A pro-Iran war, pro-regime change candidate funded by billionaires is running against me.

I have had guts to be anti-war, anti-Epstein class, pro-working class. I need your support.

Hamzah: You guys killed children in Lebanon, is that okay?

IDF Soldier: Yeah, this is okay because of Hamas.

Hamzah: What about the children, the babies?

IDF Soldiers: The babies is good to kill.

Hamzah: Really, in Lebanon?

IDF Soldier: Yes, in Lebanon, in Gaza, in Iran

Hamzah: Have you ever killed any Palestinian children?

IDF Soldier: I killed

Hamzah: How many?

IDF Soldiers: I don't know.

Hamzah: You don't keep track?

IDF Soldier: No, but I killed.

Ok fine, I won’t use a machine gun to put together this dining table.

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump.

Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

The perfect analogy‼️

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Israelis no longer receiving proper warnings of Iranian strikes.

Iran has wiped out the entire US THAAD and Patriot radar system in the Gulf using $50k drones. It will cost billions and take a decade to replace.

I pieced together all the satellite photos of the strikes & bases.

Most people don’t understand the “Move fast and break things” ethos. The point is not to break things.

The point is that nothing is more impactful than how quickly an organization learns. And that learning requires making mistakes.

So you will “break things” either way and what matters is how quickly you learn, which also means you fix things you break more quickly.

@nateberkopec It’s such a pleasure to use.

...session. Depending on the number of people allowed to join a shareplay session at one time, plus the ability to crossfade tracks which I believe is coming in ios 17, the setup would be somewhat close to a radio station.

[Asad Akbar @asad]

https://t.co/npdWlymBpi I think Apple just created a way for someone to launch live pseudo radio stations. Imagine if someone shares their qr code on their social, a bunch of people join, and the originator can queue up a bunch of tracks for a live listening...

@lyutiger @Lionacefame @rowancheung What was plumbing school like? And what does that 10 years allow you to do that you couldn’t after 4 years at the school?

I’ve been saying this for a while. Deposit in the bank isn’t a loan to the bank. I just want you to keep it safe for me and make it easy to use. Charge me what it takes to make that work. But giving depositors money back can’t be a “maybe”.

@Jason New startup idea: bank that doesn’t invest and instead just charges a fee to hold the money. 100% reserves. No more fractional reserves.

@emoleechen @lyft Seems like Lyft/Uber need to offer a way to request a driver that wears a mask.

@schneems ✋, and thank you for all your work in the ruby community.

[Asad Akbar @asad]

Vim is going to suck on the new #apple #MacBookPro w/out escape button. Didn't any apple dev's complain? Isn't the pro 4 creators?
