i was laid off from @CNN today (and i'm not the only one). i'm devastated; i loved my job. i was CNN's only AI reporter, and the *last remaining* CNN Digital reporter in the San Francisco Bay Area. i'm taking a beat to breathe, but i'll be looking for a new reporting job ASAP.
Some behind the scenes fun while wrangling the green-bellied huntsman for one of @gotlegsmacro's videos. I am still amazed how relaxed this species is. Despite its sheer massiveness, it has no interest in running, jumping, or biting. To me they behave just like puppies.
@NielsPalmers Mixed feelings on this.
It's a global tragedy that bad people have littered this much.👎
But surprisingly, many species (some rare) have thrived👍 in The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, so cleaning it up necessitates killing all these thriving creatures.👎

These windows are actually transparent solar panels!⚡️
They have a solar coating that can be added if standard windows are being produced and turing them into solar panels. While letting visible light pass through.
A brilliant solution to scale-up the solar capacity worldwide.
BREAKING: We just filed an official plea with the DOJ to prosecute Abbott and DeSantis for violating Section 274(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act which makes it a federal crime to transport undocumented persons across state lines. 🧵
Take a look at this message I received – because of student loan forgiveness, Americans will be able to crawl out from under unsustainable debt and finally start thinking about saving for their first home.

I've heard no GOP political leaders comment on #Climate recently.
So 5 years later, what's status of implementing these plans in any nation?
When it comes to fighting climate change, I won't take no for an answer.
In the coming weeks, I will use the powers I have as president to turn promises into formal, official government actions.
I will do everything in my power to win the clean energy future.
Climate change doesn't care whether you're in a red state or a blue state: Hundred-year droughts are threatening farmlands and water sources.
Wildfires out west have burned and destroyed more land than the size of New Jersey.
Our national security is at stake.
Under no circumstances should a woman be denied emergency medical care because she’s pregnant.
I’ve taken action to ensure this is never the case in the United States.
Gas prices have been dropping for 34 days straight, about 50 cents a gallon. That saves the average driver about $25 a month.
I know those extra dollars and cents mean something. It's breathing room. And we're not done working to get prices even lower.
Imagine working 40 or 50 years. Working hard. Doing everything right to provide for your family. And your pension goes insolvent through no fault of your own.
I did something about it.
The Butch Lewis Act will keep multiemployer plans solvent for decades to come – until 2051.
