@jbarnettr Ah, I see, so that feedback loop between competitive and thus high quality tailoring and the signal value of a nice suit can still exist there. Makes sense, thank you!

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@jbarnettr Wait, explain?

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@jbarnettr She’s still on this?

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@jbarnettr We should make Paxlovid and Evusheld widely available.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@jbarnettr Exactly. Yong touches on the fact that prob the biggest factor in deaths is elderly not getting vaxxed/boosted. Also, Yong wants universal healthcare? Well, me too

Most people are surprised that N95/KN95/KF94 can be used more than 8 hrs. Actually the N95 spec requires that these masks maintain >95% after 200mg of loading. How much is 200mg, same as wearing the mask 24/7 in Shanghai for about 200 DAYS! Straps will be the first thing to fail

@_Kirkobain Bad PTO policy.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@schmangee Same reason we ticket pedestrians for jaywalking but have a hard time making design changes to dangerous intersections.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@sethmpk I go out a lot and I’ve always been asked. Places where I’m a regular don’t ask me anymore, of course. One place keeps a physical list of regulars for that purpose.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@profmusgrave Because it doesn’t matter how terrible they are; you don’t shop there any less.

@mulegirl @johnallsopp @nickf @leeloowrites This is the key. The design process has always been adversarial in character. This is what has changed.

@jbarnettr @samthielman That’s actually what I thought @samthielman meant.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@jbarnettr @samthielman I don't think it's being able to afford it. See Russians who love Putin because he makes them feel proud in their identity. Unfortunately I think identity is kind of everything.

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

Anecdotal reports so far of very low turnout in New York City.

Too many Democrats are taking this election for granted. The other side is energized.

We need a Democratic surge between now and 9pm. Find your site and other details here: https://t.co/tKyXTqIblf

@laraisuncool I totally feel this. I don’t want friends just for mutual entertainment — I’ve got that. I want to care for people and have them do the same.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@PavelASamsonov @laraisuncool Growing up as an immigrant, I was definitely taught that friendship was a totally different thing than it actually is in the US. Makes me sad.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@zeynep Sad that in the US we put everything on the individual and can't seem to expend money or effort for things that help the public at large, with few exceptions. Look at how we're handling at-home rapid tests.

[Julia Himmel @julia_himmel]

@PavelASamsonov It’s both!

@dahvnyc The largest back-to-office constituency that I can see seems to be parents who need to get away from their kids.
