Fun fact: I drew this week’s free Futurama #WallarooApp wallpaper in #LineaSketch on the iPad. So I’m doubling up on the old eating’ my own dog food thing. I’ve wanted to turn my own screen into the crashed screen from the opening credits for years and finally did it. Too much fun. 🤓

Anyone else have this problem where the caller ID screen displays a blank gray screen instead of the photo of person calling whose in your contact list? Min’s been having this problem. Hoping the update to 26 fixes it eventually but if anyone knows of a specific fix would appreciate it, thx!

OOOOOOH!!

“Donald Trump claimed election fraud in Michigan as a progressive firebrand won a marquee Senate race that could change the balance of power in Congress.”

This is how it’s going to go from here on out through the midterms and to the next presidential election so we better all buckle up. Any and all results that Trump doesn’t agree with will be declared fraudulent, suspect and eventually illegal.

We’re all in deep trouble. #USPolitics

I’m old enough to remember when republicans wanted to impeach Bill Clinton because he had a 30m conversation with the attorney general of the United States (Loretta Lynch) on a plane with her. She wasn’t his personal lawyer or helped him cover up his involvement with Epstein, they just were in the same place at the same time but at the time it was the end of the political world.

So enterprising #StarTrek fans are now just 3D printing entire play sets based on the soundstage blueprints from their favorite Trek series. I’ve seen highly detailed scale models of TOS bridge, Voyager’s Bridge and ready room, TNG’s Engineering section. It’s all quite wild. Of course they scale and print it to fit action figures. Clearly I was born at the wrong time. 🖖

Well done video about the future of bar codes in retail and how they’ll soon be changing / combining with QR codes. Lots of this seems problematic esp since scammers can easily print their own scammy QR stickers to put on products in stores and send you to fake destinations if you happen to scan manually. 🤔 https://youtu.be/R32j6ZA3byI
