.@elonmusk Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalized and at-risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community. They are real people with real feelings. Furthermore, Dr Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives.

@_dearabby Climate change, or everything else?

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

I don't understand people who don't wear their mask to the gym. Like, you care about your health, but not quite that much?

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

From a technology perspective, Wednesday's breach of the Capitol building may be the largest cybersecurity incident in US history as rioters gained physical access to some really important computers.

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

@mikeswriting I'm not trying to argue wether lockdowns are effective or not, just that comparing total deaths isn't a good way to assess if they are.

There may also be a weird correlation between restrictions and deaths since states may increase restrictions when deaths are high.

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

@mikeswriting Would be interesting to compare deaths per 100,000 people in these states, but there are probably lots of other factors this still wouldn't address (average age, population density, etc).

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

@mikeswriting Might be oversimplifying a bit here. States with higher populations are going to have higher total death counts, even with the strictest restrictions. Should be no surprise that a state with 40M people has higher total deaths than a state with 1M.

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

A lot of good points made in the last debate, but Biden's small windows and Trump's knowledge of wind are definitely the most compelling ones.

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

It was an important point to make. The class had no curve, no extra credit. It was a difficult class and yet he became a favorite professor for many of us. I hope those Toyota engineers had a professor like him. (3/3)

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

A short rant - yesterday my new car wouldn't start. Toyota said a software issue had drained the battery. Dead battery isn't a huge deal, but software in that car can turn the steering wheel, accelerate, and slam the brakes. Could quickly become a much bigger deal... (1/3)

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

When I was studying computer engineering I had a professor who, on the first day, passed around a body bag and made everyone put a hand on it. He said many of us would go on to work at places like Toyota or Boeing where our software mistakes could put people in those bags. (2/3)

About to pack this mailbox with 100 handwritten letters encouraging Iowans to vote. @votefwd made it easy volunteer some free time #TheBigSend

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

@mikeswriting Bold title 😂 but this was a good read! We definitely want to have confidence in the election results, but also make it as safe as we can for everyone. Hopefully there is some middle ground option.

@mikeswriting Send me a link when this comes out!

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

Glad to see more folks on both sides of the aisle supporting mask wearing. Public health should not be a partisan issue.

[U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell @SenMcConnell]

We must have no stigma, none, about wearing masks when we leave our homes and come near other people. Wearing simple face coverings is not about protecting ourselves, it is about protecting everyone we encounter.

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

I wish we had a president that didn't tweet baseless conspiracy theories

[The Associated Press @AP]

President Trump advanced an unfounded conspiracy theory about a 75-year-old protester in Buffalo, New York, who was pushed down by police officers, tweeting without evidence that the confrontation may have been a “set up." https://t.co/Vd20P9cOK5

[Ryan Gallus @RyanGallus]

@mikeswriting I'm always amazed at how reasonable people are when we cut out the left/right rhetoric and just have conversations on the issues. Most people just want to make the country better and differ on the best way to make that happen.

@dinkfloyd Are you telling me a chicken fried this rice?
