Amazing, amazing, amazing-- Mr. Tynes is my younger son Zain's physical education teacher at Horace Mann Elementary, and I cannot imagine who else could be as deserving of this honor. Congratulations, Mr Tynes!
Today’s @IBEW103 & @necaboston#HeroAmongUs is a MA Special Olympics Hall of Fame inductee. David Tynes led his basketball team to a bronze medal at the National Games and has spent 40 years coaching and supporting athletes.
This is nauseating, and I wish I knew what to do about it.
The most powerful marketing is data-driven, micro-targeted, and knows exactly how to tap into people's hot-button emotions, and my fear is that this PAC's work is an example of this.
“It is the grossest, most cynical ploy in an election cycle that’s rotten with cynical ploys,” says @chrislhayes on the Elon Musk pro-Trump PAC’s microtargeting of Michigan voters.

Best new vocab word coming out of today's #RadDay24 panel on "The Long Arc of Equality and Justice in America": gerontocracy (as in, "we are living in a...").
@kumailn I think you both should watch LAGAAN together. I'm not a Bollywood person OR a cricket person, but this movie had me enraptured for almost 4 hours.
@taffyakner Also also, THANK YOU for writing a perspective of Taylor Swift that has zero references to her heterosexual romantic life. I think your thesis is that love stories are the scaffolding for her storytelling, not the substance itself, and honestly, it kinda blew my mind.
@taffyakner (But also, I feel like if she were called to do so, she could very easily become a cult leader or prophet of a new world religion, and that is a little bit awe-inspiring/terrifying.)
@KianSadeghi5@alexisohanian@Nucleusgenomics Thanks for the response! Breakthrough tech always rests on the shoulders of precursors (e.g., Friendster before FB, Xerox Parc before PCs), but often something in the business environment changes to make it the right time for the breakthrough. I am wondering what THAT is for WGS.
@alexisohanian@Nucleusgenomics@KianSadeghi5 These consumer WGS companies have been around for a while now (see: Veritas, Nebula, probably others) but I had never been tempted to do one because I don't know that the amount of insight is commensurate with the amount of data generated. What is different now vs in 2016?
@abbybroyles Hi, I am a stranger who lives 20 states away, but I started following you during your Senate run bc I was inspired by your desire to change things for the better. I am so glad you are taking this time to focus on yourself. Please take care and be well.
@LumenMetabolism Hi! I just bought your device and am having trouble syncing with my app. The device appears to be fully charged (green light), but app keeps telling me that device needs to be charged while connecting. Google/your support docs are not helping -- what can I do?
@MSchlueterMoore Are you familiar with Madhavi Vemireddy/Jeff Jacques and the work they are doing with CareTribe? They former managed care executives and caregivers themselves building a new business to support family caregivers: https://t.co/T0f1U3whlx
6/ If the total hospitalizations over the next 40 days in NYC are kept to under 10,000 we should consider ourselves fortunate.
I am hopeful 🙏
(During the March-April 2020 COVID disaster in NYC there were probably over 100,000 hospitalized patients)
I unpacked this newborn photo of Zain yesterday, and when I went to straighten the picture, out popped two precious little crocheted baby socks that I HAD MADE WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS. @ Newtonville https://t.co/dk9XSHvnbV
@asmamk@HumaAbedin@nprpolitics I'm reading her memoir on the plane RIGHT NOW!
Perhaps it's the altitude hitting me, but I'm getting a misty-eyed at the prospect of this meeting of two brown American Muslim power women. I'm 43; I couldn't have imagined this happening as a kid, but I'm sure glad to see it now!
The benefits market is SO hard to break into. There are a million and one "point solutions," and entrenched players to work with or around. And the sales cycles suck!
It's why I decided to move to digital health D2C. Which is ALSO hard, but at least in very different ways.
