I made a thing! It won't convince my kids to admire dad now that I'm "a Youtuber," but if you're curious about Erlang's uniquely scalable lightweight processes approach to concurrency/parallelism that shuns shared mutable state, you'll hopefully enjoy it! https://t.co/1MUofUGfMR

Caught us. President Biden is working to make life easier for hardworking families.

[Daniel W. Drezner @dandrezner]

A real-time crisis—like this possible coup in Russia—is exactly the moment when one needs verified accounts to filter out news from bullshit rumors.

This is also exactly the moment to remember that @elonmusk has burned this once-useful information ecosystem to the ground.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

THIS EXPLAINS A LOT: Elon Musk apparently thinks he played no role in alienating his transgender daughter, who took the legal step to no longer be related to him “in any way, shape or form.” Instead, he says her decision was caused by “neo-Marxists” at educational institutions.

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

If school “lunch debt” is a thing, you’re a failed society. We’re a failed society.

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

It appears Elon Musk, the “free speech absolutist,” has shadowbanned an account which shared publicly available data regarding his private jet.

I don’t know what the 🇷🇺 ambassador to 🇰🇿 really said, but the rebuttal he got was certainly most powerful.

Someone on Reddit is using stable diffusion to take selfies throughout time - here they are with the Trojan horse

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Matt Taibbi and Elon Musk rummaged through millions of emails & Slack messages from pre-Musk Twitter & all they found was employees deliberating & consulting w/each other about how to fairly apply & enforce rules. But I get it..

To a rich white man, that seems very oppressive

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.

It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

No wonder my Roger Stone posts seem suppressed. It’s my entire account. 🥵

[Selina Wang @selinawangtv]

A Twitter account was key in exposing China's protests to the world, rapidly uploading videos censored in China. Just one man is behind it: Li, a Chinese painter in Italy. In his 1st on-cam interview, he tells me why he's risking it all to save history from being erased @AC360

[Wanda Sykes @iamwandasykes]

I bet they asked Herschel Walker if he was ready to make his concession speech, and he said, “Yes, two hot dogs please.”

Congratulations @ReverendWarnock
Thank you GA!🙌🏾

When we see the splits between non college educated whites and college educated whites, remember that college is where many are exposed to Black people as social and intellectual peers for the first time.

And remember that GOP is desperate to get rid of affirmative action.

Ukrainians are again sitting through a day of Russian missiles raining down on their cities, but Macron talks about security guarantees for... Russia?! What about security for the innocent people actually under attack?

[PUNS @ThePunnyWorld]

It's inappropriate to make a 'dad joke' if you're not a dad.

It’s a faux pa.

[Nathan Baugh @nathanbaugh27]

Not many 90 second videos change how I view the world.

But Charlie Munger arguing envy drives the world — not greed — certainly did:
