In case anyone was wondering, today is not Pi day in Europe, it’s just Tuesday. Happy 14th March, y’all.

Hypothetical: there is a large plane crash, killing 300-400 passengers, every week in the United States alone. But, if everyone were to wear a surgical, N95, or KN95 mask whenever they went into an indoor public space, the crashes would stop within weeks. Would anyone do it?

Hey @MissouriGOP, how is a 7-1 map the “compromise”? 87.5% in a state that went 57% GOP for both POTUS and Gov is shameful. 6-2 (still not representative) is still a red state. Try to win by winning, not by cheating. #Gerrymandering

We’ve requested that our distribution remove our content from @Spotify until the moderation policies disincentivize and remove misinformation. It may take a few days for content to be removed, but we encourage other artists to do the same. #norogan

America was built on the free exchange of radical ideas. We are the world’s oldest (currently) surviving democracy. If this experiment ends because the will of the few silence the voice of the many, we have much more to worry about than “4 more years”.

If you want one issue on which to vote this year, let it be COVID.

In Donald Trump’s America, we have ~23% of the confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide with only 4.2% of the population.

His inaction has destroyed our way of life. He deserves to be fired.

America is special because we get to choose our leaders, but when not everyone gets a say, we all suffer. No one can be truly free when others are oppressed.

It doesn’t normally take 13 years to finish 2 songs. It also doesn’t normally take 2 months to release something on iTunes, but here we are. Enjoy. https://t.co/qwlW14SMR2

Abbott opens Texas too soon, issues mask order too late, denies local leaders authority to contain the virus — causing uncontrolled covid spread, many hospitalized & soon dead because of his negligence — and then blames local officials? Pathetic. Resign.

So let me get this straight:

Social media companies are supposed to now be liable for what their users post, but...other companies are not liable for their employees’ deaths if the companies force said employees back to work when it may not be safe.

Seems decidedly less important or exciting than @SpaceX sending @NASA astronauts to the moon from US soil for the first time in nearly a decade.

Other Zoom participant (in New York): Prepare to be disappointed.
