Money has no intrinsic value. Sam Bankman-Fried, Elizabeth Holmes and Bernie Madoff were extremely capable storytellers, unfortunately. What would it mean for human beings to live in a world where most of the stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by a non-human, alien intelligence – which knows how to exploit our weaknesses, biases and addictions with super-human efficiency? And also knows how to form deep, intimate relationships with human beings?

If Putin attacks, the response must be instant, united, & overwhelming. He is counting on dragged out debate leading to the world treating it like a fait accompli, like Crimea. It's what I called "doing nothing until you can claim there's nothing you can do."
Soviet humor on Nazi forces massing on the Czechoslovakian border in 1938:
"Why are there so many troops?"
"In case of a provocation."
"What if there's no provocation?"
"How could there not be with so many troops?!"
this has been bothering me for a bit. i love apple products but phasing out the USB port/head when they’ve managed to get the whole world to accommodate — airplanes, hotels, devices etc. it feels particularly ungenerous. (i know they’ve always done versions of this… but)
This is absolutely the right move by @POTUS.
Private prisons have built a billion dollar industry off of putting people in cages. That’s why I’m proud NYC became the first city in our country to completely divest our investments from private prisons.
Ad agencies and PR agencies are renting themselves to the fossil fuel industry, supplying the creative juice necessary to wreck the planet. Please--do something different with your talents!
The pandemic has led to the discovery of new hobbies. For @vladduthiersCBS, it's the art of mixology.
