He/him. Cocktails, transportation, and technology for social good. Has two cats and will kill for them. Goes by WIP in circles. A little gamedev, as a treat.

In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

It takes a million local heroes to change the multitrillion-dollar North American development machine. We’re getting closer, but this Member Week, we need your support. bit.ly/3O2yuzF

Dems flipped both the Minnesota and Michigan legislatures. They should join the National Popular Vote Compact, which — when activated — awards electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. Each state that joins brings us closer to making the Electoral College moot.

Twitter engineer: Everything was fine until the microservices were shut down by dickless here. Elon: They caused latency! FTC commissioner: Is this true? Twitter engineer: Yes sir, it’s true. This man has no dick.

NEW: Employees who have criticized Elon Musk in Twitter’s Slack channels were fired overnight over email. “We regret to inform you that your employment is terminated immediately,” they’re being told over email. “Your recent behavior has violated company policy.”

My man Taylor W Anderson has the write up on Carmaggedon, which notably costs THREE RIO GRANDE PLANS. So, spend $500M to transform the state’s transportation network and HEAL the east west divide. Or spend 3X that to make everything worse? #utpol #slc buildingsaltlake.com/udot-unveils-d…

I'm proud to stand with Starbucks workers on strike today across the country. CEO Howard Schultz is illegally union busting and firing workers for organizing. Mr. Schultz, it is time to recognize the stores that unionized and negotiate with workers in good faith. #RedCupRebellion

Elon is such a pathetic man baby and guess this is the breaking point for me. Of course a talentless billionaire could speedrun the death of my favorite website. Free speech and what not. Oh well, bye.

There is a massive asshole on the train berating T-Mobile on the phone. I don't care for corporations, but I sure feel bad for them. So if anyone from TMo is dealing with a shithead from Utah about his data being refreshed, just go ahead and hang up on the fucker.
