Anyone tried to cancel their @Beer52HQ subscription and found that you can't do it online, their phone line never gets answered, and DMs go into a vacuum? Being trapped in a subscription has left a more bitter taste than any of their beers did.

Yo @Mural! Is something up with the #mural .pdf export functionality? Been trying for two days, and still waiting for the emails that never land.

With so many horrible things going on in the world, it’s great to watch something wonderful.

Anyone know what this vitriolic vehicle of hate @EpochTimes that’s just landed in my mailbox? Awful, ugly #propaganda trading on #COVID19 fear.

🇷🇺 Russia’s test of RuNet foreshadows more censorship, but also a more #multipolar global landscape. Different #technology regulation philosophies means different #laws, #economics, #culture. All of which will fuel the competition for the world’s #data. wired.com/story/russia-i…

Did anyone record the opening 10, 9, 8...countdown to the #GoogleIO2019 opening keynote? I arrived late and would love to watch it again. It looked great, even on my phone, even from the badge pickup area. #io19

#io19 principle 2: “speak up if you see something that is not excellent” well, changing the shuttle schedules overnight was a super shitty move by #google. A $75 lyft ride to arrive late was far from excellent. #googleIO2019

If we are to ignite imaginations and persuade people of the need to change, we need harness science fiction just as much as science fact. link.medium.com/nJNRvxvktU #story #storytelling #strategy #innovation
