere we went, Emerald City Dispatch went, too. by Hannah Murphy Winter

Photos by Emerald City Dispatch

Last night, The Stranger's reporters spread across the city, watching the results roll in with local politicians. And everywhere we went, Emerald City Dispatch went, too. The photographer collective joined the Democrats' watch party at the Convention Center, the Washington Bus' Party at the Ballot Box on Capitol Hill, the victory party for Shaun Scott and Alexis Mercedes Rinck at Saint John's, and, eventually, Linda's Tavern, where all of Seattle's politicos often land at the end of a long, hard, emotional election night. 

The night started with high hopes, strong drinks, and good music. By the end of the evening, after many anxious hours and panic-inducing updates from MSNBC, the inevitable began to sink in. Still, people found community in each other. These four photographers captured it all.

Hello AppleViz.

This is Ida Grace and I am here today with a podcast on the baby adopter dress up app.

I want to go through a couple of quick disclaimers before I start.

First of all, I want to say that I did a podcast for this app years ago.

However, it was called Milky Baby at the time and now it is baby adopter dress up and my podcast for that is no longer available on AppleViz at least as far as I've been able to tell.

417 PM.

Ah, I wanted to tell you a disclaimer about the voice I'm using too, but the app has gone through a couple of changes anyway, so I was given the green light to go ahead and make a new podcast.

And the second disclaimer is involving the voice I am using.

I am using American Siri voice 5 because it is pride season and if you all were able to read the article that Apple put out, this voice was recorded by somebody in the LGBT community.

So I thought with pride month approaching fast, I would keep this voice on through pride season.

However, as you'll notice as I demonstrate this app, it does have some delays.

There is a little bit of delay between voiceover speech and voiceover sound.

So you will notice that comma 418 PM and it is 418 PM.

I am on the clock widget right now.

So the first thing I want to let you know is when you first open the baby adopter dress up app, it's going to ask you if you want the app to send you notifications.

I always turn that on, but all they do is notify you every 24 hours if you forget to feed the baby.

So if you don't want the notifications turned on, you don't have to do it.

Just know that if you're using this on an iPad like I am, the baby will cry and you won't get a vibration.

You'll just get because iPads don't have haptics.

So you're just going to get the baby crying if you forget to feed the baby in 24 hours.

I'm also using iPadOS 16 because the Siri voices do not auto delete for voiceover as they do in iOS 17.

They seem to be…

From Friendly to Professional: The Power of iOS Writing Tools

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to use Writing Tools in iOS 18.1. Writing Tools, released as part of the first set of Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1 is an impressive feature that allows users to rewrite text in different tones, such as friendly, professional, and concise, with an added proofread option.

To use this feature, open the text you want to edit and highlight it. Within the Edit section of your Rotor, you'll find the Writing Tools option. Different tone options will appear for you to choose from. Select the desired tone, and iOS will automatically adjust the text accordingly. If you opt for the proofread option, it will check for grammatical and stylistic errors, providing suggestions for improvement. This feature makes it easier to tailor your writing for different contexts and ensure it's polished and effective.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.

I'm going to be talking to you about an Apple Intelligent feature called the writing tools.

Now this is one of my most favorite feature of the Apple Intelligent that Apple has to offer.

Now in order to be able to use the Apple Intelligent, you must need the following iPhone criteria, which is iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or newer devices.

If you have those devices, then you will earn luck.

The first thing we need to do is make sure that Apple Intelligent is turned on.

Simple enough to turn it on, you'll have to head over to your settings.

So let's head over to settings, and let's do one finger double tap and open this.

And now what we're looking for, we're looking for Apple Intelligent in Siri, so swipe to the right until you find that button.

One finger double tap, open that.

Now you may have heard the word beta.

Well, at this time of the podcast that's being recorded, it is in beta.

So Apple Intelligent is in beta at this moment.

Now if you don't hear the beta, don't worry.

That might mean that the beta is no longer in beta.

So to make sure we are in the same place in this right area, let's go to the very top left hand corner where you have the back button.

To get to there, you can either tap at the top left or use a forefinger tap on the top half of your device until you hear the back button.

Now if you swipe to the right, that's where you heard the beta.

Now in your case, if you don't hear the beta, have no worries, let's keep going to the right.

Now we're into the Apple Intelligent section.

Now if you go to the right here, a personal intelligence system integrated deeply into your iPhone apps and Siri, learn more link, use the rotor to access links.

You can do that if you wish.

If you want to find more information about the Apple Intelligent and all the features that has to offer, double tap that and I'll take you to the web page at Apple to talk to you about more about Apple Intelligent.

But what we're looking for is the option to turn the Apple Intelligent on and that should be the next item up.

If you go to the…
