There is something about a typewriter. The overly complex machine that made you think hard before putting words to paper. theguardian.com/global-develop…
Tom Hanks did a cool app for your iPhone that made keystrokes sound like a typewriter.
I don't know why they do this....but it's good that they do this. The Boston Typewriter Orchestra:
Monospaced Courier was created in 1955 and is still used for movie scripts (12 point) and oddly enough...computer coding. That... Dotted Zero is still a great idea to avoid confusion. creativebloq.com/typography/bes…
In 1981 the Xerox Star system introduced WYSIWYG...and the mouse... later "borrowed" by Apple to create the Lisa and the Mac. I worked on both of those launches. It wasn't until later that professional typesetting and digital files replaced typewriters. dcn.org/go/dwnelson/Xe…

“The politicization of the department and the attacks on the rule of law are among the most dangerous assaults on our democracy carried out by the former president.” - Adam Schiff

Didn't Schiff refer Erik Prince for prosecution for perjury? nytimes.com/2021/06/10/us/…
Yep...somehow Prince flew to meet a Russian in the Seychelles and had no problem lying about it.

"The committee has identified at least six categories of materially false statements that Mr. Prince made during his testimony" intelligence.house.gov/news/documents…
So apparently someone in the White House called the FBI in DC to shut down the Prince ITAR investigation just before Christmas. This is in addition to Barr slow rolling and freezing the perjury investigation. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

Anyone notice a pattern? Maganuts now using "fake news" and "shadow banners" as their sources as absolute proof?
The fundamental rear view mirror question will be; Can an incompetent venal divisive administration also function as an ethical competent unified organization....or did the media make it all up? Let me ask the few hundred thousand dead Americans. vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/h…
"A study in India" and Disney news on a report are enough for Kayleigh. At 6:30 p.m police violently clear mercenary park, Beat downs finish at 7pm. Trump, trumplets and the old man posse do their photo op with bible at 7:06 p.m. Nothing to see here.

Hmmmm didn't the US taxpayer bail out Goldman Sachs? $10B from the United States Department of the Treasury as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, to be exact. forbes.com/sites/niallmcc…
Couldn't the US just invade all the nations who don't charge tax and disperse the hidden funds so we can all have free vacations? Bermuda shoud be a US state anyway. #PirateBootyBeachParty howmuch.net/articles/world…

Not just the source code..an entire system that was demo'd coincidently around the time the secret Seychelles meeting took place. According to an engineer, Wickr was also pitched to MBz etc as his personal palace comms system. justsecurity.org/wp-content/upl…
Wickr.....and their story...and investors are.... interesting.
