I'm embarrassed by the fact that I actually knew precisely what she meant.

I"m embarrassed that I didn't. Did she mean digitize?

Part of it. You get a vaccine. Which means you get the chip. And then the government can take over your body (essentially turning you into a robot).

Oh that. Well, of course that. That's totally obvious. I thought she was saying something that everyone doesn't already know.

NYPD: Man and woman stabbed inside MOMA in Midtown

NEW YORK - Police said they are searching for an individual who stabbed two employees inside the Museum of Modern Art on Saturday.

The man and the woman who were taken to Bellevue Hospital are expected to survive, officials said.

At approximately 4:15 p.m. a man attempted to gain entrance to the museum with an expired membership, NYPD officials said at a news conference.

Police say the individual proceeded to jump over the reception desk to attack two workers. The victims received stab wounds to the back of the neck and collarbones, officials said.

Museum security was present at the scene, and police said the incident was "spontaneous" and "rapidly unfolded" before security could respond.

The NYPD said the individual has two prior "disorderly conduct" incidents on two separate dates and he is known to the staff. Police said he is not a previous employee.

Police in the vicinity are searching for a man wearing a black coat, colorful shirt and blue surgical mask.

A spokesperson for the mayor's office said, “This appears to be an isolated, criminal incident. Neither victim is suffering from life-threatening injuries at this time. The mayor will continue to monitor the situation and the progress of the two victims."

Mental health professionals and sociologists have their hands full. Psychotic breaks don't only happen in poor neighborhoods and end in violence.

The picture below summarizes trends in internet usage for 11-17 year old Austrians. I wonder how different it would look elsewhere in EU or in USA. Percentage indicate difference from an identical survey in 2021.

No Twitter?

No Twitter?

Oh, I didn't even notice... Either teenagers don't use it much or maybe they were not asked about it?

Under 30% for Facebook - how that trend continues as these teens & tweens move into adulthood, and whether Instagram remains popular, or whether Facebook will need to find a new app to bring in younger generations.

I thought I and some of my contacts were the only person still using skype.

Skype has gone heavily corporate. Several oil giants use it for internal comms.
WA is so huge because it can sub for regular phone, in countries that do not have UNLIMITED calling plans. That is the reason it is used so much. I bet usage in L. America is as high.

WA usage is high in the Caribbean too.

Microsoft is switching most corporates from Skype to Teams now.

WA is popular everywhere except maybe some countries in East Asia.

The sky was orange in Switzerland as well few days ago, but the severity was nothing like south of the Alps. By the way it's a completely natural phenomenon. Has been happening for thousands of years.

^ Thousands of years?? I don't think so.
Impossible.
That would mean that the world existed before 'social media', and you'll have a very difficult time convincing most people of that!
