Loved that @realDonaldTrump stood in front of a fake presidential seal with Russian inspired symbols and golf clubs. Now time to mail our letters with artist Michael T.'s subversive stamps, lampooning Trump as the post office treats them as official documents. #45isapuppet

Obama's records are 95% born-digital so his Library will be digital. @dancohen points out that this is less a decision by the library, and more a reflection of our times. The Obama Library will become a cultural center and museum, cousin to libraries, but different.
@ehmota94 @Beveldine They must not know that Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of Mexican forces against the French in 1862, and that—undefeated—the French would have joined the U.S. Confederacy to uphold slavery. Love the idea of Trump supporters toasting Cinco de Mayo + the abolition of slavery!
Celebrating failure is the ethos of @hackaday, a site for engineering enthusiasts who “build instead of buy, repair instead of trash.” Their Fail of The Week column invites builders to “help keep the fun rolling by writing about your past failures.” #WednesdayWisdom#Hacker
