Phenomenal reporting from the NYTimes. @theyoungcenter serves the hardest cases among the 130,000 kids @hannahdreier describes. Read more here and DM me if you want regular updates: nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/…

@jeff_weinstein @theYoungCenter because it’s the new Ellis Island

Hey, it’s my birthday. To celebrate, reply with (1) your favorite charity and (2) what it means to you. I’ll be happy to donate to it. 🎁

From an old colleague who lives in Hawaii: If you’re looking for a way to help those affected by the fires in Hawaii I’ve heard from local orgs and people that I trust that these are all good options: - hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong - memberplanet.com/campaign/cnham… - mauifoodbank.org/donate/

@thdxr @jescalan A loooong time ago I once heard @chaddickerson pulled this off at yahoo by announcing the event before he had budget approval. Epic

@jescalan the problem is talks are a good way to trick your company into paying for tickets “it’s educational” maybe we fake the whole thing

is it possible to pull off a huge all day party that's sponsored by a bunch of developer companies rent a crazy location, do it really big it's basically like a conference but the hanging out parts only - would people fly out for that?

@gregory Just wait a gosh darn pickin minute didn’t I see this tweet someplace else

It’s getting harder and harder to remember which app I’m in

Wonderful role on a wonderful team working on a wonderful future:

@hirschb Better beaches in other islands (I’ve heard), but views culture and cliffs at Madiera can’t be beat. On Madeira there’s apparently a couple Michelin restaurants but mostly regular food is amazing. Definitely any flavor Pesca and of course espitada.

Twitterverse, if one was going to the Azores for a week in July where would you stay? Top 10 must do’s? Best snorkeling spots? Hidden gems/secrets? Can’t miss restaurants?

Border Patrol arrested a 75-year-old humanitarian worker who was bringing water to lost migrant children, including one holding a baby. Agents used a legal workaround to charge her with trespassing on public land. theintercept.com/2023/05/14/tit…

@srcasm I could intro you to the Young Center team: this is all the non profit does. theyoungcenter.org (I’m on the board)

A family just came to my son’s school as refugees. They speak no English and came with nothing. We’ve been helping them get on their feet… Wondering what programs I’m missing that could help? Free SIM and minutes from @TMobile? Discounted @MTA programs? Clothing?

@alphacolin Ya it's weird. Tho I got an invite yesterday like 24h after joining waitlist.

"You're invited to ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᵖᵖᵒʳᵗᵘⁿᶦᵗʸ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵃᵐᵒⁿᵍ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᶦʳˢᵗ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᶦⁿᵛᶦᵗᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ... try bard" That first email is just a little misleading.

@alexlmiller I mean… vcs ‘bout to recommend keeping cash in those high interest accounts!

Now that it’s clear we’re not going to allow bank failures, regulators should aggressively pursue clawbacks of recent management stock sales. Need to eliminate the incentive to burn hot and then let gov pick up the pieces

@zachklein One of the seminal moments in my tech career was watching @heif smash an iPad on stage at NYTM saying “use the internet to get off the internet”

I've worked on a screen my whole life and I can't get worked up by it very much anymore. It seems it's our generation's moment to manage the real world and I want to be a part of that. If I only have one life to live I want the remainder to be maximally physical and sensual.

This crowd is deranged. Massive wealth accumulators who can't manage to see beauty on living breathing Earth.

@zachklein Similarly, I always thought this was a smart NYC equivalent ny.curbed.com/2018/2/15/1701…

Americans would pay more to drive less. “…homebuyers in America’s largest metro areas will pay 35 percent more for walkable real estate. Renters pay a 41 percent premium.” apple.news/Apj8EFu6UR1y5U…

AP African American Studies is an incredible opportunity for students to learn our history & it’s shameful – though not surprising – that Gov. DeSantis opposes this. Proud to support @AmandaDoAmanda of @thinkfiveable to call on @CollegeBoard to step up: 5able.me/3XFssZv

@tonywan What will toenight bring

A tasty treat and fun twist to start the day

@arctictony What are you going to do neeeext?

@alexlmiller Nice! Join /r/electricians to learn a ton (and get feedback on your sub panel)

Finished my first panel install. Critical load sub panel for the garage to power stuff via solar if we lose the grid.

As the Young Center has consistently demonstrated, Title 42 is a violation of immigration law that fuels human suffering. 📢 We urge the Biden Administration to seize the opportunity noted by the Court to take independent action to end Title 42 immediately.

Remember when the internet was just friendly nerds and people who shared cat videos?
