Thank you @michaelhpage for so clearly describing the intimidation of @OpenAI and their attempt to silence the broad public opposition to their transition.

[page @michaelhpage]

In defense of OAI’s subpoena practice, @jasonkwon claims this is normal litigation stuff, and since Encode entered the Musk case, @_NathanCalvin can’t complain.

As a litigator-turned-OAI-restructuring-critic, I interrogate this claim:🧵

[Daniel Adamson @danielsilas]

Some of the most measured voices I’m hearing on here, the ones who seem most serious about ending this agony, seem to come from Israelis whose loved ones have just been murdered or abducted by Hamas.

Some examples… 🧵 ⬇️

ditto!

Beyond thrilled to see the news that ⁦@ianbassin⁩ just received a genius grant. Ian is as dogged as he is innovative. Well done my friend. https://t.co/YseqHOotTv

I love everything @shaghdoosti ever says

We need to cut the pentagon budget - read my piece in the hill about why: https://t.co/6uxhzftvCG

[Emma Ruby-Sachs @EmmaRubySachs]

Brilliant decision!

[Angela Ferrell-Zabala (she/her) @FerrellZabala]

I'm so happy to take on this role at @MomsDemand. Grassroots volunteers & gun violence survivors who do the hard work - day in and day out - are the backbone of this movement and, together, I know we can build a future free from gun violence. @Everytown

[Emma Ruby-Sachs @EmmaRubySachs]

This is my person! So lucky to love you @FerrellZabala

[Angela Ferrell-Zabala (she/her) @FerrellZabala]

While the gun lobby is creating a culture of fear and armed paranoia, @MomsDemand volunteers, @StudentsDemand leaders and members of the @Everytown Survivor Network, and others are fighting back. I'm honored to stand alongside them! https://t.co/NNfkXmzruo @Essence #ESSENCE

@Gerald_Chan_law Yay! Dad would be proud!

"I don't wanna say that studios treat male and female directors differently, but James Cameron was given a budget of 350 million dollars (for Avatar) and Sarah Polley had to film Women Talking in a barn."

Agreed - still can't believe there is no Oscar for casting! It's such an art and integral to the success of the movie @mrsfipp

[@realSarahPolley (she/her) @realsarahpolley]

1) In praise of casting directors: So thrilled to see John Buchan and Jason Knight recognized. I grew up in a casting office where my mother toiled away, mostly unrecognized, as she came up with great ideas for films and imaginative ways of supporting actors.

How to do a media interview while being carried away by police for protest. 10/10, no notes.

@TimeOutChicago Stargaze.... gosh I miss that place.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion - they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights.

Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change

[Emma Ruby-Sachs @EmmaRubySachs]

@nejatian Wait until they turn 5.... :(

What the fuck was this? Why y’all just couldn’t sing We Don’t Talk About Bruno the correct way? #Oscars

That's what happens when you let Chris rock on your awards show....

Only my fellow Canadians can brilliantly compose such nerdy, earnest, snark.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The Canadian mission dissects the Russian government's shameless effort to feign concern for humanitarian principles in Ukraine as its forces flout international humanitarian law there. Such brazen propaganda doesn't work so well when (outside Russia) rebuttal is allowed.
