And, you might not notice... THIS DISTURBING FACT.

The clock hands. There's only 11. Not 12.

I recreated a vector file and had to mark 32.72° between the hands 😭

This TSA graphic is seen by >1M people per day and costs $170K per machine. That's government contracts👏

so here's a story

I volunteer helping seniors with their technology issues. One of my regulars came in with a Lenovo laptop. It still had a retail sticker; I imagine she bought it used, for over $500

'I bought this so recently, how is it already so slow,' she asked me

I used to love Evernote, but now that they are forcing advertising into my paid product and not giving any way to turn it off (yes, I have asked), my love is fading. If this goes on for much longer, I'll start to look elsewhere...

This kind of ad is now regularly popping up.

Crazy story: My 9yo trans child was so proud and confident that they ended up on the cover of National Geographic Magazine (see my cover pic). It was the 'Gender Revolution'! But within days, we were doxxed on KiwiFarms.

What I’m NOT going to do is let CVS call my friend who was denied her Rx bc she couldn’t prove it wasn’t for an abortion (at age 55). What I AM going to do is put them in touch with her very incensed gynecologist whose order they disobeyed when putting politics over patients.

Dan Price was called 'the one moral CEO in America.' He spoke about corporate greed and raising the pay of employees.

The attention enabled a pattern of abuse in his personal life and hostile behavior at work, a New York Times investigation found. nyti.ms/3SYVaCW

As the Twitter/Elon Musk trial progresses, let’s take a look at how to estimate the % of bots on Twitter with proper statistics! Is Twitter doing it right? Are they lying? (Note: I don’t have any special insight, so we’re going to operate on what’s been reported)
