Amazing with Toy Story 5 tech is the villain. Tech Steve Jobs invented at Apple. The company that bought Pixar, the studio that revolutionized animation with the original Toy Story (when I started in journalism.) And made Jobs a billionaire. Full circle!

Americans love their Canadian brothers and sisters. They are the greatest allies, friends, and neighbors any country could have. So proud of Buffalo Sabres fans. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Sometimes the greatest ideas can be found in the oddest places.

This is Bette Nesmith.

At 17 she married, had a baby and her husband went to war. When he returned they got a divorce and she was left to bring up her son alone.

Bette struggled to make ends meet. She got a job at Texas Bank and Trust on $300 per month. She wasn’t a great typist but she ended up becoming an executive secretary.

Yet Bette struggled with mistakes she made on the new IBM electric typewriters.

Instead of retyping the entire document she decided to correct mistakes. But first she had to get rid of the mistake.

She looked up a recipe for tempera, an old water based paint. And made some at home. She put it in an old nail varnish bottle and took it to work.

It worked. And other secretaries in the bank saw her use it and started buying it from her.

She called it Mistake Out and started marketing it in her free time from her home.

Then one day the bank found out and fired her. She changed the name to Liquid Paper, built a factory, supply chain and the rest is history.

In 1979 she sold Liquid Paper to Gillette for $47.5 million plus royalties over the next 20 years.

Just 6 months later at the age of 56 she had a stroke and died.

She left most of her fortune to her son, Michael who became famous as one of The Monkees and invested his royalties into a video music company PopClips, a predecessor to MTV.

@APStylebook
You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you. We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors
conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses. We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.

I have been impressed with the @AnaheimDucks @nhl this year, but not their excessively orange kit… So I thought why not base their uniform on the beautiful mallard duck. What do you think?
