Before I begin a chapter here is a 🧵 about the job that changed my life and career forever:
My life began with the deck stacked against me and I was on my own by the age of 15. I learned a few skills along the way and those skills caught the eye of a tech recruiter in 2017…
With wired headies + sky tee the elder millennial energy is off the charts in the header pic here. Tho it was a missed opp for an “everything is embarrassing” headline…
(NB: i do wish the country was doing better than the bulwark but such is life)

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam on Israel: "I swear to god there's some people out there just ready to kill and go across borders and take over land that doesn't belong to them, and they should get the fuck out. We don't want to give them our taxes to drop bombs on children. No more!"
I think we can just be blunt about this and acknowledge that Trump had to beg Pakistan *like a dog* to help him out of his jam. I take no pleasure in reporting this humiliating news about our president.
So initially we wanted complete surrender in Iran and freedom for its people. Now we are looking into a Trump/Khamenei Joint Venture LLC with a toll booth that takes Melania coin on the Strait of Hormuz.
Why is ANYONE so polite to this soulless, blood-drinking plastic-faced fucking ghoul? Tell her to her badly remodeled fucking face in no uncertain curse words what an evil douchebag she is and that we all know she's a lying bitch like her bloated orange boss.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
