I’m pained to discover that @HBOMax only has English dubs of the Studio Ghibli collection. I was really hoping for the originals in Japanese.
The biggest story in tech no one’s talking about is Uber discovering they’d been defrauded out of $100M - or 2/3 of their ad spend. And all bc Sleeping Giants kept bugging them to...…

David McMillan is not a first responder or healthcare worker. So even he was surprised when a Giant Food pharmacist asked him and his friend if they wanted to get the Moderna vaccine.
Hard to believe that vaccine distribution is turning into a boondoggle… Hearing that others are getting last minute doses to prevent waste is good to hear though.
This new app is designed as a desktop replacement for lots of Microsoft’s mail apps.

Give it a whirl!
