🧵My best friend (Black woman) & I were pregnant at the same time 18 yrs ago. We both had preeclampsia, hers undiagnosed as her symptoms were written off. I was put on bed rest & hospitalized. She was told to relax. A week after she gave birth, the day my son was born, she died.

My friend’s mother caught COVID flying from LA to Europe on Friday (flying maskless). She’s hospitalized today.

Under 50. No health conditions except for a nut allergy. Previously vaccinated and 1 previous infection.

JN.1 seems to have an exceptionally fast incubation time

We recently learned 34% more working Americans ages 35-44 died than expected in the last quarter of 2022, & the CDC recently announced they will no longer be reporting Covid-related excess deaths. https://t.co/JVEvbRQO9k

Canada’s polite but deadly racism and xenophobia laid bare for all to see. 42% of ppl explicitly state there are too many non-white immigrants in Canada. Yes, for #CPC voters it’s 71% but looks like the rest of Canadians are not doing much better. #cdnpoli

Interviewer: Tell me about a time when you had to solve a difficult problem

Me: I had a bug in my code and couldn't find any helpful answers on stackoverflow. I persevered and eventually found the solution from a link on the second page of Google search

@McKelvie Honestly emotional about this ending

[Chambraigne Socialist @bombsfall]

At the airport, which is technically not a place. It's like the Nexus from Demon's Souls.

@morgantaschuk Big mood

[K @daedalouse]

group_by is very important to learn

[K @daedalouse]

Headphone jack not working due to software updates is such a modern technology mood

Like if the cable is broken I get it

But this

This is just too predictable

(I've been under the impression I had a physical issue for a few months, go figure)

(Dunno why I'm tweeting abt it)

After the 2016 US election, I wrote a piece called "This Is How Facebook Is Radicalizing You" https://t.co/xpTdafszVj

Tonight I wrote a sequel.

Last point: These algorithmic elections will be nothing compared to the A.I. elections just around the corner.

2) The misinformation, abuse, and radicalization created by these companies seems to affect poorer people and countries more heavily.

These companies replace local community networks, local media, local political networks and create easily exploitable, unmoderated news ones.

[Ryan Broderick @broderick]

1) A handful of American companies, Facebook and Google more than any other, have altered the fundamental nature of almost every major democracy on Earth.

In most of these elections, far-right populism has made huge strides.

this “caravan” story is being propagandized to not only enable fresh white nationalist policy but also to trigger a lot of violence against nonwhite people in the US. hoping everyone remains safe as possible, please protect yourselves from these terrified hateful dorks...

Terrible news. Keiichiro Kimura (木村圭市郎) has passed. A legendary animator which his influence in the industry can still be felt. One of his most iconic works was solo animating Tiger Mask's opening.
