Elon Musk's Twitter debacle is the perfect example of why every billionaire is a policy failure
No one person should be able to do this much damage through sheer incompetence alone
@ZoeMcLaren I got put on jury, it was super interesting, though it also only lasted about 45 minutes ๐คฃ. Judge through out the case as prosecution didn't meet standard to bring charges ๐คฆ. (or whatever legal jargon is for that).
1/ There's one night I will remember most when thinking about Nancy Pelosi - the night I watched her single handedly save health care for 20 million Americans.
It was at the first Democratic caucus meeting after Scott Brown won the special Senate election in Massachusetts.
@DinosGonatas @the_transit_guy kind of simplistic.Kendall Square is full of tech companies and where most soft engineers I know have offices (truly they all work from home now though)..And my old nonprofit employer moved from Harvard Sq to financial district as it was cheaper about 4 years ago...
@Mssarahmssarah I am sorry what? The nurse and/or admin sent him back to class after vomiting in school? As child of a school nurse I find this honestly unbelievable. They must have evil bosses.
(I am ignoring, for a moment, crazy parent behavior).
@IgorskiCo@komradberni@GergelyOrosz what is the compelling great challenge here? surviving the grind? helping twitter make money? or is there are a really "cool" engineering challenge ? The latter seems only thing that would be exciting to smart people...
@komradberni@GergelyOrosz I think that kind of work culture can make sense for an early stage startup or if you're doing something really important. Fighting climate change or going to Mars are inspiring goals, while cutting costs on a social media app so Musk can pay his interest payments isn't.
@jimmieaquick @BriceCollin we didn't have hall phones, just in room at my university in my day.
However my high school had boarders, and they ONLY had hall phones!! I think they went to dorm parents rooms for really private conversations.
Daughter: 4th-year UVA student. Distraught. In 20-person American Studies class with Devin Chandler. 3:30 today, in fact. "Dad, he's awesome. He always walks into class smiling and cracking jokes." She's talking in present tense.
What class, you ask? "Non-Violence in America."
@yourlittldogtwo@JennsterZz @torygavito Got it, this makes sense to me and what I was asking! I didn't know who you meant (media, party, pop culture, etc).
No doubt you are correct.
