@doodlestein What I love about it all is that as we progress, we're just increasingly parsing nuance.

They are very close to doing what resembles reasoning. But that's not the same as judgment. And the arguments increasingly mirror how nuance is defined. Next is judgment by whom?

@mweinbach @alexocheema Would phasing out monthly max plans in favor of API usage change your mind about it being purely hobbyist? I can see a world where Mac Studio see a rise in popularity if monthly plans are phased out or get prohibitively expensive.

Meanwhile, in Missouri, State Representative @IanMack03007724 gives one of the most powerful speeches I have ever heard.

Turn on the volume. You want this timeline cleanse.

As everyone remembers Jackie Robinson’s legacy today, don’t forget that if it wasn’t for racism, a hurt ankle and a world war, he may very well have done something that is even more mindblowing.

A thread.

@KrisAbdelmessih Would love to hear / read your take on how these strategies can be used for profit taking.

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.

THREAD 1/While I'm on the subject of Disney funding anti-gay legislators, it is important to point out that they are funding them not because they are anti-gay (they don't actually care that mch about that) but because they are "pro-business."What does it mean to be pro-business?

Well, for one, a bank account, getting a check or any other thing that requires an ID isn't guaranteed by the constitution.

But here's the real reason - A thread:

@KrisAbdelmessih Got it. Don't try to beat the house at house games. Thank you! Very helpful explanation and analogy.

I’ll bite:

Here are my top ten reasons.

10. It protects Section 2 of the VRA, which was recently dismantled when the SCOTUS decided I Brnovich v DNC that Arizona Republicans could essentially outlaw the voter registration tactics of the civil rights movement

Remember, if local authorities in Georgia had their way, no one would have ever been charged for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.

It took weeks of protest before charges were even brought in the case, 74 days after Arbery was shot and killed in February 2020.

@TheSpeculator0 Heuristics for understanding when an option is expensive/cheap and then what informs them. Not looking for your secret sauce, just something more approachable than adv calculus. The challenge for me (layman) is isolating this variable when testing ideas and building mental models

You know what hurts workers more than the cost of milk? The cost of childcare.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

It's always "inflation is up because fast-food workers got a 25-cent raise" and never:

*Stock buybacks and dividends doubled in the last decade to $1.5 trillion a year
*The Fed printed $3 trillion for companies last year
*Median CEO pay rose 1,322% in 40 years to $24.2 million

You have to be almost completely lacking in historical awareness to not grasp that the slave trade is the most consequential event of modern world history, 16th century to now. It established the modern world order. There is no event in US history that wasn’t shaped by slavery.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

We have been taught to understand the US as a democracy that formed from Europeans fleeing persecution and overthrowing their king. The historical reality of the US forming from a series of slave colonies & a govt-sanctioned genocide against the Indigenous is largely suppressed.

Capitalism produces ecological crisis for the same reason it produces inequality: because the fundamental mechanism of capitalist growth is that capital must extract (from nature and labour) more than it gives in return.
