On Episode 254 of K12 Tech Talk, Josh, Chris, and Mark break down Apple's big announcement: the Mac Neo, a $499 laptop that many call a potential Chromebook killer. They compare specs, durability, repairability, management with Apple School Manager, resale value, and the extra operational costs and security considerations (EDR, content filtering, app installs) for school districts. The hosts debate whether the Neo could replace student Chromebooks or target staff and teacher devices first. The episode also covers recent education tech news: a $1.1M California fine against PlayOn for deceptive data‑sharing practices, College Board's ban on smart glasses during exams, and Arkansas HB78 proposing a ban on passive screen time in Pre‑K and Kindergarten with mandatory teacher training. ———— Sponsored by: Meter - meter.com/k12techtalk Visit meter.com/k12techtalk to book a demo!   Eaton - SysAdmin.

In this episode I'm joined by Jim Morris.  We chat about the wake-up call that pushed him from building first to testing first. Jim and I discuss loyalty programs no one wanted, roadmaps filled with sequenced risk, AI prototypes that hallucinate and the uncomfortable reality that confidence often replaces evidence.We also dig into something deeper: why smart teams ignore data, why leaders fall in love once an idea hits the roadmap, and why testing isn't about better UX,  it's about real value.Jim shares how he even tests his own teaching process for students at Berkeley.Because as he puts it:“We can build stuff. But if people don't use it, we're just creating product debt.”Enjoy my conversation with Jim Morris.TakeawaysTesting is crucial to ensure product effectiveness and user engagement.Data analysis can reveal the true usage of product features.Mindset plays a significant role in how product ideas are perceived and developed.Not all ideas will succeed; testing helps identify the viable ones.User motivation is key to the success of features and programs.Prototyping tools can enhance the testing process but require careful implementation.Learning from failures in testing is essential for growth and improvement.Roadmaps should be flexible to adapt to changing priorities and evidence.It's important to focus on the core value proposition of a product.Continuous experimentation and adaptation are vital in product management.Guest LinksWebsite: https://productdiscoverygroup.com/LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmorrisstanford/ If your leadership team is about to make a big strategic bet, the real risk usually isn't the idea, it's the assumptions behind it that haven't been surfaced yet.

In dieser Episode starten wir mit einem kleinen Behind-the-Scenes-Tech-Check und landen direkt im echten Alltag zwischen Kita-Ausfall, „Backup-Kita“ und dem Coworking-Rettungsanker JuggleHUB. Danach geht's wie gewohnt in eure Struktur: Was war los? → Rapid Fire → Deep Dive – mit einem klaren Fokus auf die Frage, wie KI Agents und neue Produktlogiken gerade Recruiting, HR-Tech und sogar Medien/Advertising verändern. - Work-Life-Realität & HR-Relevanz: Coworking mit integrierter Kinderbetreuung als echter Produktivitätshebel – kurzfristig buchbar, alltagsnah, HR-tauglich gedacht. • Daten statt Dashboards: Warum Unternehmen vermehrt nach API-/Datenschnittstellen fragen: LLMs machen Visualisierung „selbst baubar“ – entscheidend wird die Datenqualität, nicht das fertige Frontend. • SaaS unter Druck? Diskussion über den Shift von User-based Pricing hin zu Usage-/Consumption-based Modellen, weil Agents Prozesse übernehmen und „User-Lizenzen“ perspektivisch weniger werden. • KI als Team-Workflow: Ihr teilt Aufgaben über ChatGPT-Workflows/Fragebögen (inkl. Sprachnutzung unterwegs) – als interner Produktivitäts-Hack für Struktur, Delegation und saubere Zusammenfassungen. • Recruiting- und Job-Search der Zukunft: Wenn KI die Suche personalisiert, werden Filter wie „elternfreundlich“ ggf. automatisch priorisiert – Frage: Wie macht man Elternfreundlichkeit mess- und erklärbar?

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS, provides a comprehensive guide to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs). The episode explores the critical differences in SEO strategies for product-based (E Commerce / E-Commerce) and service-based businesses (SEO Services), offering actionable insights for online growth.Favour emphasizes the foundational importance of a fast, reliable website for any business, highlighting how website performance directly impacts user experience and, consequently, SEO algorithm rankings. For product-based businesses, the discussion centers on the power of visual storytelling through high-quality, optimized images and the technical advantages of using structured data to create informative rich snippets in search results. The episode then shifts to service-based businesses (SEO Services), detailing how to build trust and authority through valuable content marketing and the necessity of local SEO for businesses serving a specific geographic area. A key theme throughout the episode is the concept of user intent, with Favour explaining how to target both commercial and informational keywords to attract customers at every stage of their journey. Finally, the episode underscores the long-term nature of SEO, stressing that consistency in content creation and optimization efforts is the ultimate key to sustainable online success. This podcast episode is a must-listen for any business owner looking to demystify SEO and implement effective strategies for lasting growth.Book SEO Services?

Website Performance is Paramount: A fast, reliable, and user-friendly website is the non-negotiable foundation for any successful SEO strategy, impacting everything from user engagement to search engine rankings.2. Tailor Your SEO Strategy: The optimal SEO approach differs significantly between product-based and service-based businesses. Product businesses should focus on visual optimization and structured data, while service businesses should prioritize content that builds authority and trust.3. Leverage Visuals for Product SEO: For e-commerce and product-focused businesses, high-quality, optimized images with descriptive alt text are crucial for attracting and converting customers who rely on visual information to make purchasing decisions.4. Build Authority with Content for Service SEO: Service-based businesses can establish themselves as industry leaders by consistently creating valuable, informative content (like blogs, case studies, and whitepapers) that addresses their target audience's needs and questions.5. Master User Intent: Understanding whether a user is looking to buy (commercial intent) or learn (informational intent) is key. A balanced content strategy that targets both types of keywords will capture a wider audience and nurture leads through the entire customer journey.6. Embrace Local SEO: For service businesses with a physical location or defined service area, optimizing for local search by managing a Google Business Profile and creating location-specific content is essential for attracting nearby customers.7. Consistency is the Long-Term Game: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Sustainable growth is achieved through consistent, long-term effort in content creation, technical optimization, and building a strong online presence, rather than expecting overnight success.Memorable Quotes[09:05] "As a service-based business or as a product-based business is your website. How fast is your website?"[35:09] "That's why we're in this room today because we want to know what is a commercial value?"[36:22] "You gotta be consistent, you gotta be putting out the content, you gotta do a lot of things."[37:01] "Long, long, long, long, long-term."Episode FAQs1. What is the most important first step in any SEO strategy?The most crucial first step is ensuring you have a fast, reliable, and mobile-friendly website. A poor-performing site will undermine all other SEO efforts.2. How does SEO for a product-based business differ from a service-based business?Product-based SEO heavily relies on high-quality images, structured data (schema markup) for product details, and e-commerce platform optimization. Service-based SEO focuses more on building authority through in-depth content, demonstrating expertise, and often includes a strong local SEO component.3. What is user intent and why is it important for SEO?User intent is the 'why' behind a search query. It can be informational (looking for information), commercial (intending to buy), transactional (ready to complete a purchase), or navigational (looking for a specific site). Understanding intent allows you to create content that directly addresses the user's needs, leading to higher engagement and better rankings.4. How long does it take to see results from SEO?SEO is a long-term strategy. While some minor results can be seen in a few months, significant, lasting results typically take six months to a year of consistent effort to achieve.5. What is the role of content in SEO for service-based businesses?For service-based businesses, content is the primary tool for building trust and demonstrating expertise. High-quality blog posts, articles, case studies, and guides attract potential clients, answer their questions, and position your business as a credible authority in your field.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Introduction: SEO for Product vs. Service Businesses[03:03] The Difference Between Product and Service-Based Businesses[08:56] The Importance of Website Speed and Reliability[10:01] SEO for Product-Based Businesses: Images and Structured Data[15:21] SEO for Service-Based Businesses: Content and Local SEO[34:10] Understanding User Intent: Commercial vs. Informational Keywords[36:07] The Importance of Consistency in SEOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The decades-old prohibition against gun possession by illegal drug users went before the U-S Supreme Court for oral arguments -- the focus in this case questions marijuana use... and brings up questions on what qualifies someone as a drug user? Managing Editor with SCOTUSblog, Kelsey Dallas, about the case and what the courts are thinking leading into their decisions.

The crew navigates a "Level 10" Homie Helpline where a caller named Chris gets publicly blindsided by her secret wife of ten years after trying to complain about her "mistress" baby mama's ex-girlfriend. The "studious fools" also catch a case of the Petty Police as they roast Busta Rhymes for telling a fan she had a "big face" and investigate how Kylie Jenner’s custom Stormi world clothes ended up in a Goodwill bin. [Edited by @iamdyre

The U.S. Supreme Court is now weighing a pivotal Second Amendment case involving a Texas man who regularly uses marijuana and was charged under a federal law that bans drug users from possessing firearms. During Monday’s oral arguments, justices pressed government lawyers on whether such a ban is overly broad, especially as marijuana becomes legal in many states. The case could reshape gun rights for millions of cannabis users nationwide, with several justices appearing skeptical of the government’s position.

Bundeskanzler Merz ist zurück von seiner China-Reise. Das Land spielt bei der Unterstützung des russischen Kriegs gegen die Ukraine eine wichtige Rolle. In Peking wollte der Bundeskanzler u.a. seine Gastgeber dazu bringen, sich stärker für eine Beendigung des Ukraine-Krieges einzusetzen. In einem gemeinsamen deutsch-chinesischen Statement wird immerhin die "Ukraine-Frage" erwähnt. Und: Die früher regelmäßigen Regierungskonsultationen zwischen Deutschland und China sollen wieder aufgenommen werden, nachdem sie in den letzten Jahren ins Stocken geraten waren - ein Erfolg. "Kanäle wieder aufzumachen" - das sei das Ziel des Bundeskanzlers, sagt Prof. Dr. May-Britt Stumbaum, die Direktorin des Spear-Instituts, einer sicherheitspolitischen Denkfabrik, und assoziierte Professorin an der Bundeswehr-Universität München. Allerdings: Auf Augenhöhe sehe sich China nur mit den USA, Russland sei für Peking "nützlich". Wichtig für Deutschland sei, "zu Hause" stark zu werden und den eigenen Mittelstand zu schützen - insbesondere vor chinesischer Technologie- und Wirtschaftsspionage, so Stumbaum, die auch Reserve-Offizierin der Luftwaffe ist. Sie berichtet im Gespräch mit Anna Engelke von Chinas kognitiver Kriegsführung. Dabei geht es darum, die Wahrnehmung des Gegners zu verändern. Dafür nutze China auch TikTok: Durch kurze Videos solle die Konzentrationsfähigkeit der User:innen untergraben werden: "Innerhalb Chinas sind diese Reels wesentlich länger. Außerhalb Chinas sind diese Reels wesentlich kürzer und das hat die Auswirkung, dass sie die Konzentrationsfähigkeit systematisch untergraben. Und natürlich ist das Zentrum einer Demokratie, dass ich mich konzentrieren kann, um mich mit den Informationen auseinanderzusetzen", so die Sicherheits-Expertin.

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to disable Hot Corners on macOS.Hot Corners are areas of the screen that perform a specified action when the mouse pointer is hovered over them. As a VoiceOver user who doesn't use the mouse, you might want to configure them to do nothing, so you don't inadvertently cause an action to be performed if you accidentally brush your fingers against the trackpad or use trackpad gestures to control VoiceOver. To do this, go to System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Hot Corners, and make sure the popup menu for each screen corner is set to hyphen (-) rather than any of the actions in the menu.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Tyler: Hey, AppleVis-ers. Tyler here with a quick tip for how to disable hot corners on macOS. Hot corners are areas of the screen that, when hovered over with the mouse pointer, cause certain functions to be performed, such as locking the screen, starting screensaver, or creating a quick note.Tyler: If you're a voiceover user who doesn't use the mouse, you may want to disable these so you don't inadvertently trigger them in the course of using your Mac, say, if you accidentally brush your fingers on the trackpad or if you use trackpad gestures to control voiceover. To do this, you go into System Settings, Desktop and Dock, click the Hot Corners button, and make sure each of the four corners is set not to perform any action. And I'm going to demonstrate that now on my Mac.VoiceOver: Menu bar Apple. Apple, system settings. System settings. T7, volume, systems, general, window, sidebar.Tyler: D for desktop and dock.VoiceOver: Desktop and dock. Desktop and dock, scroll area.Tyler: Interact with scroll area.VoiceOver: Desktop and dock, scroll area. 77 up.Tyler: And because the Hot Corners button is located near the bottom, I'm going to jump to the bottom of VL Globe, right?VoiceOver: Help button.Tyler: VL left.VoiceOver: Hot Corners button.Tyler: Hot Corners.VoiceOver: Dialog hyphen top left Hot Corner pop-up button.Tyler: Here we are. So at the top of the dialog, VLGlobe left arrow. Okay, so that's hyphen. And that means that there is nothing, no action bound to that hot corner. But if I go into the pop-up menu. Mission control. Application windows. Desktop. Notification center. Apps. Quick note. Start screensaver. Disable screensaver.Tyler: And hyphen, which is do nothing. So if that corner, the top left corner on your Mac is set to do something else and you don't want it to do that, just change it to hyphen. And if you go VL right, bottom left, same deal.VoiceOver: Choose hyphen.Tyler: And top right is hyphen. Hyphen, bottom right. So if all of these are set to hyphen,Tyler: there will be no actions performed when moving the mouse to the corners of the screen. So no hot corner is active. And when you're done, just feel right again, hit done. Hot corners button. And here you are back in system settings. So that's a quick tip for how to disable hot corners on Mac OS. It's a quick set it and forget it task that can help if you…

The biggest mistake Bitcoin and sovereignty-focused developers keep making is trying to sell people on why they care instead of building something people actually want to use. They don't care about decentralization, sovereignty, or peer-to-peer - they care about things that work. Looking at the user experience tells us just how far we still need to go. Why does logging into a free service feel like a hostage negotiation? Why are captchas filling every corner of the web when bots are better at solving them than humans? Is KYC and a credit card to every single service we want to login to really the "better experience" that the future holds for us? And why in 2026, sharing and syncing files between your own devices and among friends still migraine inducing? It's time to work backward from the web we want to have, to find the tools that will get us there.

The Strategic Divide That Will Define the AI Native Age To watch it as a 3-min video To read it as a 1-min blog (coming soon) Have you ever felt that an AI-powered product was treating you as a data source rather than a human being worth serving? I recently walked away from an app I had relied on for years. It refused to let me access my own account unless I consented to handing over my personal data — no alternative, no negotiation. I deleted it without hesitation. This is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern. In the race to capitalize on AI, too many organizations have reduced customer experience to a data extraction opportunity. User satisfaction has become secondary — or abandoned entirely. The consequences will be severe. No amount of data harvested from a churned customer generates growth. Treating users as raw material is not just an ethical failure. It is a strategic one. What Separates Proactive AI Native Leaders From Reactive Ones Proactive AI Native Leadership Proactive leaders are architecting intelligent business models and AI ecosystems around a single defining question: What is the intended user journey, and does AI meaningfully elevate it? They invest in designing smarter, more human experiences — enabled by AI, not imposed by it. The result is stronger customer loyalty, greater brand equity, and sustainable ROI. Reactive AI Deployment Reactive organizations deploy AI tools in pursuit of speed, efficiency, or competitive pressure — without ever asking what experience they are actually creating for the human on the other side of the system. They optimize for capability. They neglect experience. And they will pay for it very dearly. AI Native Leadership is not about having the most advanced tools. It is about having the wisdom to design those tools around human dignity, trust, and purpose. Introducing AIXD — AI Experience Design Today, I am launching AIXD.world. AIXD stands for AI Experience Design. It is pro-human, not anti-AI. Before models are trained, before systems are deployed, before automation scales — AIXD asks the questions that determine whether AI serves your customers or simply extracts from them. The AI Native Brand Architecture™ is AIXD's proprietary framework for helping founders, CEOs, and boards make the shift from AI adoption to AI architecture — intelligent business model design centered on user experience, customer journey, and long-term brand value. User experience is brand experience. Brand experience determines enterprise destiny.

Released February 12, 2026, for $29.99, this 2D action-platformer—marketed as a Metroidvania—explores young Kratos during his Spartan Agoge training alongside brother Deimos, framed by adult Kratos (voiced by T.C. Carson) narrating to Calliope.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the core premise, gameplay execution, and franchise implications. The ~12-hour experience features light/heavy attacks, parry/dodge mechanics, color-coded enemy attacks, and "Gifts from Olympus" abilities like double jump and slingshot. Exploration includes interconnected maps, collectibles (owls, lore, olive trees), optional bosses, and upgrades via blood orbs.Critically, it holds a 69 Metacritic / 70 OpenCritic score—the lowest in the 20+ year God of War series—praised for brotherhood themes and retro style but criticized for stiff combat lacking impact, shallow Metroidvania elements, limited backtracking encouragement, repetitive story loops, and basic progression. Visuals sit between retro and modern but lack cinematic scale. The co-op controversy—initial listings implied full campaign support, but it's limited to post-game challenge mode—sparked confusion and refund requests.User scores sit higher at 8.2, with some quick Platinum achievements.

In this episode, I cover:* The fear and skepticism many researchers feel toward synthetic users, especially around job security and research quality.* How a synthetic panel works in Qualtrics, step by step, including setup, question design, and early signals.* The tension between stated advice and lived behavior in synthetic data, and how that tension becomes a clue for deeper human follow-up.* How synthetic results can help shape hypotheses, narrow scope, and surface mental models worth examining with human participants.* The role of experimentation, reality-checking, and ethical use when bringing synthetic insights into a human-centered research practice.Key Takeaways:* Synthetic users aren't a replacement, they're a low-stakes way to surface potential thinking paths worth exploring. Fear of being replaced is real for many UXRs, but synthetic panels don't replicate lived experience. They can spark ideas, highlight tension in responses, and point toward questions worth asking humans, but they don't carry nuance, emotion, memory, or contradiction. They're an extra tool, not a takeover. * Synthetic panels help you see mental models earlier, especially the ones users rarely say out loud. The synthetic example in the video about routines revealed goal-driven thinking mixed with self-doubt, which is a pattern worth validating with real people. This gives researchers a head start when writing interview guides or structuring probes. It doesn't give you truth, but it does give you direction. * Synthetic data is great for pressure-testing your own questions before running a study. I described how running a synthetic version of a study I'd previously done with humans showed where the survey and interview questions held up and where they needed tightening. This kind of dry-run can save time, catch weak spots, and help teams narrow scope before talking to real people. * Researchers still need to reality-check everything with humans. Synthetic outputs are predictions shaped by large datasets, not lived stories. Human sessions reveal timing, emotion, contradictions, and subtle meaning shifts that synthetic models can't replicate. You can use synthetic to form hypotheses, but every hypothesis needs human evidence behind it. * Ethical and intentional use must lead the way. Researchers should be the ones teaching teams how to use synthetic panels responsibly. That means knowing where they fit, where they fail, and how to protect user trust. Synthetic tools aren't going anywhere, so UXRs benefit from learning how to guide their use with clarity and care.The companion guide to synthetic users:Want to learn even more about synthetic users?

In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Michael Ferranti, a veteran of developer tools and cloud-native infrastructure with over a decade of experience at companies like PortWorks, Teleport, and Unleash. Michael shares insights on feature management, the critical role of feature flags in modern software delivery, and how to effectively market to developers. The conversation explores why "friends don't let friends build their own feature flag system," the evolving landscape of product-led growth, and how AI is reshaping go-to-market strategies for developer tools.Key Takeaways[5:27] - The Common Thread in Category Creation[7:17] - What is Feature Management?[11:56] - The Cost of Downtime[18:28] - The Race Car Analogy[19:59] - Marketing to Developers[24:18] - User vs. Buyer[30:30] - Easy to Try is Essential[35:30] - Organic Search is Declining[36:29] - AIO (AI Optimization)[40:26] - The PLG Myth[44:17] - The AI ShiftTweetable Quotes"The thing that makes product development and success in SaaS really easy is when you have a product that solves real problems in a market that's big enough.""Friends don't let friends build their own feature flag system. You're not writing your own version of Git—feature management is no different.""Feature flags are like brakes on a race car. They don't slow you down—they let you go faster by allowing you to take turns safely and accelerate out of them.""Marketing to developers is no more complicated than marketing to dentists. People are people—they respond to emotion, logic, and pain.""The biggest objection to feature flags is that people think it's gonna slow them down, when in fact it's all about speeding them up.""If you're doing go-to-market the same way you were doing it 12 months ago, you're probably doing it wrong. Now it's six months. Now it's three months."SaaS Leadership Lessons1. Market Size Trumps Perfect Execution Even with the best product and conversion rates, growth will plateau if your addressable market isn't large enough. Evaluate market size as rigorously as you evaluate product-market fit.2. Speed Requires Safety Mechanisms The fastest-moving teams aren't reckless—they've invested in systems (like feature flags) that allow them to ship confidently and recover instantly. Build your "brakes" before you try to accelerate.3. Know Your User vs. Your Buyer Developer tools require a dual strategy: serve the hands-on-keyboard users who will love (or hate) your product, while convincing budget holders of business value. Neglect either and you'll struggle.4. Friction is the Enemy of Adoption In developer tools, the ability to try your product without a sales conversation isn't optional—it's existential. Whether through open source, free trials, or freemium models, eliminate barriers to first value.5. Proprietary Data is Your AI Moat As AI reshapes discovery, the companies that win will be those with unique data sources that LLMs cite as authoritative. Think "Zillow for home prices" in your category.6. Adaptability is the New Competitive Advantage The pace of change has accelerated to the point where strategies have a 3-6 month shelf life. Build a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and rapid learning rather...

In this workshop replay episode, Kelly pulls back the curtain on how she's monetizing books, thought leadership, and Substack heading into 2026. With two active book launches underway, Kelly shares the exact strategies she's using to turn books into long-term assets that generate daily sales, attract premium clients, and compound authority over time. In this training, you'll learn why books are one of the few truly passive income streams available to thought leaders, how to avoid the most common mistakes authors make after launch, and how to build a "book flywheel" that fuels your entire business ecosystem. Kelly also walks through why Substack has become a cornerstone of her strategy, how her team monetized it to over $10K in 30 days starting from zero, and why serious authors and experts need to be paying attention now (especially as AI reshapes the personal brand landscape). Whether you already have a book, are preparing for a launch, or want to elevate your authority as a category leader, this episode will completely change how you think about publishing, monetization, and legacy building.

Building on the high-octane energy of 2024's Hardstone Psycho, this 18-track project continues the "more fuel consumption" theme with explosive melodic trap-R&B fusion, heavy bass, beat switches, and motorhead-inspired motifs.The Houston native—known for auto-tuned vocals, soulful hooks, and viral TikTok smashes like “No Idea” and “After Party”—delivers high-energy anthems from the jump. Standout features include Yeat on “Rendezvous,” Rema on “Secondhand,” Travis Scott on “Rosary,” Teezo Touchdown on “All The Signs,” and SahBabii, amplifying cross-genre reach from trap to Afrobeats adjacency.Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect breaks down the sonic profile: futuristic production, strong opening sequences, and vocal prowess that elevate the ride, despite some critics noting mid-album stretches and perceived bloat.Critical reception splits—Pitchfork awards 6.5/10 for personality and features amid underwhelming moments, while Clash praises 8/10 for cohesion and consistency. User scores on Album of the Year hover 60–80, highlighting production futurism and debate over editing.Commercially, OCTANE marks Don Toliver's first #1 debut on Billboard 200 with ~135K–157K first-week units (including ~20K pure sales via vinyl/merch bundles), nearly doubling Hardstone Psycho's peak and claiming 2026's biggest opening so far. Pre-release buzz from lead single “Tiramisu” (Sept 2025), pop-ups, Reebok collabs, and playlist optimization fueled streaming dominance.This rollout cements Toliver's Tier-1 escalation: sustained growth, merchandising muscle, and strategic features driving global consumption in melodic trap's core demographic. Analytic Dreamz explores how OCTANE solidifies his place as a consistent hitmaker blending accessibility with experimental edge. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
