@syllabus_tweets @broderly @jacobin 🥳2025 has only just begin, but the winner has already arrived for *2025's Most Obtuse Writing* award!
@broderly for his incoherent magazine piece (Rise of the Degrowther Right) which lacks any introduction, thesis, through-line, or summary. 🫨 Such confusing! Many Wows!

[curiousmarc @curiousmarc]

@adamhjk @sogrady imho, your thesis breaks down at "The key component of making money, then, is *scarcity*." Citation required. A quick counter-example: Elasticsearch — Elastic (corp) earned mega-$bux on it for quite a while before they replaced Apache-2.0 with SSPL/ELv2.

@russian_bot_123 @lapublichealth I'm not doubtful. Can you share your calculations that support your statement? LA currently has a 7-day case rate of 4324.

@FlitterOnFraud Your article on JP Morgan this week missed an opportunity to mention the history of it: the USPS Post Office has a **50+ year** history of providing banking services:

IMPORTANT:

These are not my words. There are errors and typos in this viral post on FB/WhatsApp that someone adapted from my tweets without approval.

I share COVID info only on twitter. Just read through my TL here if you’d like accurate info.

Spread the word please. Thx

Without an effective testing and tracing infrastructure in place, "re-opening" is just a synonym for "second wave of the pandemic".

[Rosie Redfield @RosieRedfield]

I'm still seeing a lot of confusion about 'droplets' and 'aerosols', so I made a graphic.

[The Hill @thehill]

In a stunning rebuke of other executives, an Amazon Vice President has resigned, saying in a scathing announcement: "Remaining an Amazon VP would have meant, in effect, signing off on actions I despised. So I resigned." https://t.co/41TmYyjfYr

.@GovAbbott and @GovBillLee I’m calling on you to make no-excuse #VoteByMail options available to the millions of registered voters in your states to protect voters from #coronavirus during upcoming elections. via @representus

@emmarcourt Please update your article -- doctors *should* be using the cheaper/easier/lower-risk/more-available alternative to CT, specifically: Ultrasound. Ultrasound is currently being used to diagnose and monitor COVID-19 patients. Background & refs: https://t.co/5FQsoXa2wq

We are a $21 trillion economy. This is an outrage.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Say it with me:

Nurses are ALWAYS essential.

Farm workers are ALWAYS essential.

Postal workers are ALWAYS essential.

Grocery store workers are ALWAYS essential.

Truckers are ALWAYS essential.

First responders are ALWAYS essential.

Billionaires are not.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

When this pandemic is over the same Republicans in Congress who demanded billions in handouts for corporations will demand billions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to pay for it.

Mark my words.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Media needs to be much much more skeptical of big Presidential “announcements” that drive coverage and then prove to be less than meets the eye. Same the infamous Google website and drive through testing in Wal Mart parking lots (speaking of which do we have that yet?)

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

Sen. McConnell is going away for a long weekend without considering legislation to curb this public health crisis. In the Navy, the captain doesn’t leave the bridge when the ship is under duress. It’s a pretty basic leadership principle.
