Brian Chesky's vision for an AI-first world is miles ahead of the Silicon Valley narrative. Haven't seen it this clearly since Steve Jobs.

We've added to our reporting on the shooting of Alex Pretti. This video looks in further detail at bystander video footage - and analyses the Trump administration's description of the events that day. It's produced with my colleagues at BBC Verify. https://t.co/Ib1Pvk7grk

this poor young man is being forced to hide such a beautiful accent to protect his peace, what a crime 😭

this bit from the joe rogan episode with quentin tarantino and roger avary really resonated with me

tarantino shares how he lost sight of his dream in his 20s, and seeing a colleague hitting 30 made him realize his mistake. sharing for anyone who is feeling lost in their 20s:

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.

24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Keep pushing, but expect the cruel and inhumane shit from the fascist authoritarian Trump regime to become even more evil and sadistic. 😳👇

He knows it’s vulgar embarrassingly high‼️

My girlfriend’s (at the time) Mom gave me this book. It was 2012. I was 21 and had dropped out of college. I’d sold my cell phone (lasted ~5 months) to see what life would be like. This was before I’d ever traveled internationally and I was considering driving around the U.S. and just camping at national parks. I was lost. This book changed my life forever.

There are 100s of quotes I could choose from… but maybe the one I remember best, and that taught me that you can just do things, is:

“The law of gravity and gravity itself did not exist before Isaac Newton… and what that means is that that law of gravity exists nowhere except in people's heads! It 's a ghost! Mind has no matter or energy but they can't escape its predominance over everything they do. Logic exists in the mind. numbers exist only in the mind. I don't get upset when scientists say that ghosts exist in the mind… science is only in your mind too… that doesn't make it bad. or ghosts either.

Laws of nature are human inventions, like ghosts. Law of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions, like ghosts.

...we see what we see because these ghosts show it to us, ghosts of Moses and Christ and the Buddha, and Plato, and Descartes, and Rousseau and Jefferson and Lincoln, on and on and on. Isaac Newton is a very good ghost. One of the best. Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of these ghosts from the past.”

The impact of a book always depends on where you’re at in life when you come across it. Maybe it would be boring or less profound now that I’m older, have kids, etc.

Need to read it again…

Rep Neguse talking to the press the way Democrats should talk to the feckless media.

He handled that question spectacularly.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.

Ex-Trump White House Attorney Ty
Cobb: “Trump is waging war on people who offend him… I think it will take at least a generation for 🇺🇸 to regain the freedoms we enjoyed 9 months ago.”

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Sometimes it can be difficult to understand how easy it is for Republicans to convince the public that the federal government is as they love to describe it ‘inefficient and too expensive’

We’ll ponder no more, I have Katie from Money with Katie to help explain, and you might be surprised to know (although I wasn’t) that there is a middle man syphoning off a cut.

This is a whole new level of revisionist history I’m afraid. What next? Take a listen to Aaron Baker, a high school social studies teacher in Oklahoma.

The ONLY reason @Disney is bringing @jimmykimmel back is because the American people stood up, called out the executives by name, Disney's stock plummeted and Disney lost a lot of money.

Get it?
That's the playbook for the next three years of Trump.

YOU must be LOUDER than him.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

If you think @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries are prepared to fight this, you must be one of those absolute fools that believed Merrick Garland had a master plan and Donald Trump was going to jail.

If we don't adapt now, there will not be a country to save.
