I wonder if Biden’s stepping down was partly influenced by the assassination attempt. If he hadn’t, the most prominent symbol of this election would still be that image of Trump screaming “fight” while pumping his fist against the background of the American flag. But if someone from a deserted island opened a news website today for the first time, they wouldn’t even know there was an assassination attempt.
Whenever my colleague at the neighbouring desk left her laptop unlocked, I would go in, and create a new Word document saying ALWAYS LOCK YOUR LAPTOP in huge red font. She vowed she would eventually get back at me.
I once took a screenshot of some random text in a Word document with “CONFIDENTIAL” as the background watermark and then I used that screenshot as my lock screen wallpaper. When I locked my laptop and left my desk, she clocked the content of my screen and thought it was finally her moment to get back at me, but… it wasn’t.
