Somebody just referred to capybaras as "guinea bigs" and I don't know what to do with this information.

Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "maps.google.com" to "google.com/maps".

Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers.

Some of you may know I was a political strategist as recently as the last election cycle. The only message that I have for you is that your vote is needed in 2024.

There are some big voices that think because of earlier this week, that the left is assured a win and that is far from the truth.

Please vote, inspire others to vote and do the work to win voters. Nothing bad comes from that approach!

To say "I don't know" is a sign of wisdom, to say "I was wrong" is a sign of maturity. To pretend to know something you don't really know is neither.

“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

I’ve just been informed by my 4yr old that we really need to use less cars and aeroplanes as the world is poorly. She also informs me that eating more vegetables will help.

Perhaps there is #hope

How do you feel about climate denial?

Adtech destroyed the news business. Half the money you spend on advertising is still wasted. And you still don’t know which half. 404media.co/advertisers-dont-w

The auto industry has even more contempt for your privacy than Big Tech, which is saying something. Now an appeals court has ruled that the car makers can intercept and sell your private information, and you can't do a damn thing about it.

Well, one thing: Don't hook up your phone to these sleazy companies' "entertainment" systems.
