As @askleo often says, if it only exists in one place, it's not backed up ...even if that place is on a backup drive. Backup your backups! bit.ly/2UDNFaS

When someone calls you, you never know who they are.
Don't trust what they say, what they know or the callerid.

When a big news story breaks, it's easy to let your emotions get in the way of using #NewsLiteracy skills.
Remember to pause & double-check before amplifying posts that may not be factual. Bad actors prey on emotional responses. Don't feed the trolls.

People are willing to do bad things to get your attention.
They'll yell and use guilt to get you to notice them.
They do that because those triggers work.
But never forget your attention is a choice.
Don't give it to people who don't deserve it just because they're loud.

Great start for Defensive Computing from Leo Notenboom:
"Look at your computer. Right now. The one you use most ... the one that has your work on it. Now, imagine it gone. Without warning, without recovery, just … gone."

Calling all newsletter creators!
I'm obsessed with newsletters: Reading them, writing them (@ftinterested), and spreading the word about great ones.
If you have one, reply with a description and link to it.
I'll promote this tweet as an ad to help more people discover it!
