Made a little promo reel.

If you have been meaning to learn Canva but keep putting it off, my book breaks it all down step by step. No design experience needed. Grab a copy and spend the weekend leveling up your visuals.

If you're posting on multiple platforms, Canva Pro's Magic Resize is a must. One design → every format in seconds. It's how I manage 9 platforms.

@BrandonFugal I have a hypothesis that I’m sure you guys have thought of: the bubble is more a sensor that tells someone somewhere that something is going through the bubble. It then triggers the 1.6Ghz frequency which notifies someone or something that the breach has happened.

Once it learns something is not a threat, the bubble doesn’t have to respond anymore. Perhaps it’s built to protect whatever is in the mesa from whatever is outside of the bubble. Have there been any Skinwalker sightings or things that could have come from portals or even UAPs that you’ve documented *inside* the bubble before? If not, perhaps that’s the purpose of the bubble. And maybe other things appear either to protect the area, or maybe sometimes things appear because they’re also tracking that signal that the bubble produces.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.

Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.

The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."

An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.

Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.

The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.

No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.

Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

Did you know Canva has a background remover built right in? No Photoshop needed. One click and it is done. I walk through this and dozens of other hidden tools in Canva For Dummies.

A woman told me last night that I look younger than my dating profile pictures. She’s the second woman to tell me this. Both think I look like I’m in my 30s (I’ll take it!). Is that a reverse catfish? Am I reverse aging? And how can I now make my dating profile pictures look younger lol? 😂

I used to spend 45 minutes making a single social graphic. Now it takes me about 5 minutes in Canva Pro. The difference is knowing which features to actually use. Most people only scratch the surface.

Writing "Canva For Dummies" meant testing every single Canva feature so you don't have to. One tip from the book that saves hours. Start with brand kits before you design anything else. It changes everything.

Weekend project, 45 min, pays off forever:

Set up your Canva Brand Kit.

Logo. 2 fonts. 5 colors.

Every future design opens already on-brand.

Brand Kit walkthrough is chapter 5 of Canva For Dummies → https://t.co/ORLbIWGKjX

Five Canva keyboard shortcuts I use every single day:

T → text box
R → rectangle
C → circle
L → line
Cmd/Ctrl + D → duplicate (saves me ~15 min per design)

Bonus: Hold Shift while resizing to lock proportions. Hold Alt/Option while dragging to duplicate-and-drag.

Full shortcut sheet (30+) is in the appendix of Canva For Dummies → https://t.co/8xKgSfa4rP

Most people open Canva, pick a template, and just swap the words.

The pros do something different: they hack the template.

Change one font. One color. One photo. Suddenly it's yours, not Canva's.

Again, the issue is that building such a massive data center is a gamble right now. But does anyone realize that @SpencerJCox is an Alfalfa farmer?

If you can help, even a little, it means the world. Every dollar gets Louis closer to a life with more in it. 💙

My son Louis is 26. He has ME/CFS and hEDS — conditions that make every step cost him enormously. He can walk, but his body pays for it. His energy is finite. His joints unstable. His walker throws him to the ground.

[Jesse Stay - Growth Hacking, AI & Automation @Jesse]

We're appealing. We're fighting. But while we wait, Louis is stuck. Every day without this chair is another day of triage — what can he do today, and what does he have to give up? No 26-year-old should face that.
