Watched the PBS Newshour today and it was the first time I’ve seen actual reporting from Tehran and Beirut. Interviewing people there. Showing the destruction, suffering, and death. We need more of this. @pbsnews.org

Half of San Francisco are delivery drivers for the other half, and it’s only going to get worse.

Yes! It seems the President has never heard the word β€œaffordability” before. This says everything.

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

The current economy only benefits the elite. The fund managers. The CEOs. The billionaires. The president. 401k talk is just throwing cake crumbs at the rabble.

Jesse Jackson was the first presidential candidate I ever voted for in my first presidential primary election (1988). He will always loom large in my mind.

Have pitchers and catchers reported yet? For some reason it’s hard to tell.

This is a good thread. For email, I'd add @fastmail.com (which I have used for years) and the upcoming @thunderbird.net email as alternatives to Protonmail, as I think they're going to be a lot more usable for most regular users.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

I use a Eufy cam and doorbell cam with their local server/storage. I hope this is cool. I can’t keep up with all the garbage.
