It's interesting that YouTube has adopted a bastardized version of Markdown for comments. One asterisk on either side of the word indicates bold on yt, but the standard md says that's italics.

Anyway, I love #Markdown, don't love the creator so much, but think md should flourish across the web, even the corporate web. Just keep the standard for goodness sake.

Meta, Meta, Meta. So Meta. This Reuters report is 🔥

"Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show"

"Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. Among its responses to suspected rogue marketers: charging them a premium for ads – and issuing reports on ’Scammiest Scammers.’

Nancy Pelosi will retire after historic 20-term career in Congress:

"The 85-year-old Democrat will be remembered for her bruising style and her willingness to take on all foes, most recently President Donald Trump, with whom she still regularly trades insults."

She will be remembered for overstaying her welcome, obstructing the progressive movement, her unnecessary feud with AOC, and padding her stock portfolio. ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2025/11/06/nancy-pelosi-will-retire-after.html
