@PLAUDAI the desktop app is great! Now, can we get an iPad app this year?

@theallinpod You guys know Virginia already does an annual tax on personal property? We pay an annual tax for the right to own a vehicle based on its value.

@sircalebhammer does this mean I’m bi?

@PLAUDAI kind of disappointing you can’t change the account that is assorted with my subscription. I was looking forward to using the product, but now I have to return it.

What a great chance to pay off some debt. @DOGE

[Michael Damkot @mdamkot]

@DOGE maybe we could use some of this potential windfall to pay down some debt, instead of buying new stuff….. if this is true

hey @ChipotleTweets having your bot give me a free entrée' with a time limit on it after I paid for Delivery etc. doesn't even cover half the cost of the order being wrong and something I can't eat. Pretty crappy customer service. You should at least offer me a refund

God on ya @Clear but if the line is three times as long what value are you providing?

Given that the Gemini AI will be at the heart of every Google product and YouTube, this is extremely alarming!

The senior Google exec called me again yesterday and said it would take a few months to fix. Previously, he thought it would be faster.

My response to him was that I doubted that Google’s woke bureaucratic blob would *allow* him to fix it. Unless those who caused this are exited from Google, nothing will change, except to make the bias less obvious and more pernicious.

Btw, kudos to Caitlyn for posting that she would definitely prefer misgendering to nuclear apocalypse!

This is a significant event, and a clear example of doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do

Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is now tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a former professor.

Gottesman, whose late husband was an early investor with Warren Buffett, has made it a condition of the gift that the college NOT change its name—an unusual requirement in a world where much smaller gifts often come with the requirement that the colleges be named after the donor.

Most students at the Einstein College of Medicine graduate with $200,000 in debt; they will now be free of that burden.

@WinnieSchola @zerochills So…. DoorDash can’t make criminal law. That’s up to the legislature. DoorDash can have a policy that says don’t give booze to people you suspect are intoxicated, but they can’t hold anyone criminally liable for anything.

There is a US corporation that has a $50B balance sheet, generates a 10% ROIC (~$5B of income per year) but has also convinced the US Government that:

a) it shouldn’t pay taxes and should be treated as a non profit

b) despite making billions more than necessary to cover costs, only spends the government mandated non-profit minimum of what it makes every year, creating an artificial $1.5B deficit

c) then asks the US government for help and gets $1.5B of taxpayer dollars every year to cover the gap that they could cover by themselves but chooses not to

d) while getting government funding, has been accused and found guilty by tue Supreme Court of systemic racial discrimination towards minority groups

This corporation is called the Harvard Corporation.

Always assume there’s no where for your bags on an @united flight. No one in the seats in front of me or next to me, still no overhead room.

Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada. Shameful.

A rabbi on a New York subway gave his shoes to a barefoot homeless man who he saw on the train. Let’s start making this content go viral too please?
