It's been difficult to separate the new World Trade Center building from that terrible day in 2001, but we now have the benefit of just enough time that we can begin to discuss the tower as a piece of architecture and as part of the skyline, on its own terms.

A nice shoutout by Dan Gillmor, a retired journalist → Retired professor at Arizona State U's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism → vocal journalism critic who argues that the mainstream media has BADLY fallen down on its 4th Estate job (and I completely agree).

Imagine you're a professional magician at a magic conference. 95% of the attendees are other magicians, looking to improve their craft and learn new ideas.

But 5% of the people there are self-appointed "investigators", seeking evidence that magic involves *actual* supernatural powers. To them, all the workshops, lectures, and literature about sleight of hand and technique are part of an elaborate subterfuge by elite magicians to hide the truth.

That's what working in election security is like.

The app limits the characters that can be entered as the phone number. Of course, the letter G should not be allowed. But . . . this post exists because the dash is not allowed. On the keyboard, the dash is disabled.

It is required, but not allowed.

Problem fixed by using the website instead of the app.
