Quick question from the uninitiated …
What would cause a single random web page to use over 4GB of RAM?
I closed it - but wondering malicious? badly designed?
Facebook is about to get a lot better or a lot worse.

Good Grief - Can Writers(*) At Least Question What They Are Being Told
How Remote-First Crypto Players Could End the Company HQ
We will see.
BUT
The real news buried inside the post is how many of these scams companies are based in Malta, The Caymans, The Bahamas … very … what’s the word … ‘levelling’?
As for crap like this …
““Fellow crypto exchange Kraken followed suit in doing away with its HQ in April, and while CEO Jesse Powell said the closure was specifically a response to incidents of crime impacting its employees on the way into the San Francisco office, he added Kraken has “no plans to establish a new, formal global HQ.”
My bold - BUT - if that really is the reason - why not set up an office in a different city - in Texas or Florida say

There Are Three Sides To Every Coin
As long as Spotify continues to generate headlines like Joe Rogan: We Have a ‘Mental Health Problem Disguised as a Gun Problem
I am good with Netflix generating headlines like Netflix CEO defends Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais

When did we start caring about ‘supporting evidence’?
Halcyon days. Don’t they look cute?

Is Gallagher’s lastest post - written in his usual ‘dulcet’ tone - much ado about nothing?
You have to read it to understand why I am so pleased with myself.
Boris Johnson accused of changing ministerial code to ‘save his skin’
Because of course, he can - and - of course, he does.
I like ‘accused of … to save his skin’ - I mean what would the alternative reasoning be?

Context
I have just learned that I have been using 😭 and 😂 interchangeably … but the 😭 is really mean to be ‘sad’ and I have been using it as for example ‘10*😂’ … gawd.
What’s a boy to do?
🎶 A ‘Read (actually - ‘Listen to’) it Later app for Music
I am a big music person but not sure I need this.
