ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Recently, I thought, "Why am I creating so many Colab notebooks for things that could be Chrome extensions?"
Thus, I've published my first Chrome extension!
chromewebstore.google.com/detail/web-c...

What’s funny to me is the billlionaires can’t buy cool, they can’t buy smooth and they can’t buy likability. They will die rich with money and bankrupt of integrity, character and love. That makes me laugh.

I’ve just created a killer new way to automate blog auditing. Looking to pressure test this by having a few SEOs look at the results output.
Any takers to volunteer a website to test it on? Results will be emailed directly and not shared publicly nor stored online.

I’ve never considered vanilla wafers to be something that could be homemade. Like, of course they can. But never thought to do that.
Definitely add vanilla wafers to the list of things that are roughly 1 billion times better homemade. Holy crap. It's like vanilla made love to butter, and this was the baby.

Would anyone use this tool if I created the UI on my site? What it does is identifies which third party scripts are deployed by GTM.
Origin story here is I was conducting a site speed audit but didn't have access to GTM to verify which scripts were deployed through there.
