As a computer scientist and software developer for a FinTech that is owned by a massive equity firm, this opinion is tough to listen to. And i totally agree with it. open.substack.com/pub/ez/p/silic…



can someone explain for me why Trump couldn’t or wouldn’t pay $200K bail outright, by himself, without using a bail bondsman‽ #SistersInLaw


I sometimes and not here once a month. If I disappear, I was purged by Egon…

ICYMI: Twitter is cracking down on 'inactive accounts', starting right now. Accounts are already being taken down for inactivity. What I had ASSUMED though, that it'd be counts that were maybe 3 years inactive, 5 years, 10 years maybe. NO, IT'S 30 DAYS! Gone for a month? BANNED
