beyond excited to release the gpt-4.1 family today! these models are really our love letter to developers: more of a focus on real world usage and utility, and less on benchmarks (although those turned out pretty great too).

[Erin Kavanaugh @erinkav]

Incredibly proud of Greg + the team! Can’t wait to see what’s next

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Excited to share the talented folks at @MomentRobotics_ are joining @thebotcompany! Welcome Greg Katz, Ben Berkowitz, and Robert Wilson.

@yellowsundays The secret to life is San Francisco 😄 cant wait to see you

[Heather Knight @hknightsf]

My latest: Down on San Francisco? Talk to people who recently moved here despite the so-called (and now over) exodus. It’s a pick-me-up to hear what drew them here and how taken they are with the beauty, creativity, parks and just plain weirdness. #TotalSF https://t.co/Y30GoEZ3g7

Only 18.8% of California’s population in 1978 voted in favor of Prop 13.

Prop 13 shifted tax responsibilities from incumbent property owners to new homebuyers and contributes to California’s high housing costs and increasing homelessness today.

Really informative read about how facial recognition is being used by governments and how you can get involved, @kj_schmidt bringing awareness to an important issue

[KJ Schmidt @kj_schmidt]

Just turned in my last final! It's a guide about surveillance technology that I hope is a helpful resource. It's not fully optimized for mobile (that bugs me so I'll probably fix it later in December 😅) so check it out on a desktop. It lives here: https://t.co/Hco2A4NmPp

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

Pentagon budget is roughly $780B; some argue it’s actually more. That’s hundreds of billions of $ more than military leaders even say they need. If we cut it 20% to make every public school in America a palace of learning, culture & the arts, our future would be far more secure.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Congratulations to my friends, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris — our next President and Vice President of the United States.

With Nov 3 fast-approaching, I talked to some of my favorite people about how they're voting on CA props, why, and why it all matters: https://t.co/K6pjke1Ln8

[Alfred Twu @alfred_twu]

Who's paying for that Prop? California's $502,000,000+ ballot measure election donor list is topped by DaVita and Uber. Realtors, unions, landlords, and business associations are also big on the list.

Today is the last day you can register to vote in your state. Check your own registration, get the word out and get people registered!

[Lil Uzi Hurt 🥺 @lostblackboy]

More ballots will be mailed in this election than ever before, which means -- a lot more contested votes. Perhaps you're nervous that your ballot will be rejected?

I spoke to a poll worker friend and here's a list of the most common ways that people fuck up their ballots. 1/x

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

So far in NC, November 2020 mail ballots cast by Black voters are being rejected at *four times* the rate of those cast by white voters.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

It has been 150 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered in her home. That’s 150 days Breonna Taylor's family and friends have grieved what could have been.

We must keep saying her name and demanding justice because the police who killed her still have not been charged.

[Kristen Clarke @KristenClarkeJD]

Roger Stone. Found guilty by a jury on 7 federal criminal counts. No jail time.

Kalief Browder. Accused of stealing a backpack. Couldn’t post bail. Spent 3 years at Riker’s awaiting trial. Ultimately committed suicide after released.

We have two justice systems in our country.

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Breonna Taylor’s name is no longer trending and the police that murdered her are still free. If you see this please reply/quote/tweet on your own.

ARREST BRETT HANKISON, JONATHAN MATTINGLY & MYLES COSGROVE FOR THE MURDER OF #BREONNATAYLOR.

@ONeill4Newport when will you enact these policies that protect the public and save lives? #8cantwait #BlackLivesMatter

[John Gallagher, Jr. @JohnGallagherJr]

To recap, the president of the second largest police union in New York City publicly declared war on both its mayor and its citizens in the last four months. It’s not making many headlines right now but it seems like a red flag and a pretty big deal to me!

[Victoria Alexander @victoria_phd_]

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

[Sara Nofeliyan @nofeliyan]

I’m sad to the bone today. So, today we can be sad, but tomorrow we figure out what we want our country, our cities, our home to look like. What all the unrest and pain is for
