Tweetbot has been around for over 10 years, we've always complied with the Twitter API rules.

If there's some existing rule that we need to comply with, we'd be happy to do so, if possible. But we do need to know what it is...

@TwitterDev, you know how to reach us.

@TwitterDev You’re full of shit.

If you work for a space company and all they did today was tweet out an MLK quote but they aren't part of the @PGSFellowship, go change that.

Happy MLK Day.

My answer included a stern reminder that copyright infringement is a felony. Sometimes I miss being a law professor!

“Mom, I have a question about Santa. To get name brand toys, does he engage in copyright infringement or commit felonies? Since the elves are involved, that’s also conspiracy, right?”

@WeHaveMECO Well it’s not meant to be an anti-satellite weapon so it doesn’t technically violate the ban. And it’s definitely not a “direct accent” weapon if it takes 2 weeks to hit its target. 🤣

Corporate America is hiking prices to earn record profits. They're getting away with it because just a handful of corporations dominate each industry. Congress can rein in inflation and get prices down by making it easier for small businesses to compete.

43% of women leave full-time STEM employment after having their 1st child.

A turnover rate this high of highly skilled, college-educated professionals should be of great concern and a top priority for every company in the aerospace industry.

We need better paid parental leave.

[Emily Calandrelli @TheSpaceGal]

Do you work in the aerospace industry?
Do you want companies to offer more competitive parental leave policies?

Please help us do just that by filling out this form here.

It will be used to understand the parental leave landscape in our industry.

I kinda wish we didn't frame reducing emissions (particularly in disadvantaged communities) as the emissions reductions *benefiting* those communities, and frame it instead as *reducing existing harm* to those communities.

It's not a gift, it's the righting of a wrong.
