OMFG. I don't think I understood Gen Z until this very moment.
FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde. You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something. 1/ Here's just a sampling of the slaughter in the last six days:
@tedcruz @GregAbbott_TX @NRA Disgraceful that you won’t allow guns at the convention. apple.news/AN5gtl9RfRnSzD…
Sadly prophetic. After El Paso, we told Abbott; "Somewhere, you have the courage to save lives. Find it — or body counts and memorials will be your most enduring legacy." Abbott vowed to lead on guns and safety. He didn’t. [Editorial] houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editor… via @houstonchron
Words cannot express our sadness & anger, but evidence can lead us to action. “Counter to public beliefs, the majority of mental health symptoms examined were not related to gun violence..access to firearms was the primary culprit.” pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30711465/ @DrJeffTemple @809Yu
Good morning. May I show you something truly amazing? Look at what @CoriBush admits about the $40b war package she -- and the entire Squad -- just voted for: "a large percentage" goes not to Ukraine but "to private defense contractors," with "increased risks of direct war."
This aged poorly.
This thread is bonkers. @DanPriceSeattle is good people.
Thread on how Amazon treats its workers Context: Amazon full-time warehouse employees make $31,200 a year. Jeff Bezos makes that every 12 seconds. Cost to give warehouse workers 2 weeks paid sick leave + pay bumps so they don't qualify for food stamps = 0.9% of Bezos' fortune
The best thing I've read in a long time and perhaps the most important thing @EpsilonTheory has written (which is saying something).
How do you rule the world? By killing the ideas that do not serve your ruling interests, and by giving birth to the ones that do. And yes, Mark Zuckerberg totally gets this. epsilontheory.com/narrative-and-…

Narrative and Metaverse, Pt. 1: The Living Word
The past, present and future of human freedom is not determined in the macroverse but in the metaverse, and it is here where we must make our stand. First we will write the words to see the metaver...

Life begins at conception and ends at a school shooting.
Dallas Fed prez Robert Kaplan trades e-minis at >$1m per clip. Boston Fed prez Eric Rosengren trades in and out of Annaly and mortgage REITS. A junior analyst at Citi has more restrictions on her PA than Fed governors. Burn. It. The. Fuck. Down.
7/ In other words, this is complete and utter bullsh*t. We're ending the thread here so as to not spending our entire Thursday night fulminating over the mire of two old men.

The invisible hand at work!!!!
Delta, American and Southwest airlines made $1 billion in profit this quarter. Without taxpayer bailouts, they would have lost $2.1 billion. The same airlines laid off tens of thousands of workers in 2020 after spending virtually all their profit on stock buybacks + dividends.
You mean 27 years ago today the @HoustonRockets and @nyknicks were interrupted by a car chase.

Great thread.
I've gone down a rabbit hole of reading about the life of Yellowstone wolf 21, who seems to have been the wolf equivalent of the Buddha crossed with Batman. In his entire life he never lost a fight & never killed a defeated enemy. What a legend.
Spite is an excellent reason to donate money.
As you’ve heard, @AOC’s abuela is living in a dilapidated home that was ravaged by Hurricane Maria. AOC is unable to help her own grandma for whatever reason, so I have set up this Go Fund Me campaign to save her home. Please give if you can. #HelpAbuela gofundme.com/f/save-aocs-ab…
What's great about this is that the taxpayer gets to pay extra for freezing to death and those responsible aren't punished.
In response to February’s massive electricity outages, Texas lawmakers are considering legislation that would add charges to most Texans’ power bills to cover companies’ financial losses during the winter storm. Here’s the latest: bit.ly/3oRccUU
