Sad to leave, thrilled Bluesky exists.

"Socialism" is a derogatory term used to describe any governmental program from which you do not personally benefit.

Greatly saddened to see such a wonderful, global platform, that's given so much to the world, so childishly torched. Please join me in leaving.

Driving my Tesla feels like driving a BMW in pre-war Germany.

@edburns You're looking well! I like the ordering of your vests.

Today was the first day I launched 🧵 before Twitter. I've been here a long time, very sad to see it being so childishly destroyed.

[Jonathan Schwartz 🦉 @OpenJonathan]

Worth reading.

Reminder that Twitter (still can't call it X) has no corporate governance.

Most tech co's have policies that forbid employees from owning more than trivial amounts of competitors (or VC funds). If the original sin at OpenAI was failure to disclose competing interests, does Microsoft give Sam a hall pass?

More restaurants should do this.

Given all the activity in Congress today, it seeme like the men are too emotional to lead.

My loftiest aspiration for AI is that we finally get dedup in Google Photos—thus far, a seemingly impossible task.

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

Dear GOP candidates: right now we tax the first $150k of everyone’s earnings which goes to SS. But we don’t tax what people make after that—that’s why a cop and a firefighter pay on every dollar and a hedge fund guy doesn’t. If you fix that it could extend solvency.

"From the river to the sea" is aspirational, just like screaming "White power" is aspirational.

[Jack Altman @jaltma]

Events like the holocaust become possible when the idea that Jews shouldn’t defend themselves against terrorism becomes normalized.

Nobody wants innocent people to be killed. If you’re calling for a ceasefire, ask yourself: why that instead of calling for hamas to surrender? Don’t you remember what they did less than a month ago?

[Jonathan Schwartz 🦉 @OpenJonathan]

Worth watching in entirety. Very well said.

It's almost four weeks since the horrific terrorist attack on #Israel. A lot has happened, the public debate has become heated and confused. Find thoughts from Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck in the video, putting the events in context. 📣With English, Hebrew and Arabic subtitles.
