On my Mac, I just use whatever the default static wallpaper is. Or I pick one of theirs. I always have widgets covering my wallpaper and I don't know how to easily see what it is (short of  → Settings → Wallpaper), but I think it's like a forest/hills. On my MacBook it's a lake.

On my phone, I have a Star Trek theme. LCARS (the OS on Next Generation) lock screen, and one of the ships (I think it's Discovery, I never really look that closely at it) warping up toward the top with the trails down between the icons.

I mostly don't care what the wallpaper is because I never look at it, but I'm too proud to just have it black (nothing there). I know that's an option on Windows (no wallpaper, and there's a setting for the desktop colour), but I'm not sure about Mac or iOS.

I almost envy people who have "cool" wallpapers (my wife has a bunch) but I mostly can't be arsed. Like... I wouldn't mind having digital frames with rotating wallpapers or fan art or whatever. But my desktop? It's a workspace and I have work (or "work") covering it all the time.

The Super Bowl (American football championship game) promotes betting. What's the problem? Is gambling legal in the United States outside of Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Native American reservations, or isn't it? They need to make up their mind about that. Either allow it everywhere and post gambling help lines like the casinos do... or don't allow it.

I'm not a fan, personally. I don't gamble. Period. I have no real opinion on whether it should be legal though, where I am, where you are, or in the state of New York.

Agreed. I somehow got through 40+ years of pop culture and didn’t have Citizen Kane or Murder on the Orient Express spoiled for me. One is a very old movie. The other was a new movie based on a book, but it’s been made into movies before, I think. 

I recently saw a meme that referenced the end (the twist, the final shot) of Citizen Kane. Had I not seen it, I wouldn’t have got the joke, but I wouldn’t have known what I missed. 

So yeah, good with spoiler tags/warnings on old media
