I’m so proud of my wife, Lisa Davis, for being nominated as a Woman of Impact in the Go Red for Women American Heart Association campaign.

Will you join us? Every donation—whether $25 or $2500—makes a difference

@mattocko Now that we know Bob Lee was killed by his acquaintance Nima Momeni, will you retract your statements about SF officials having blood on their hands? Isn't it only Momeni who (literally) had blood on their hands?

@Gartenberg Apple may not have a hit, especially at what is rumored to be a very high price point. And the Hololens and Magic Leap are certainly failures. But you are too dismissive of the Quest 2, with over 10 million units sold.

@violetblue @nostarch "According to reports Apple is now beefing up its own on-platform ad tools, which have resulted in billions of dollars of revenue thanks to their privileged position right on the Apple App Store. And which get privileged access to Apple users’ data that no other ad networks get."

[Fred Davis @freddavis]

@violetblue @nostarch Apple is still collecting data on users... for their own use. This isn't about privacy as much as it is about creating more of a monopoly for Apple's own targeted ad business by locking other companies out.

@KTVU Please stop showing people getting injected. It's traumatizing for many people. My wife sometimes passes out when she gets a shot and has been so traumatized that she will no longer watch KTVU news. Don't you care about the wellbeing and mental health of your viewers?
