Okay: I've been avoiding Twitter because I have response anxiety. I'm sure no one is sitting around going "Why isn't this asshole nobody responding to my response to the ill-considered thing he said about elf-games," but for my own sake I need to address this. (#DnD)

Hi there is a Grimm Fairy tale called The Devil and His Grandmother. I did not know the Devil had a grandmother and I want six seasons and a movie about her Now.

@hexcrawl Racism. It's a deliberate attempt to infect poor people, particularly people of color, with no understanding or care for the consequences.

@sweet_danica I'd say that's primarily pixie with a dash of mermaid.

WE KNOW WHAT TO DO. DO IT NOW.

my idea to get money to people fast:

eliminate the first $500 of withholding for federal income taxes and Social Security payroll taxes for workers in April, May, and June. Would up take-home pay and get $500 in people’s pockets within weeks

the public health and economic DISASTER unfolding right now in the United States is not the fault of the coronavirus ... it is the INACTION and MISTAKES of policymakers

we lived this train wreck a decade ago and policymakers have learned NOTHING

[Sam Adler-Bell @SamAdlerBell]

The government can do (and force companies to do) everything we demand of them. Everything you've been told about the limits to living in a good and just world is a lie designed to protect financial interests.

This should be the takeaway from the next few weeks.

@BungieHelp In conclusion, great job. I'm a lifelong Bungie customer, I've bought everything you've made since Halo 1 except the final Destiny 1 expansion, but that's probably ending after today.

@BungieHelp Can you help me? I bought Shadowkeep for my wife at Gamestop the other week, and it came with a season pass that as far as my wife could tell activated automatically. As a result she only got a few days of season pass. I don't know if I'll even get it at all since

[ICV @CaduceusIV]

@BungieHelp borderline hold your customers in contempt, as show by the fact that there seems to be no direct way to contact you besides your forums, which per your forum users you ignore, and this Twitter account, which you seem to never respond to people with.

Don’t worry, people, plans are in place to protect the wealthy and their assets. Please do not die on a rich person’s private property - it is upsetting to the job creators. If you are unsure of the location of the nearest mass grave, a map will be provided to you.

So a @GOP Rep. gets same day testing when he finds out he was in proximity to the virus, but hundreds upon hundreds of at risk Americans have been waiting weeks and some have died. Okay, got it. Good to know where the rest of us stand on the scales.

We’re losing our minds. Should we feed starving children? Children who are in this situation through no fault of their own? How is this even an acceptable question?

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Public health experts and epidemiologists are basically shouting in unison “CANCEL LARGE GATHERINGS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.”

We should listen.
