In a 24 x 24 pixel artboard, use the rectangle tool (R) to draw a 18 x 10 pixel rectangle positioned horizontally centered and 6 pixels from the top of the artboard.
Using the ellipse tool (O), draw a 96 x 96 pixel circle and align the top to the center/top of the rectangle. Select both shapes and use the boolean tool to intersect the group.
Using the ellipse tool (O), draw a 48 x 48 pixel circle and align the bottom to the center/bottom of the rectangle. Select both shapes and use the boolean tool to intersect the group.
Flatten the shape (command + E) and double click it to make it editable. Select the top left and right points and give them a 2 pixel corner radius. Select the bottom left and right points and give them a 1 pixel corner radius.
Using the rectangle shape tool (R), draw a 16 x 10 pixel rectangle positioned horizontally centered and make the bottom 3 pixels from the bottom of the artboard.
Using the ellipse tool (O), draw a 96 x 96 pixel circle and align the bottom to the center/bottom of the rectangle. Select both shapes and cut them using the intersect boolean group tool.
Flatten the shape (command + E) and double click it to make it editable. Select the bottom left and right points and give them a 2 pixel corner radius.
Select both shapes and convert them to a centered stroke and flatten them together (command + E). Using the pen tool (P), add 2 points where the shapes intersect (zoom in if the pen isn’t snapping into position).
Delete the overlapping lines.
Double click the shape to make it editable so you can add connecting points. Use the pen tool (P) to manually draw the handle connected to the top. I made it ~3 x 8 pixels. Give the points a 2 pixel corner radius.
To create the dot button, draw a rectangle and manually adjust the size to 0.01 and give it a stroke.
Flatten the layers (command + E) and adjust the stroke to your desired radius/width (Rounded/1.5 pixel stroke shown below).

TA DA 👏🏻

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
These past few days I've been experimenting with something new that I want to use by myself.

Interestingly, this thread below has been written by that.

Let me show you how it looks like. 👇🏻


When you see localhost up there, you should know that it's truly an experiment! 😀


It's a dead-simple thread writer that will post a series of tweets a.k.a tweetstorm. ⚡️

I've been personally wanting it myself since few months ago, but neglected it intentionally to make sure it's something that I genuinely need.

So why is that important for me? 🙂

I've been a believer of a story. I tell stories all the time, whether it's in the real world or online like this. Our society has moved by that.

If you're interested by stories that move us, read Sapiens!

One of the stories that I've told was from the launch of Poster.

It's been launched multiple times this year, and Twitter has been my go-to place to tell the world about that.

Here comes my frustration.. 😤
