A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are…

It's 8 mo until enforcement of the EU Accessibility Act starts. No matter where your business is located, if you have EU customers you may need to comply. Remember that it may take 6-9 months (at least) to get a site accessible. buff.ly/46Yz617

This movie looks awesome! Can’t wait!
Let them hear you. Out of My Mind, a Disney Original Movie based on the best-selling novel, is streaming November 22 on #DisneyPlus.
