The Grammys. The Olympics. The Super Bowl. The message is that the world loves diversity. Don’t let the billionaires tell you otherwise.

A nerdy thing to focus on but in addition to the Bad Bunny performance being incredible both musically and visually, it was the best halftime performance aurally and sonically, in perfectly mixed Atmos surround sound. Really amazing!

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

One of these days, people will look back on these sports betting ads like we do on the ads for patent medicines featuring cocaine.

that stage of society when school children share the bond of having endured the camps together
The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

In 2016, I created two bands to celebrate the music of David Bowie and Prince. I gathered up my friends, who also happen to be the best musicians I know, and talked them all into this crazy idea.

One rule I had when modding a large group of folk involved in digital rights organising was potential new group members had to have public prior history of speaking up or being involved in digital rights work. Folk who appeared outta nowhere and had their friends demand entry for them? Yeah nah

Today’s $1M idea: someone should give away their Nobel Peace Prize to another person, who in turn gives it to another and so on until every person on earth has “received” the award. When everyone is special then no one is.

Brief operational term of art 🧵 to help better define what we're experiencing. What we're experiencing is state terror. I've seen a lot of terms thrown around for what the Trump admin is doing w/ICE, CBP, & other federal law enforcement (LE). The now largely out of use term is state terror. 1/

I’ve been wanting to get dad, a former exec-turned-professor (and a noted model railroader), something fun to enjoy in retirement. Today, it finally clicked: He needs a print subscription to @theonion.com
Order placed. He’s going to love it!

Was telling my buddy in Contra Costa County that I'm down to one Cybertruck a month, and he said he's filthy in them. People shouldn't have to live like that.
My 11-year-old, earlier this week, from the backseat, while driving near Sacramento: Why do so many people in California have Cybertrucks?
My husband: Cybertrucks were designed here, so maybe they're people who helped make them.
11: That's not really something to be proud of.

Andrea Pitzer, who wrote a global history of concentration camps, on why we must call a concentration camp "a concentration camp."
One of the most important things I've ever worked on.

When people are mean to you, remember the universal truth that it comes from their own fears, not from a deficiency in you. So don’t react. Chin up. Wait for the reality of their own internal conflict to take care of it.

Maybe it's just me, but the fact that these "robot fight club" robots have the same size and dexterity as elementary school children makes it feel pretty yucky.
