If you live in the United States, which my metrics tell me is 65% of you, happy Independence Day! I'm taking the day off, and I hope you can as well. Grill some food, see some family, and watch fireworks.

For everyone else, be prepared for a whole lot of red, white, and blue in your social feeds today.
