Over the last few months, I’ve been advising @bookprotectors: a new app for ordering an on-demand security detail. Or more simply: Uber with guns.
Today, they’re debuting in Los Angeles and NYC at No. 3 on the App Store.
If you have a hot date this weekend, pick her up in a Protector.
I really need @lyft and @Uber to have an option to choose NO Teslas!! because I am going to vomit. The weird lurching motion of Teslas makes me so carsick
I can’t tell if Elon naming his government agency DOGE is a clever wink to medieval Venice’s doges and his deranged oligarchical ambitions, or if it’s just a coincidence https://t.co/AauEkIlQGn
What will Elon tweet if one of his many kids gets cancer that there’s no cure for no matter how rich you are all because he killed the bill that would have funded pediatric cancer research
@whatnextpdx@badlin@loganb@loganforseattle I was terrified of drugs due to my mom’s drug abuse so coffee was my only vice. My little sister was not so lucky. This report compiles interesting data about how many people become homeless after a loved one dies, and how many people die of homelessness shortly after eviction
@whatnextpdx@badlin@loganb@loganforseattle I don’t know how old you are, but homelessness on this scale was not normal in the 80s. Policies have led to our economy being as bad as the economic disparity of France just before the revolution. So is it the “peasant” population or the wealthy classes destroying urban cores?
So many people I was homeless with as a teenager are now famous musicians and performers. It’s like the movie FAME except under a bridge with a chorus of rats
Laugh-crying with a friend about how being a journalist diagnosed with agoraphobia is hilarious because 85% of my job as a journalist requires meeting new people and going new places. I’m literally the Mr. Bean of journalism and relentlessly subject myself to exposure therapy
All eyes are on Bend, Oregon, where a mysterious vandal (or group of vandals) has been sticking large, plastic googly eyes on public art sculptures around the city. https://t.co/K21Q2rotrp
