“5 companies control the bulk of the cloud data centers that now drive the global economy. These are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and the artists formerly known as Facebook. No, I’m not going to create some stupid acronym.
Then allow me … ‘A’ ‘MAGA’ collective?
The man who could rig the 2024 election.
Judd Legum on the case.

Who owns Einstein? The battle for the world’s most famous face

I assume the name emerges from the quote, but for thirty bucks not sure what it adds to the existing note/outliner world.
