The hardest working font in Manhattan
A story of a 150-year-old font you have never heard of – and one you probably saw earlier today.

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.
I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.
Still, more than 7-in-10 U.S. adults have been a victim of an online scam or attack like credit card fraud, ransomware or online shopping scams. www.pewresearch.org/...

Tech cultists believe a future supercomputer could effectively "resurrect" you by analyzing your online footprint & reverse engineering a connecteome that would generate those exact posts. If this were true, good opsec would be to develop one kink you never disclose in public, invalidating the model
