I would have never heard the “expectant widow” joke if the President didn’t amplify it. #uspol

The grift never stops. The White House Correspondence Dinner had ~2600 guests. President Trump’s White House Ballroom will have a capacity of 1000 guests.
This isn’t a governmental event, and it wouldn’t be held at the WH either way. Ignoring that, the ballroom isn’t even a viable venue for the event!

I’ve been using Evernote for about 16 years as a paying customer. In a month, they’re increasing my price from $83.13 last year to $250.
I think it’s time for me to jump ship. I mainly use it to store scans of paper things I want to keep (I did like their OCR functionality). What are y’all using these days? #productivity #evernote

Starbucks changed its reward system. Using a SBUX card (stored value card), you previously earned 2x stars vs a credit/debit card 1x. Now, all transactions earn 1x, but you get a 10-star bonus if you add $30 or more to an SBUX card. Doesn’t seem worth it to recharge the card. #starbucks

Really great that they donate so much to medicine in Austin, but the naming scheme could use some work. Austin will have:
- Dell Children’s Medical Center (with another “Dell Children’s North Austin Medical Center”)
- Dell Seton Medical Center
- UT Dell Medical Center
- Seton Medical Center
Which hospital is the one next to the UT campus and the Dell Medical School? Dell Seton. Where’s UT Dell? Over by the Domain. Oh, near the Dell Children’s North Austin? No.
Michael and Susan Dell reach $1 billion in gifts to UT with funding of new medical center and research campus.
