@mew_128 one of the smartest people I know talking about why technical bandaids like blockchain don't solve fundamental market problems https://t.co/QRPlAtb0ol

I know we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment. #Oscars2022

I geek on details like this and they usually indicate a trend before most people see it.

Retweet if you believe Election Day should be a federal holiday.

For those asking my thoughts on the Facebook whistleblower, @JRubinBlogger's piece summarizes my views (past+present). Can we at least now agree FB can't self regulate on issues affecting broader society, even if we don't all agree on exactly what to do? 1/https://t.co/WydurDkOKm

@Klonick @FrancesHaugen_ This seems like a cool panel but would be really interesting to hear @YaelEisenstat thoughts on it…

So… apparently Texas has passed some asinine anti-abortion law where private citizens can claim a fucking bounty for spying on their neighbours, and someone setup this site to take reports from anyone on which women to persecute

how did I miss that Jordan Ellenberg has a new book out. . . cannot wait to read this

[Jordan Ellenberg @JSEllenberg]

SHAPE, my "unreasonably entertaining" new book about geometry, is a New York Times bestseller and is available now! https://t.co/ivuCUynrcb

That’s like $1500 per Uyghur genocide victim.

Pretty strong revenue to victim of genocide ratio.

The Nazis weren’t anywhere close when they were pulling gold filings from the Jews.

Happy for everyone who finds that exciting instead of horrifying.

68 senators voted to pass the Endless Frontiers Act.

68 SENATORS AGREED ON SOMETHING

68 senators agreed that we need to spend hundreds of billions on tech / R&D to boost national security in global competition with China.

If only there were some VCs investing in the space...

This next set of tweets is not going to touch on what is happening in Israel / Palestine.

It’s going to touch on what is happening in the diaspora.

To those that have been following me, this won’t be new. I have been sounding the alarm on rising antisemitism for the last year.

women's shoes sold at the same price get 55% so men get to keep a full 25% more of the resale value for their shoes. . . why? What possible work is different in listing men's shoes vs women's shoes online? Twitter help me understand this

[McKenna Walsh @mew_128]

I don't know why I was so surprised at the huge pink tax from @therealreal but ladies why is it that men get to keep 80% of their sneakers that sell over $195 but to get that same 80% women have to be selling a $4,995 handbag

@martyrdison Housing... the was the big fail point for the downtown project. All this co-working spaces shared cars and no place for people where they would want to live in walking distance.

[Phillip Atiba Goff @DrPhilGoff]

This means Austin has asked police to be first responders for homelessness. Remember the voters did this when something awful happens.
