I'll just drop this here.

Matt Mullenweg responding to the a11y team reps not being able to log-in:

"We should find some new team reps to replace them, do you have any suggestions?"

@LeonieWatson Congratulations!! 👏🏼

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

Exactly.

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

what gets me is not the fact that @TeamYouTube fails to understand experiments inherently are opt-in (where people can withdraw from the experiment any time for no reason) but also the normalisation of this fundamentally wrong view of experiments

Love to see people standing up for Gus Walz but please: don’t post photos and names of your neurodiverse family members to ‘prove’ your allyship. That’s their experience to share if and when they feel ready. ☹️

[Thomas Zimmer @tzimmer_history]

The idea that those who founded the United States envisioned a super-body composed of unaccountable, all-powerful rulers clad in robes, free to reign entirely outside the structure of institutions that make up the political system, is preposterous. 5/

If you are a Democratic politician who does not support Supreme Court expansion, I ask sincerely: What the fuck are you waiting for

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

@JoeBiden Expand the Supreme Court NOW. Today.

So tired of 6 unelected assholes finding new ways to immiserate swathes of Americans.

@studiotstella Will this be available as a giclée print sometime? I need this on my wall…

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

Very on brand…

Duolingo is holding a special "Ultimate Tag Challenge" event at Aqua City in Odaiba tomorrow. Participants will play tag against a freakishly muscular version of Duolingo's mascot. Anyone who can evade Duo for over 20 seconds will win a prize.

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

A very happy “Expand the Supreme Court” to you all.

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

“Disruption”

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Netflix, Apple TV+ and Peacock will team up to form their own streaming bundle through Comcast.

Will be offered at a “vastly reduced price”

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

@tim_cook Yeah…for me, it’s the sadism, the gleeful closeups of things you love being utterly destroyed. Truly devoid of empathy.

@POTUS

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is the clip I cited on CNN earlier tonight

[All In with Chris Hayes @allinwithchris]

WATCH-- @chrislhayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

@JohnPhamous Interesting idea but not sure whether I’d suggest shaking the error message people are presumably trying to read??

[Karim Merchant @kmerchantdesign]

@Dave_Malouf @joenatoli Yep, feel the same way about Accessibility.

[Julian Lenz @JLenzyy]

@havenpersona If *you* learn guitar from listening to ACDC, that doesn't have a material impact on other guitarists.

If you train an ML model on ACDC, you could replace every single sync, jingle and recording opportunity for every rock guitarist.

There is a real, economic difference
