Hung out in Elon Musk’s company town. Its playground is always broken. The school is accepting just a fraction of the students it was supposed to bc they didn’t build a big enough well. And you can buy any canned beverage imaginable but can’t recycle them https://t.co/h1USJ7ayg8

Last night David Ellison talked a lot about consolidation but was notably quiet on unifying the nomenclature. Are we going with two Maxes or two Pluses?

Sometimes I wonder what my kids are missing out on when they stay home sick and watch age-appropriate TV of their choosing instead of, like, Ricki Lake

how on earth does Google expect this to go over with schools and parents? People will definitely say "OK fine, then we don't need search" rather than give in

[Rani Molla @ranimolla]
