HFT: adding liquidity to the twittersphere since 2014

A truly beautiful story. Warning: it may make you cry.

It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish. But it is also Christmas. So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter. I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.

.@facebook’s political ad policy only ensures a race to the bottom where truth is no longer a concept and the only winner is Facebook. This should be an issue for people of all political stripes. It’s not hard to imagine this swinging the other way. metro.co.uk/2019/12/10/inv…

Was it actually funny or did you just get the references?

Police shielding themselves behind cars so they can open fire, with people in those cars, is the epitome of American policing today.

I need everyone to pay attention to what @Uber CEO @dkhos is saying here. Not only is he running cover for the Saudi government by saying the pre-planned murder of a @washingtonpost writer was a "mistake", he compares the murder of a human being to Uber making a tech glitch.

Uber CEO on Saudi Arabia's killing of Jamal Khashoggi: "It's a serious mistake. We've made mistakes too, right, with self-driving ... So I think that people make mistakes. It doesn't mean that they can never be forgiven"



No words.

1/ On Halloween, my family saw NYPD converge on a group of black teenagers in Brooklyn. My wife and our 6-year-old daughter saw an unmarked NYPD car going against traffic *hit one of the boys.* I asked the police about it. They say it didn’t happen.

Fun fact: when companies ask you to donate money to some charity, they are subsidizing their own tax breaks with your money. Corporations get tax deductions if they donate enough to charity, so why bother donating their own money when they can just donate yours instead?

I fucking hate grocery store check out screens asking me if I want to donate $20 to end child hunger or whatever. You’re a $10 billion corporation. I’m using a coupon to get 50 cents off a bag of potatos. Why don’t YOU donate $20 to end child hunger

While Bezos swims in money, don't forget: at one Amazon warehouse in Pennsylvania, temperatures sometimes soared to over 100 as workers raced all day to pick goods from the shelves. So many workers fainted or grew dehydrated that Amazon had paramedics parked in ambulances nearby

Jeff Bezos's new Washington, DC home, two adjacent mansions purchased for $23 million, will have 25 bathrooms, 287 fire alarm sprinklers and 1,006 light fixtures. @washingtonian:

People have made this point before but it can't be underscored enough that this is in fact the argument Sideshow Bob made in The Simpsons: "Attempted murder. Now honestly what is that? Can you win a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?"

This is monstrous. Brown was a key prosecution witness in the Amber Guyger trial, and he was Botham Jean's neighbor. At the very least, two innocent black men who lived next to each other are now dead--one murdered in his home, and one murdered just outside his home.

Joshua Brown was shot in his mouth & chest. He was exiting his car at his apt when he was ambushed & shot at close range. His mother asked my office to help find out who murdered her son. She suspects foul play. He had no known enemies. He worked for a living. We need answers.
