what's happening in the middle east is so dreadful. So hard every day to wrap your head around the dynamics and the consequences for the world... wait is this a great time to buy an apartment in Dubai????

Funny thing is, I bet internally Grammarly thought journalists would LOVE this.

The memory crunch has the Steam Machine on the rocks

less than a month after writing this and at least some of Oracle's RPO has already been scrubbed off

maybe it can be a rotation, like presenting Have I Got News For You

Hey, remember the native-born jobs boom? It's officially over (and was a statistical mirage to begin with) www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I'd love someone to do an investigation into this, though. The portion you get at Just Salad when you order pick-up is ALWAYS smaller than if you order in person, despite it being made on the same line by the same people at the same time!

We’re suing Instant Recovery, a Bronx towing company that has been breaking the law and scamming New Yorkers with illegal junk fees, overcharges, and cash-only demands.   No more taking advantage of New Yorkers stranded on the side of the road.

The VC community though it could do a better version of Wired/the tech press. It was called Future, founded by a16z. It was boring, impenetrable bullshit that nobody read and was soon shut down. www.businessinsider.com/a16z-future-...

One USAID = 1 month of war

Opened this indictment and a perfect movie plot fell out...

Incredible Facebook Marketplace post
