I love working at Facebook. Yeah, it's a bummer we got called back to the office and I have a 2 hour commute again. But, I'm sorry: you just aren't going to get this close collaboration with your teammates if you're working from home.

6]national security documents that Trump unlawfully possessed can continue. While Trumps' attys do their best to throw legal wrenches into the criminal justice machinery, diligent and hard working DOJ lawyers understand that most of the public blames them for not indicting Trump

My NBC News colleagues and I spent the last month finding the root of America's hottest, dumbest urban legend: Schools are leaving out litterboxes for kids who identify as furries. Despite what Joe Rogan says, it's not true. But its origins are grimmer than you'd ever imagine.

I recently met someone who described themselves as “quiet and easygoing.” In a world that’s increasingly loud and argumentative, this was a breath of fresh air. How do you describe yourself that’s counter to popular culture?

Discovered this in a box of old (1920’s) things that belonged to my great grandparents. Thinking of Maintenance Phase

The more I see DeSantis, the more I am convinced he would never succeed at the national level. He's all asshole, no charm. He's like a animatronic bag of right wing talking points.

Elon Musk Marques Brownlee Yes. It will mean that someone who *is* the leader of a country will be considered just as ‘real’ as someone who is called ‘Musk’s nuts’, and dresses in a police uniform despite being a sexual predator. Great leveling, Elon. We’re all really impressed.

Ten years ago I stopped posting to this account because I was ready to move beyond Twitter. I think we've built something unique over at Micro.blog. An open platform based on blogs, community principles, that peers with Mastodon too. Made by people who love the web.

If there is a silver lining to all of the Twitter mess, it is that very smart people are talking about big software engineering problems in the open. These issues affect ALL teams.

Someone on here lamented that it’s possible, and profitable for EM to make Twitter into AM radio: allow almost anything and have awful, bottom-feeder advertising. Seems quite likely it will go this way.

After Michael Brown was murdered in 2014, I began following the organizers of the protests. Then I followed the people they retweeted. It became my habit to seek out the people *directly* involved in those conversations and pay less attention to media narratives about them.

wish Elon had bought Jira instead

so Elon spent six months in court saying Twitter was riddled with bots, was forced to buy the company, said he was going to create a moderation council for all content decisions, and has thrown all that out of the window for a "vox populi" poll that could be easily gamed

Many of the VCs bragging about how they passed on FTX or saw through SBF have invested in other crypto companies and benefited enormously from an industry that has fleeced retail traders.

Despite having all the riches in the world, the billionaire felt empty inside without any real friends to share his life with. He longed for genuine connections but his wealth attracted only sycophants.
