Following attacks on two mosques, New Zealand's parliament voted overwhelmingly to ban most semi-automatic weapons.

So far, thousands of guns have been turned in to police as part of a nationwide buyback program.

@etreas I haven't had a PC in a long time, but I remember having to defrag it regularly to remove dead space "between" files.

@everywhereist @lizzo Thank you for this. Needed to be pulled out of the rabbit hole of despair I was going down. Am now listening to @lizzo and dancing around the living room with my pit bull, Yoda.

This. It's hideous that the media is further stigmatizing mental illness by blaming these tragedies on anything other than our nation's lack of gun control.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

People suffer from mental illness in every other country on earth; people play video games in virtually every other country on earth.

The difference is the guns.

I haven't decided who I'm voting for yet, but this is an interesting read on Warren's proposed Small Business Equity Fund that would help entrepreneurs and small business owners from underrepresented communities.

Yikes! 100% of applicants so far are men. Looking for a diverse pool... any ladies interested?

[Kat Karimi @katkarimi]

To an engaging conversation around how to leverage #tech to address the #OpioidCrisis with @nelsonh and Health 2.0 #LosAngeles...

[Kat Karimi @katkarimi]

I finally had some time to reflect after an inspiring and energizing series of events last week. From a meeting of the minds with @BluecanvasTodd, Estelle Reyes, and @wordswithstacy about how to democratize access to #entrepreneurship resources in #LosAngeles...

@EdGrapeNutZimm This is seriously unnerving. @AOC's composure throughout the questioning is admirable.
