@CalltoActivism I was flying cross country with my 3yo and infant. Ran to the gate, last on board, last row of plane. Got infant in the car seat, I'm in the middle, 3yo in the aisle. Infant and I fall asleep. I wake up and my son is walking the aisle with the attendant taking drink orders!
@jwcarroll I go back and forth. Honestly I am seeing a general decline in my follow graph here, and as an ex twitter employee, believe me the cracks are starting to show in the reliability.

@AGoldmund There's no zip file of his DMs anywhere. Thousands of engineers had 4 years where they could have snagged that and very likely not gotten caught. I'm just amazed.

@AdamRackis Always remember that companies are not working with perfect information when they decide who's laid off. If they're trying to prevent leaks beforehand, they're not able to ask all the managers to stack rank their team. Also, ... (1/x)
@taliaotg At least the Times prominently discusses his role in the sex abuse cover-ups. The Post gets to the very last paragraph in a long obit before mentioning that he personally covered up abuse allegations while running the arch diocese in Munich.
