SnarkNotes

I read classic and/or popular books and livetweet them. Often snarkily, always on the lookout for dick jokes. Hot takes. Spoilers. You've been warned. (she/her)

@FIFAcom @CONMEBOL @Libertadores Israel is guilty of war crimes and genocide. They should be banned from competition #RedCardIsrael

If @Elonmusk suspends starlink in Sudan millions will die and I’m so serious. Most active warzones are experiencing a telecom blackout, the only way they can receive money is through starlink internet! Please don’t do this to us! World already abandoned us.

While every piece of aid reaching #Gaza matters, the current rate of delivery is nowhere near enough.

For those children who survive the bombs & ground operations, many will die from disease, starvation & dehydration if humanitarian aid continues to be weaponized.

“Is Humber Humbert a tumblr sexy man?” is a horrible thought to have at 5:20am. Or any time.

I don't mean this in, like, a deep or metaphorical way. I mean, like, we ride at dawn.

I've stayed here on my main account the last two months for one reason and one reason only, which is to build toward tomorrow.

Please join me in wishing price-gouging diagnostics corporations a good night of sleep, because they're gonna have a long day tomorrow.

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Good morning, @CepheidNews and @DanaherCorp. Admin, today is going to be difficult. I'm sorry about that. It isn't about you--I'm sure you're lovely. This is about your bosses price-gouging the world's poorest countries through Cepheid's functional monopoly on tuberculosis tests. #peopleoverprofits

. @DanaherCorp makes 8 billion dollars in annual profits. Much of that profit comes from price-gouging the world's poorest countries for life-saving tuberculosis tests. Danaher has done this in the dark for 13 long years.
Today, we shine the light. #PeopleOverProfits

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

We call on Cepheid to drop the price of the GeneXpert test for TB and all other diseases to $5, so many more lives can be saved.

Join us in tweeting @CepheidNews & @DanaherCorp to choose people over profits! 👉https://t.co/H03rPjGYWY

Hey @DanaherCorp: You're already in the news. Great story about Danaher's price gouging and nerdfighteria's refusal to accept it. #PeopleOverProfits

You can find email templates and much more at this nerdfighter-built web site: https://t.co/u5q2vbxSzA

Tag @DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews in tweets, instagram, and facebook posts. Use hashtag #PeopleOverProfits. Make it clear that we are paying attention and won't accept this.

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Why is @CepheidNews intentionally price-gouging the world's poorest people for tuberculosis tests? And what can you do about it? #PeopleOverProfits
It's all in this video: https://t.co/Xf6up5Liru

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Let the people get to the ball, @CepheidNews, so they can get prompt and accurate treatment. I may not understand meme formats, but I understand price gouging. #PeopleOverProfits #timefor5

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

I don't think that Danaher has any idea of the power of nerdfighteria. I just heard from a Norwegian nerdfighter who is petitioning their government to divest the 1% of @DanaherCorp that the national investment bank owns. Wow. And we're just getting started.
(DMs are open btw.)

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model.
Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

Ah. It's alpha. That can be worked with. Hello alpha bits. Keep up the good work

I caught myself referring to gen Z as the kids recently, but they’re grown. Let’s not infantilize a generation like what was done with us millennials.
What are we calling the next batch, anyway? Have they a moniker yet? Let gen Z have a crack at it so they get something rad
