.@StartHereABC With all due respect, Dr. Birx has no remaining credibility. She's a political actor who contributed to a botched COVID response, and even now is speaking with political motives.

@cordes_tax Seems like you're not legally responsible. Also seems like you're offering data entry services rather than expertise; I hope you charge accordingly.

Here we go. Client got a notice regarding their 2021 return. Did not include 1099-SSA. Looked in our scans. Not in there. Client claims we should have caught it and should be responsible. $1k+ in penalties. What do you do in this situation?

@QuinnyPig What nonsense. SVB is unusual in many regards, and there's no reason this would spread to other banks. Also- everything I've read makes me think that there will be a remedy by Monday. Calm down.

If SVB depositors aren’t made whole by basically Monday, I fail to see how there isn’t a run on every non-strategically important bank in the US banking system.

@thebump Beware of the extra, quite expensive shipping. Added hundred of dollars to my order at checkout. Shipping cost isn't mentioned or visible in prices.

@DLVermeer @BinkleyOnStyle Love Thredup! Would recommend it over Hanna-me-downs because the shipping on the latter is SOOOO expensive and they're a bit shady about it.

@BinkleyOnStyle The good news is that branded resale is +330% YoY, according to thredUP. Branded resale sites like “Hanna-Me-Downs” are like the fashion equivalent of certified pre-owned car dealerships.

@archiveresale But shipping is exorbitantly expensive. Like hundreds of $. Mentioned nowhere in pricing. It's a scam.

@happyhannas added >$100 in shipping to my "preowned" order- conveniently omitting any mention of that in prices? Insane.

@DrStephCraig Then I'd focus on those learning outcomes. I'd explain the format of the exam and my general grading approach. Each class and exam is so different, I have come to believe it's fair for students to want to understand how they are being evaluated.

@DrStephCraig - What, at the end of the course, you should be able to know/explain/do on demand without any help - What you should be able to do/figure out with resources and 15 minutes - What you should be familiar enough to know exists, why it matters, and why it's interesting

@jazbatzz Did Delta believe there would never be 3 inches of snow in Chicago? Because if they thought there would be, surely they'd have systems in place to prevent stranding at connections, mismanaged staff schedules, etc.

In other words, the government had very little interest in enforcing Covid rules (not like what you can see on YouTube from Australia) and no ability to force the cautious people to stop being cautious. Policy surely mattered but it mattered less than people think.

I think the biggest mistake people make in thinking about the Covid era is overrating top-down policy relative to bottom-up behavior. DCPS was slower to reopen than I preferred but DC charters were even slower to return and clung longer to masks.

@WSJ What's the point of this article? Meth is addictive and unhealthy? The author's obvious disdain for addicts and (seemingly) women generally isn't a new, fresh take.

@SamtheNightOwl @mattxiv Your philosophy professor in college thought to teach that it's okay to assault people who have different views than your own? Strange. This is on par with people who say they'll put gum in others hair, or cut their hair, etc. on airplanes for something they don't like.

@dM01997 @GBBranstetter I feel that you may be confusing gender and attraction with sexual intercourse. Mentioning that families can look many ways isn't pornographic. Reading books where kids have crushes on other kids of the same sex is not more scandalous than the Babysitters Club.

@GBBranstetter Simple, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few' - Spock, 1970. Hypersexualization children is wrong. Teachers talking to children about sex is outside the job description. Teachers are not exactly qualified to speak to any psychological issues.
