long fake email address from compromised account being used for email scams
@microsoft.com Is it really that hard to detect scam emails when the address is something like this?
Please do better.
If you left your late friend’s dice on a table at GenCon 2014 asking people to take and use in his memory, I put this white d4 to use every time our group gets together.

No, Apple News, that’s a *park* ranger.
Forest rangers work for the Department of Agriculture’s National Forest Service, not the Department of the Interior’s National Park Service.
This. They wanted to make an album that The Clash never made. They did it brilliantly.

The main U.S. date convention is illogical and it complicates international business communication.
Why put the smallest unit (day) in the middle?
Most countries use DD/MM/YYYY. Small to large.
Dec 10, 2009 easily gets confused for Nov 12.
2-digit year? Now it could be Sep 10 of 2012. 😒
Pure AI Slop.

I notice a strong correlation between AI-generated voiceover and YouTube comments being turned off.
The problem might not be the comments.
At this point, every app that asks me for a rating by interrupting my use of the app…gets one star.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

@newsweek.com will there be a headline about it if it turns out to be wrong? Otherwise, this really isn’t news is it? It’s just entertainment.

(For some reason they have ad-targeted me with their weirdly-insecure wanna-be militarism.)
