Finally saw the @Netflix film “Don’t Look Up,” a fictional tale of a Nation distracted by pop-culture and divided on whether to heed dire warnings of scientists.

Everything I know about news-cycles, talk shows, social media, & politics tells me the film was instead a documentary

A comet is on a humanity-ending collision course with Earth. Not sure if we’re gonna do anything about it tbh tho.

Watch #TUDUM’s exclusive clip from Don’t Look Up starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Rob Morgan, and Jonah Hill.

Instagram isn't a car. It's booze—a delightful & depressing social lubricant blending short-term euphoria w/ long-term regret that offers to young consumers a messy cocktail of dopamine, disorientation, and dependency.

Social media is attention alcohol.

California! You’ve got a big choice to make by September 14, and everything is on the line. Your vote could be the difference between protecting our kids or putting them at risk; helping Californians recover or taking us backwards. Vote “no” on the Republican recall.

The Everest analogy accounts for everything we’re seeing right now. Most importantly:

a) the discrepancy in outcomes between vaxx’d and unvaxx’d

b) why Israel (early to vaccinate) is also early with more severe breakthrough issues

c) why the WH is pushing boosters now

Zillow on just how insane the housing market is right now

https://t.co/nJLOdr5g3o

Homes are selling twice as fast as they were the month before the pandemic, and 47% of homes in April were on the market for *less than a week* before going pending

This paragraph from @DKThomp is gold (https://t.co/EH4rYZKxvQ). @TheAtlantic #CDCsays

@cwarzel such a good point. twitter's sometimes like a communal test kitchen where everybody's also moonlighting as a heartless food critic

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

this is truly magnificent

Restaurants, gyms, urban transit authorities, and more are still power-scrubbing their way to a false sense of security even as the evidence piles up that surface transmission of COVID-19 is, at best, extremely rare

Maybe instead of shots per day, it's also worth thinking about TIME: how long it would take to vaccinate the country. Here's a little conversion table for that, assuming you want to vaccinate 80% of the US population including children.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Honestly the idea of Mike Pence being president for 12 hours or something, so that everyone who looks back at the list of U.S. Presidents generations from now is like "WTF happened there?", is another (small) reason to vote on removal *before* Trump leaves office.

Trump Scoreboard:

2 Impeachments

Pentagon leaders installed as part of Trump purge last month blocked DC National Guard from getting riot gear and ammunition as protesters descended on Capitol. https://t.co/zggrUhfRgo

My tenant who rents my guest house told his friends to break into my house. They broke a bunch of shit but thankfully weren't successful in occupying it, and I got out in time. His lease is up on January 20th anyway, so should I let him finish up his lease or kick him out now?

We spend $750 billion annually on "defense" and the center of American government fell in two hours to the duck dynasty and the guy in the chewbacca bikini

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

At this point, I don’t see how the House doesn’t impeach. Take the vote, throw it in Mitch’s lap, and let the Senate Republicans decide that they want to protect the guy who sent a violent mob to their Chamber.
