I have no interest in your blockchain nonsense. Has an unexpected item in the bagging area.

Everybody loves it when gardeners graft fruit trees onto different root stock, but you make one owl bear and you're a "mad wizard".

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal.

And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist.

Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

@d_feldman And contribution models vary in similar ways. From “I am doing this and you get what you get ” to a formal co-op to an informal takeover of a vacant lot.

@d_feldman I would start with community gardens. They start with either someone wanting to meet a community need or just being really into it, and scale/adoption/impact ranges from a sign next to a plant that says “please take mint” to feeding a village.

@mollypeonies It would be fine temp-wise to open all the windows, but I’m in peak airport noise land

Good work by @molly0xFFF to expose chart crime in new a16z report.

She shows same chart if you don't monkey with x-axis

I can't make this up.

Rep. George Santos R-NY is charged with unemployment benefits fraud.

The House is slated to vote this week on a bill to help states recover fraudulent COVID unemployment payments.

**Santos is a co-sponsor of that bill.**

If this was my players coming to me with their D&D party, I would tell them to take the game seriously and make new characters.

[Bob Sutton @work_matters]

I suggested to @Kellen_Browning the tendency for leaders of struggling organizations like Lyft to insist that employees work in the office dovetails with the classic "threat-ridigity" hypothesis. Here's his article. I'll unpack the research in this thread. https://t.co/0D69Gn443S

@violanorth Barq’s, 46, upstate NY. But I had no real brand loyalty in root beers and drank a bunch of Barq’s while in college in Minnesota

@PlanetofFinks I had a pomegranate and elk pizza once that was fantastic.

Nine days after Gorsuch was appointed to the Supreme Court, the head of Greenberg Traurig—a major law firm that’s before the Court all the time—bought land he’d been trying to sell for two years. Gorsuch did not report the identity of the purchaser. https://t.co/P4WH4VNnps

"im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob

If I were a rich billionaire I would go out of my way to not create an opportunity for dril to decide I am worthy of scorn and shit posting.

[Chris Gwinn @MNGwinn]

I have no idea how to explain this to people who aren’t on Twitter. It’s like a cross between explaining your weird dream, starting to read Wheel of Time with book 14 and explaining a joke you had to be there for.

[Chris Gwinn @MNGwinn]

Maybe create an endowed chair of bad posts on a tropical island that lacks an internet connection. That seems like a solid option.

[Brian Fallon @brianefallon]

If you want an example of how one side plays to win and the other does not, look at how Durbin refuses to get rid of blue slips - handing Republicans a unilateral veto of Biden’s judicial picks - while Republicans won’t so much as let an ailing Feinstein be replaced temporarily

NEW:

Harlan Crow paid Thomas for property.

The law explicitly requires disclosure of property sales.

Thomas didn't disclose anything.

Here's Thomas' signature on the undisclosed deal.
