They're not fond of rules.
have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people.

Most social networks go up to 99. This place stops at 30 and I would like to know why.
The number of notifications is 30+

Is it me or did we used to have predictive text? If so why has it been replaced with this slop?
Predictive text does not offer the word today providing only other less useful spellings and variance including a non-word TODA.

The soul is the only bird that keeps its cage alive. 🕊️ As they say, we 'have bodies'; we are our essences. 🙏
