Instagram is a great tool. But also a s***y one. But it is what it is. It's here, and it's not going away. It can be useful, and it can be harmful, and it exposes us to a lot of things that wouldn't have happened 20 years ago. For better or worse....

Everyone's talking about a crypto government reserve, but the US government has reserves of a lot of things, from gold... to cheese. Commonly referred to as 'government cheese', the US government 'hodls' 1.4 billion pounds of cheese, stored in a cav...

There's an expression I like that goes, "stop throwing good money after bad". Like so many other expressions, it's grammatically weird, and you wouldn't say out of the context of the expression, but I love it. To 'stop throwing/not throw good money...

I don't know if you noticed, but FB has transitioned from a social media app, to an events/help/support app. No one posts on FB anymore, no one cares (figures of speech, obviously I don't mean literally 'no one') but, interestingly, it's a really go...

I'm obsessed with Reacher. I've read every novel, most more than once, some of them more than 10 times or 20 times. There are several reasons why. Obviously I like the writing style but also I like how certain things are described. I definitely re...

I'm having a bad day today. I wish I could tell you, "no reason, I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed". But that wouldn't be true. I know the reason(s). There are probably four reasons. In no particular order. One, yesterday I had a conver...
