Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the reason critic embargoes exist.
Crystal Skull has a 77% critics score today and even the "good" reviews are coming in around B- and 6/10.
None of us wanted to know this more than a month out.

Daily reminder of just how out of control #Clickbait has become. These headlines are everywhere this morning.
According to USGS, humans typically don't perceive under 3.0 magnitude.
The way Richter works, a 3.0 is 16x stronger than the 2.2 #earthquake that "rattled" residents of NY & NJ.

In honor of Anzac Day, thank you to the people of Australia & New Zealand for your nations’ sacrifice. Respect.
The cookies of the same name, so called because they were often sent to WWI soldiers (ANZACs) due to sturdiness and shelf-life, have long been my favorite.

Why, alien cow mutilations, of course!

We spoke to three different Twitter Blue subscribers who explain why the terms “not nominal” and “exploded” are subjective and easily misinterpreted.

The media is 100% complicit in pushing the false narrative about San Francisco by not contextualizing.
San Francisco has one of the lowest murder rates among major U.S. metros.
In cities >200k, SF places 66th — just below Corpus Christi, TX, and two spots above Colorado Springs, CO.

Set aside the fact that swapping out your site's logo for a 'doge' speaks volumes about your opinion of your own brand.
The collective freakout of users who think Twitter and/or their accounts have been hacked because of it would've been foreseen by all but society's least perceptive.

Netflix's new MH370 documentary is shockingly irresponsible, based almost entirely upon conspiracy theory, speculation & conjecture.
But audience manipulation pales in comparison to the disrespect to passengers' loved ones, exploited while in search of what actually happened -- which no one knows

This #password chart is making the rounds again and, as someone who's spent a career building large-scale (500M+ acct) #authentication systems, it is absolutely *wrong*.

It was widely reported this week that Trump has explored televising group executions if re-elected.
Important context: When The Gambia in western Africa put a moratorium on the death penalty in 2018, the United States became the last country in the Western Hemisphere to execute its citizens.

So, basically, they're resorting to digital racketeering.
"That's a nice #Twitter account you have there... it'd be a shame if something bad happened to it. Of course, for $8, you get my protection."
The irony is that authenticator apps are safer than SMS verification anyway. 🔒

Reason 9,742 why #Twitter has become a toxic cesspool.
Lots of discussion rightfully calling out Don Lemon for his indefensibly sexist/ageist comments yesterday.
So, a medical doctor on MSNBC (?!) says gay people like him are "less useful to society" because they don't bear children.
*Not* okay.

Saw this doozy of a headline shared this morning.
It's almost never a good idea to force line breaks in the middle of words for the purpose of text justification.
It can easily create words far worse than this.
