@ConEdison hi- thanks, I filed a complaint with DPS and did get a call from someone at ConEd a couple of hours later, so hopefully this will finally get resolved.

@ConEdison my gas meter inspection was done on August 5, yet you're still sending me termination notices for not having done a gas inspection + put a $100 hold on my account. No one picks up the phone, calls back, or answers emails.

My somewhat cynical take on bullies in academia is that they’re a feature, not a bug. I touched on this with an earlier tweet, but the qualities we commonly associate with “top scientist” in academia are extremely present in the kinds of people who bully others.

Inflation Rate
🇪🇺: 10.9%
🇩🇪: 10.9%
🇬🇧: 10.1%
🇮🇹: 9.4%
🇪🇸: 9%
🇮🇪: 8.6%
🇺🇸: 8.2%

No. Inflation is not going up in the U.S. because the working class got a $1,400 check 19 months ago. Multinational corporations are jacking up prices worldwide.

More people have been killed by reckless drivers than gunmen in Times Square!
Do you think @NYCMayor should have declared the area a car-free zone instead of a gun-free one?

Next month I am traveling from NYC to Chicago, the 3rd busiest air route in the country, which takes 19.5 hours via Amtrak on a daily train. This is the same distance as Beijing to Shanghai, which takes only 4.3 hours and leaves every 20 minutes. This country can do better.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: If the punishment for breaking a law is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor.

Racism in Europe is so terrifying. Was chatting to a Nigerian guy living in Germany on the train the other day. He said one day during a storm a tree on his street fell down and blocked the pavement. He decided to pick it up and move it out of the way so people could pass...
