"We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone'

Announced a short time ago, the Callback 8020 is seen as a means of combating the addictive lure of the modern-day smartphone. While it supports Android apps via its SailfishOS, it disables features like web browsing and social media by default.

However, despite the noble quest for a 'digital detox', the phone met with a somewhat frosty reception online (no pun intended), with many comparing it to an elderly relative's flip phone. In our poll, 70 percent of you said you wouldn't be buying one.

Tucker Carlson says he'll no longer support the Republican Party

Carlson supported Trump in 2024. After the war began, he apologized for supporting the then-presidential candidate and “misleading people," saying it wasn't intentional.

But of course...

“Not gonna support the Democratic Party,” Carlson was quick to add, speaking late last week on the show “Can't Be Censored.” “I don't know what I'm going to do.”

(When it comes to the "Tuckers" of the world, no matter how much they might hate the GOP, they still hate the Democrats just as much, if not more.)
