🔗 The 60 Minutes report on CECOT that Bari Weiss censored is now internet contraband | The Verge
Thanks to Weiss’ censorship, it may very well wind up being the most-talked-about CBS News story this year.

And of course - thanks to 🔗 PullTube I now have safely tucked away in my personal collection - you know - just in case.
Take Apple News vs iBooks - they’re both reading apps, so why is it necessary to have two separate apps? Because they’re extremely different reading and writing experiences and it doesn’t make sense to lump them into a one-size-fits-all approach.

For the last 15 years, many companies chased ‘digital transformation.’ But if we’re honest, most of us didn’t transform, we digitised. We took analog processes and made them digital.

Nick was so good at his job that in 5 short years as Deputy he took the LibDems from 57 seats to just 8. After which he lost his position, resigned from party leader and a year later lost his local election. After that the Brits made him a ‘Knight’ in the UK and Zuck made him whatever it was called for Meta.
Imagine how far he could have gone if he was a success.
