@SciGuySpace Go fever. @nasa Is the loss of this OPPORTUNITY (such that it is... it's limited and EVERYONE knows it) worth the potential loss of life? Why is an engineer on the ground worth less than a dummy in the capsule?

@AmazonHelp Let's be honest. I hit HUGE numbers on my AMZ card. My yearly Prime subscription is less than a % per month spend. I'm not proud of that. Pissing me off on delivery preferences is a stupid design decision.

[Greg Nicholson @gregnicholson]

@amazon You know, I SPEND a LOT of money to you. I deliver ONCE on your consolidated day, and now, it's IMPOSSIBLE for you to believe I want something otherwise. Preferences. They matter. I can change my vendor easier than my delivery date.

[Greg Nicholson @gregnicholson]

@AmazonHelp Yes, but I can't change the DEFAULT, which means that Buy now.. Something YOU LOVE, and I use, probably wrongly, DOESN'T work. And I cancel, and cuss, and grow closer to just saying to hell with your 'service' that I pay money for.

With great power, comes great responsibility. You are not demonstrating responsibility, so you lose your power. Turning off your ability to alert my devices. I WISH that wasn’t needed. You continue to show otherwise, @TBInvestigation

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.

Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks from wherever they live.

The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

The Denver program to send social workers instead of police (STAR) has responded to over 2,200 calls low-level/intox/MH calls.

They have never called for police back-up due to a safety issue.

Never.

Think about that.

This is the kind of thing that if every voter in Tennessee saw it, it might actually cost her her seat in congress. If you want the voters there to know the truth about their senator, please share far and wide.

This month marks two years since the murder of Breonna Taylor. One of the most revealing facts about her case that the media largely ignored: after her death, Louisville gave the cops a budget increase of $750,000 and cut the public library budget by $775,000.

I actually know several, myself included.

1. This will be a thread of companies that sent out earnest Tweets celebrating Black History Month but donated a bunch of money last year to Republican senators who filibustered federal voting rights protections

ICNARC have updated their analysis of COVID patients in critical care in England, Wales and NI. They now show boosted patients as well.
They are shown in green.
Yes, I've put them on the chart.
You have to squint.

This hurts so very much.

There’s a ghost on the corner of 3rd and Broadway

I noticed him the other day, as I made a left turn at the light.

He wasn’t there a week ago.

He must be new.

Nobody I recognize, but then again, his face is blurry and indistinct.

I look at him now, and I drive past. 1/

This is Tinsley. She was in a car accident with her humans last night. She escaped the wreckage, got the attention of police, and led them all the way back to the site of the crash. Her humans are being treated and expected to survive. Tinsley is awarded our very rare… 15/10

@WCSedu Emphasis on timely… an hour is a long time to wonder if your kids are safe.

[Greg Nicholson @gregnicholson]

You can’t control a message @WCSedu when you aren’t part of it. Information will get out, and it would be better if it was timely from the school than panic inducing from the kids.

[Greg Nicholson @gregnicholson]

Hey @WCSedu, I can’t help but notice you have no problem lighting up everyone’s SMS when you want us to read an email. But crickets when the kids are forced to shelter in place.
