There is, finally, a decent way to edit / redact a #PDF for free on the desktop.
I don't know when exactly #LibreOffice Draw advanced to this level, but in the current version you can open a PDF, edit the text and graphics in it, and save it as a PDF.
Two caveats:
1) It sometimes doesn't read image cropping info from the PDF, so you may need to recrop images.
2) Make sure you have all the fonts in the PDF installed on your system before editing it, or Draw will substitute different fonts.

Hey #Boston!Hey #Boston! There's an election Tuesday!
If I can get up 5am, get to my polling place by 6am, and work 15 hours for minimum wage to help ensure that we have free and fair elections, then you can take a half hour out of your day to go vote.
There will be no line at your precinct. You will be in and out in five minutes. You just have to show up between 7am and 8pm.
Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

A founder whom I was closely involved with at one of their previous startups recently emailed and asked if there was anyone I could recommend for their new AI startupA founder whom I was closely involved with at one of their previous startups recently emailed and asked if there was anyone I could recommend for their new AI startup.
I replied: "Sorry, I am not recommending people for AI jobs. The AI hype bubble is destroying the tech industry, needlessly damaging the environment, and making life worse for people, and when the bubble pops it's going to take the American economy with it. I want nothing to do with that."
I'm not messing around here.
