I have a souvenir hockey puck from the last game ever played at the old Boston Garden before they tore it down. My date walked out with the top piece of wood, number stenciled on it, of the seat he sat in.

ok, I get the lean in thing, but what is the lean away thing? and yes, fully acknowledging it’s all stupid.

Most Americans have no idea this much of their privacy is gone. A whole bunch of folks will tell you there’s nothing they can do about it and shrug. But we can absolutely claw back our rights and we should at least try, even if that means state by state. (CA, CO, IL, NY for examples) #privacy

Apple knows the problem and will swap ‘em for you. Just go into the store. My husband did it and it was easy.

help to educate people. Chiding people while acquiescing your own control isn’t necessarily helpful to spark change and a clawing back of privacy rights. In the 1970s the US were global leaders, we can be again if we choose. 2/2
