We can’t say they didn’t have a sense of humor. 

Today, the U.S. Justice Department brought detailed charges against the Russian Internet Research Agency for its attempts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. With those charges,  we were gifted with a detailed look at the inner-workings of the Russian “troll farm” that has shaped our national discourse over the past year and a half — and it’s surprisingly funny.

The Russian group has been accused of creating social media accounts tied to fake persons and paying to promote their various pro-Trump shenanigans. To accomplish this, IRA employees obtained “fraudulent bank account numbers for the purpose of evading PayPal’s security measures.” Read more…

AMP for email is a terrible idea

sudshr47 February 14, 2018

 Google just announced a plan to “modernize” email, allowing “engaging, interactive, and actionable email experiences.” Does that sound like a terrible idea to anyone else? It sure sounds like a terrible idea to me, and not only that, but an idea borne out of competitive pressure and existing leverage rather than user needs. Not good, Google. Send to trash. Read More

There are two types of people in this world: those who live at inbox zero, and those whose inboxes are ruled by utter chaos. 

People are sharing screenshots of their unread emails on Twitter and they’ll either fill you with horror, or make you say “same.” 

Some people’s inboxes are so chaotic, they’re nearing the 100K unread email mark. Quite the achievement, tbqh.

Oh my days what happens when you hit 100,000 unread emails? I feel like it should unlock some magical powers or somethingpic.twitter.com/fnQcNlBdQ2
