Also me: Billionaires, therefore, are not self-made. They are politically, legally and socially made. Yet the vast majority of Americans tends to believe billionaires are just the way things are.
Me: Let’s cut through the haze to state two things plainly about how one person becomes a billionaire. One, it’s with the government’s blessing. Two, it’s with the government’s willingness to look the other way.

Why does a democratic republic founded in opposition to monarchy tolerate billionaires?
They are never self-made.

Erratic behavior? Difficulty speaking in coherent sentences and expressing complete thoughts? Seems symptomatic of something… #DementiaDon

@figma.com lots of cool stuff in the keynote.

But listen: when will we get tables in Figma Design? Seriously. Still such a huge gap.

Warner Bros. Discovery board members:

I will come run your company for half that. And I guarantee I’ll do a better job, or you can fire me with a modest golden parachute of a measly $5 million.

If anybody’s looking for a web designer who knows Figma really well, I know a guy who’s looking, and who I would highly recommend. He’s a great guy. Friendly, easy to work with, collaborative — all around solid team member.

I do not look my age. Neither does Black Dogby.
@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com , I couldn't remember whether Stardust or Neverwhere were the my first book of yours, so I went to look up publication dates, and I did not see this coming. You look so young.

For me, it was seeing Stardust. Loved it, and then ran a bunch of miles while listening to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com read Stardust, Coraline, Neverwhere…cried while mowing my lawn when [spoiler] died in The Graveyard Book.
I love that my feed is filled with people sharing their stories about how they discovered @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com . For me, I was brainstorming a DND campaign idea and one of my players said "That sounds a lot like American Gods" and he gave me his copy to read.
