Riding the internet rollercoaster professionally since 1995. Wonderful wife, wonderful kids, wonderful life.

I love this story because it reminds me that one person can make a difference.

In 1979, Jadav Payeng began planting a tree every day for 37 years

@jakeshieldsajj We need Mel Brooks, stat.

@ZubyMusic @KatMcKinley @joerogan This is how I found you. Providence, sir.

The way @jordanbpeterson has been treated by the media class from day 1 is highly symptomatic of where we are as a culture.

The fact is that a powerful minority want men to be weak, incompetent and feeble. They don't understand that in doing so they are sowing the seeds of...

@stoner420memes I would have in the '80s. If they were comfy enough, prolly good utility for spare key, money, etc., in case you get rolled walking down a dark alley.

@TeePolitics @gmiller @TuckerCarlson @RichardDawkins This has always been my understanding about atheism. I wonder if @RichardDawkins sees it on a "per-god" basis. That would alter my perspective of his rhetoric.

@0xgaut It's a digital pheromone to indicate that we're not trying to come on to you when engaging in a thread. Or it's my wife's tattoo, branded on me to demonstrate ownership.

Either way, what's the downside of the clarity?

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@PstafarianPrice I miss that like I miss losing a raid array and having to restore from tape. Which is to say, nostalgia is quite a thing. God bless you for inducing the best kind of ptsd. :)

@JradRabel "social tyrants". That's about as clear a description as I've seen. I'm co-opting. TY.

@mmm_machiavelli Chat-based tech support. Feed the engine your niche's issues and, voila! It's been clumsy for years but this is the year to rally and get even SMB deets, feed them to the engine, and have a competent bot solve customer issues with great satisfaction.

Phone trees, too. Bye.

@robbystarbuck Your view incentivizes women to hit men. 3 sisters and married to the woman of my dreams for 22 years and I've never hit a woman. They've also never hit me because they know what will happen and they're not stupid. You're doing women a disservice by indicating men won't hit back.

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@mmm_machiavelli Of course. @OpenAI is doing it now. What a tragedy @sama is overseeing. He could change direction but I'm afraid he doesn't want to.

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@sarailola Ummm, vitals includes respirations. Why would he need to be vented if vitals are normal? Something is missing or it's a poorly worded update.

This thread highlights evil only equaled by the tobacco industry.

[Calley Means @calleymeans]

Early in my career, I consulted for Coke to ensure sugar taxes failed and soda was included in food stamp funding.

I say Coke's policies are evil because I saw inside the room.

The first step in playbook was paying the NAACP + other civil rights groups to call opponents racist

@rachelclif Back atcha, kid! Keep killing it!

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@rachelclif Whatever your motivations, I'll provide my insights (such as they are) until they seem wasted or unwanted. There's potential for great good here.

Thanks for letting me take your space and for giving me your time/effort.

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@rachelclif Your questions and follow-ups [at least] masquerade as a psychology experiment. I meant no harm by that observation. It really wouldn't matter though.

Young people relate to young people but, too, young people can give resources to us oldies to help their own. More...

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@rachelclif Hearing your abuse story breaks my heart. One of my brothers was brutally abused and none of us knew it at the time.

His experience shaped how I would approach wife/children. He's a great mentor to me. He's a strong motherfucker and a great mentor. More...

[Tom McDonald @webhistorynft]

@rachelclif The reason I engaged at all with you is because I have an 18yo son and a 21yo daughter. I'm married to the girl of my dreams. But I can't see what young people see and you seem to be trying to figure things out honestly. If my feedback helps you, that helps me. More...
