New rules and fees from Apple today for the EU. It’s getting ridiculous. This page has the fees and it might as well be a spreadsheet.
Is waiving the CTF for iPad apps new? I don’t rememberer that. But paying Apple for external payments is still there, still a no-go for me.
Governor Tim is Mr Rogers for adults. And you know who should play him on SNL? Tom Hanks.
It's wrong that posts from Timothy Snyder, Joe Trippi and NYT Pitchbot are only available on Twitter. I'd like to help their posts reach a wider audience.
Apparently Trump’s press conference is going to be about Walz’s military service. There’s a detailed story here for background. I’ve never served. I only have gratitude for those who have, whether it was months or years, regardless of politics. We aren’t perfect, but Trump is the worst of us. 🇺🇸

I have great respect for Hillary Clinton and supported her over Sanders in 2016. I also supported Biden because we needed to win in 2020.
But we could have had a campaign team like the one we saw yesterday and today, with some very impressive presenters who've yet to take the stage, we could have had it in 2016. We didn't have to go through the tragedy of Trump.
The Democrats are stage managing perfectly now. I never really thought we'd see this day, but here it is.

When I see a reference to an evil NYT piece, I RT it a simple message: Ignore the NY Times. It's relaxing. You don't have to do something about it, in fact it says the opposite. Do nothing. It works on all social nets, and for any news org that's promoting lies, ignoring relevant facts, against the interest of the US. Find new ways to get informed. And if you can't find them, start one. And we can find each other.
The Bruce Springsteen mention at last night's rally was no accident. Boomers are now of the age where we vote in great numbers. So our feeling like there's something here for us might make the difference in one or more of the swing states.

Last night's Democratic rally was wonderful. I was laughing and sobbing all the way through it. What an emotional release. We needed and deserved this. Beyond hope, we're finally going to fight. I hope President Kamala is really up to it, because we have a pretty substantial cleanup job to do here.
