In Norway, @IKEA has put up shelves with towels near popular bathing spots. Grab a towel, and pay with @Vipps_no (a mobile based payment app almost all Norwegians use).

All based on trust.

Would this work where you live?

One of the very few “cons” with the #COVID19 crisis, is the creativity that people show online. One example is @samaracello, here with “Super Mario Bros. ❤️

Both this Apple keynote and late night shows like @LateNightSeth have really shown how much dead air there is when an audience is laughing/clapping every other line — I like the revved-up speed!

But will YouTube keep playing when "off screen" in PIP on iOS 14? I doubt it. Google needs our money. 😂 #WWDC2020

Two years ago I drove through Alabama on my way to #SXSW. I followed the historic trail from Montgomery to Selma. Visited the museum and walked the bridge. Such an important place in US history. All US citizens and visitors should go. And learn. #Selma55

Hold finger on ANY gif in any app or browser, and iOS saves it as a favourite.

@ClintSmithIII Why is there voter registration AT ALL? In most European countries you show up with the card the government starts sending you automatically when you’re 18. And vote.
