@SpiritAirlines @BerninginCali @SpiritAirlines changed my flight schedule (added a stop, taking an extra 2 hours). That doesn't work for me; I just want a full refund instead, without waiting 2+ hours on the chat window

Very excited that my colleague @SameerSManek will be presenting some of our team's work on forecasting at Lyft at the 41st International Symposium on Forecasting. This project he's discussing has been 2+ years in the making! #ISFConf2021 @IIForecasters

New project! We built an A.I. bot that mercilessly judges your taste in music on Spotify. See how your data stacks up against millions of indicators of objectively good music, including Pitchfork reviews and record store recommendations https://t.co/YPtUjKUNE6

@mattyglesias I think your plan is working — Detroit’s population is already almost 300k higher than when you wrote your book!

Could there also be an option to auto-delete partially played episodes? Or even set a max total # of episodes per podcast? E.g., I have lots of partially played daily news episodes that I need to periodically go back and delete. Btw, awesome app!

This seems like kind of a big deal, right? https://t.co/GS9EZq0TBo via @BrookingsInst

Why does leadershop at the CDC provide no explanation?

Why did they refer questions about the change to HHS?

Are they now just puppets?

@seanjtaylor Weird -- on Saturday I'd noticed a pretty clear daily cycle near me (it clears up each afternoon). It's almost as though there are microclimates in the bay area

1/Trump has failed at many things. But when it comes to the central goal of his presidency -- limiting nonwhite immigration to the U.S. -- he has succeeded wildly.

And our nation will be far worse off for it.

Why did CVS charge almost $200 for a $6 bottle of pills? Bloomberg crunched the numbers on a secret drug pricing system with billions at stake https://t.co/QhaCi5DoQP

Always a little disappointing how incremental progress really is relative to predictions. ie, where are flying cars? http://t.co/tNxDlyEHbx
