Today, we launched our newest feature daylist, a playlist that evolves with you throughout the day. What did I learn from mine? Well, for starters, my best days start with early morning hip hop and apparently I manifest tropical vibes as the sun goes down. Who knew? 🤣What’s your daylist looking like? https://t.co/J2rWvNBIZP

I'll be signing the open letter calling for a pause on giant AI experiments: https://t.co/pX2RMgt93H

"A self-interested person never has any incentive to use a filter. A self-interested person has some incentive to sign a pact to make everyone use a filter, but in many cases has a stronger incentive to wait for everyone else to sign such a pact but opt out himself."

I foresee large-scale social unrest in the coming months if people don't get offered a financial life jacket like this which can help them stay afloat @AndrewYang @MittRomney

Dear US voters, don’t blame Dems for the excesses of the overzealous left. Those deplatformings, safe spaces, gender politics & Islamophilia are just silly. Trump is more than silly, he’s a seriously bad man: a liar, a dangerously unstable, bullying denier of scientific facts.
