Instagram will now let users add pronouns to their profiles

Instagram has added a dedicated space for pronouns to users' profiles, freeing up some of that precious 150-character bio space for more sparkle emojis.

      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
