Three things in 2024 are certain: death, taxes, and adding "reddit" to the end of any google search. fastcompany.com/91176249/red…

You've probably heard of the Waffle House Index. Now get ready for the @Whataburger power outage tracker. I finally wrote a story for @FastCompany: fastcompany.com/91153428/tex…

Texans are using the Whataburger app to track power outages in the wake of Hurricane Beryl 

The regional fast-food giant's app has proven to be a surprisingly accurate metric for judging the outages.

New from me for @guardian: A conservative group, backed with a grant from the Heritage Foundation, will publish a list of civil servants they deem to be anti-Trump. If elected, Trump's plans to reclassify and replace those workers with MAGA loyalists. theguardian.com/us-news/arti…

Trump loyalists plan to name and shame ‘blacklist’ of federal workers

AAF to publish dossiers of employees they consider hostile to ex-president, with goal of ultimately replacing them
