@Khurtizz @shannonmstirone It's a tricky shot for the photographer given the gravitational effects mean nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. You need at least the latest iPhone X to capture.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but your workplace does not exist to serve as an ideal manifestation of your own world view & values. Like, it’s nice if it does, but you’re going to be sorely disappointed & frustrated if you expect it to. Start your own company if that’s a problem.

Just a quick fuck you to all the big agencies out there employing smaller specialist agencies to do technical work to solve YOUR client needs, but then denying them the ability to talk about their work openly. Not being able to do something is OK, pretending you did it isn't.

Remote work. I've spent the best part of the last year working/planning from home. I've got a strong concern about the mental health impact of remote. There are times I know that my resilience is being tested. Humans are social animals but I feel the rush to remote is dangerous.

@ethan_blockson @CocaCola @MrCraigWard Highly intentional. Phonetically, Coca-Cola is pronounced [koʊ kə koʊ lə] with an extra emphasis on the [kə] before the [koʊ lə]. Thus the hyphen is set ever so slightly to the right of the median.

The amount of top tier VC firms that invested in crypto projects and at first opportunity dumped their token allocation on retail to reclaim principal is sickening. They took a giant dump on the very consumers that crypto & web 3 is meant to represent. All should be ashamed.

If Amazon is able to make a copycat of your product and successfully sell it as an alternative to your customer base, then your product and brand are not up to snuff. No one is going to buy knock off Nikes. Brand is the defensible moat.

@HirokoTabuchi Living in Japan as someone of German heritage, found it super interesting the varying paths that JPN & GER took post-war & state atrocities. GER school history books embraced ugly truth. JPN hid their dark acts, not wanting to impugn the country's image with their youth.

As a Brit living in the US, I can confirm: Ambulance call out $3,000, having a baby $40,000, stitches in child's face after accident $17,000, monthly cost of family health insurance $2,500. In the US, if you're poor and get sick, you're bankrupt & as good as dead. Vote wisely.
