Virtual Desktops on Windows aren't used enough. Mac has the "maximize to Virtual Desktop" button so I did a similar thing for Windows. Please go test it and file issues.
SHIFT-CLICK on the Maximize button will maximize a window to a new Virtual Desktop. Also a hotkey.

Haha had a scam call from 09 3024800 claiming to be the fraud team at my bank. I declined to provide any verifying data and called the 0800 instead.
Beware the con artists. This one had a New Zild accent!
I shall discuss it on my weekly telco/bank anti-fraud call tomorrow. 😇

Nothing winds me up more than Luxon and assorted other suits saying we need to be wealthier before we can afford doctors, nurses, water we can swim in etc. Meanwhile wealthier kiwi households have stacked up huge piles of savings (cash, shares, equity etc). The economy works for the few. [🧵 1/n]

This contextualizes the wailing of mediocre men when a new generation of authors emerged and said this shit was not okay, ever, and we will hold you accountable for it.
There is a woman who never wrote, because she felt unwelcome, and I know she had something important to say. That makes me sad.

"Epstein class" has the stickiness to it to become an amazing slogan for democrats to use that will land solidly with people. It's perfect and whoever wrote it should be very proud.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

“OUR city isn’t [insert name of a much more livable & successful city here].”
Trust me, we know that. It’s abundantly obvious that you’re not that city.
That city made, and continues to make, much better choices with fewer excuses.
The real question is, do you want YOUR city to be better or not?

The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?
Jeff Bezos' statement, his first since last week's layoffs: "The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity. Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus."
