Imagine a tech CEO you're considering working for or investing in. You reference check him with his former VP of Marketing and they say "unfit to be a CEO, never working with him again". You check with his former VP of Sales who says "should never be a CEO again". Damn, not good but you keep going. His former CTO says "he's borderline incompetent". You check with his former General Counsel who says "no respect for the rule of law, lies all the time, never working with him again". Ok really bad given he hired all these people but you try one more, his former CFO who says "I wouldn't work with him if I were you, he can't be trusted".
That guy you're vetting? That's Trump.
His former Vice President isn't supporting him and thinks he’s unfit for office. Same with his first Attorney General. And his first Defence Secretary. And his second. And his former head of the Joint Chiefs. Same with his second Chief of Staff. And his third. And his second National Security Advisor. And his third.
You'd never work for or invest in a CEO who referenced so badly with so many senior people they chose to hire and worked closely with. Why would you ever vote for someone who does?

This is calling for Uranus tattoos
Happy #NationalTattooDay!
Got any space-themed ink you want to show off? Today’s the day. Leave a picture in the comments.
ALT Troy Lee Hudson, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, points to the tattoo sleeve on his arm. The tattoo represents a map of the solar system at the time of his birth. His ring finger rests on an image of Jupiter on his inner elbow. An image of Saturn sits above it on his bicep. Below his elbow an image of Mars is visible. Each of the planets are encircled with a ring of block-like designs — these are the "Heads-Up Display" (HUD) rings encoding the mass of the bodies shown in 32-bit binary. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Twitter keeps adding more noise to your timeline.
First, it was ads. Lots of ads, from 15% to 20% to 25% once, then back to 20%, but combined with "Like" spamming.
Then came tweets tagged with topics you might be interested in (I'm not).
But it doesn't end here.
If luck or being lucky is a normal distribution, there will be, by definition, people who are consistently & extraordinarily lucky, and people who are consistently & extraordinarily unlucky.
Exec: Users are still too engaged, indicating too good a value we're still providing. Can we devalue Twitter even more, now that Elon Musk wants to buy us?
Team: We could display tweets liked by people users follow, not just their own tweets & retweets.
Exec: kk.
Later…
