Tweeting about everything I find interesting. Which is too many things.

From the heart of Damascus, the Syrian Women's Political Movement hosts a dialogue session, one month after the fall of the regime. A historic moment filled with joy, optimism, and wonder. May these emotions endure forever.

I gave this TED talk warning Silicon Valley of the profound threat of it posed to democracy nearly 6 years ago. It provoked a lawsuit that caused me years of pain. The UK government did nothing to contain the threat. And here we are.

If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in this country, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers at its factory in Austin, Texas — while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers?

@heather_berlin @hubermanlab @NYMag What I really don’t get, is why he couldn’t just be in a consensual polyamorous relationship if he was after variety. Like, you live in a country where you can do that. But to be fair, the dopamine hit’s probably not as good as the hit you get from lying and cheating.

@critikids @davecraige @lexfridman @hubermanlab @critikids Depends where you choose to draw moral boundaries, I suppose. How bad does the creator of useful / educational content need to be for you / one to stop consuming said content ? Same question comes up for musicians that have been accused of being paedophiles etc.

It's great that the British are discovering how difficult it is to get rid of British rule

We’re about to celebrate Independence Day -- but Freedom is under attack by Republican leaders in states like Florida.

Banning books.
Restricting speech.
Making it harder to vote.
Criminalizing women and doctors.

It’s time to stand up. Don’t let them take your freedom.

@DashDobrofsky @MeidasTouch Honestly all I can think about is how the failure of your education system has done so much damage. Not just in the USA but around the world. 😳 How else can you explain a working class that votes for millionaires that stand against its own interests.

Kristi Noem just said if a 10 year old girl is raped in South Dakota, she must carry her rapist’s baby to term because “every life is precious.” This is the GOP’s official stance. Jamie Smith is the pro-choice Democrat running against Noem this November. Vote for @RepJamieSmith.

@DashDobrofsky They don’t care about the wider economy if it’s not affecting their business.

@MightBeDBCooper @santiagomayer_ They haven’t looked into the social consequences. Great episode on “No stupid questions” podcast with Dubner and Duckworth that shares research on why unwanted babies more likely to grow into adults that commit crimes + crime dropped after abortion legalized.

@Deliveroo_ae This is a non-story. How about some useful stuff like recognizing all the businesses that are using biodegradable or compostable materials in their packaging (like Lime tree café) so your consumers can make more informed choices? Or electrifying bike fleets?

Without immediate, radical systemic change we’re gonna fly right past 2.7F in the next 5 years.

Physics doesn’t give a fuck if we measure the collapse of our civilization in imperial or decimal units.
