Last year, I started investigating a 1997 murder for a class. Most people who knew about this case were too scared to speak to me. I couldn’t fathom why. But as I peeled back the layers, I started discovering things I wasn’t meant to know. 1/ tw: murder, rape, suicide

Why Beauty Matters (and how it has been destroyed by "usability") A short thread...

@zackvoell I think it was a reasonable conclusion, and he even mentioned that a black swan event could break support (which is exactly what happened). Stop trying to dunk on people for not knowing the future.

@fintechfrank That ain’t crypto, that’s your problem

If crypto doesn’t start focusing on risk management it will die

@maxberger literal fascists, huh?

“Then we have the concept of dis-mis-information, not to be confused with dismiss-information” How can we truth without people like this? We are so lucky

@jameshamblin Single most productive human on earth, but akshualllllllllyyyyy

Before you criticize Elon Musk’s politics, remember he’s the reason we have the hyperloop train that gets you from LA to SF in one hour.

@michelletandler @anildash No, Anil is just sending a signal to the large cohort of VCs & power players in SF who demand comformity on this issue

@anildash Do you have any evidence of what you are saying? I have yet to meet a single VC in San Francisco who I would consider "hard right." And given SF is 90%+ left or far left I don't see the "demand conformity" logic.

Civil asset forfeiture is just legalized robbery and extortion. The government operates like a criminal enterprise—without having to face any of the normal consequences. End civil asset forfeiture now.

@AlpacaAurelius You eating years old steak? Sounds nasty

Stock up on a few years worth of sugar, gelatin, rice, water, ghee, honey, steak, liver. You won't regret it if sh*t really hits the fan.

@RebeccaforWA Why stop here? Let’s have people occupy empty rooms inside other people’s homes. Just let us know how many rooms you have so the government can decide how many homeless people to send over. Check your privilege!

You feel it. I feel it. We're on the edge of collapse. Wall St is buying up entire neighborhoods, rent & home prices are soaring, working people can't afford homes. It's time to occupy empty homes nationwide. It's time for #HousingForAll. RT & join us: rebeccaparson.com/action

@DavidSacks Yes, the consensus among experts is number go down until you sell, then number go up

Can the stock market keep going down every single day? Asking for a friend.

How deep into gerontocracy can we go

@MarkFriedenbach @TheAstroKiwi For Tweet engagement, obviously

@TheAstroKiwi Why?

Former President George W. Bush: “The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”

@CNBC @CNBCMakeIt 🤣

When inflation is high, Warren Buffett says the best thing you can do is "be exceptionally good at something." (via @CNBCMakeIt) cnb.cx/3wl6yzB

@LHSummers @JeffBezos @JoeBiden @POTUS Flood the system with cash to cause inflation, then raise taxes to lower inflation. In other words, increase taxes to cause the problem, then increase taxes more to solve it. #logic

I think @JeffBezos is mostly wrong in his recent attack on the @JoeBiden Admin. It is perfectly reasonable to believe, as I do and @POTUS asserts, that we should raise taxes to reduce demand to contain inflation and that the increases should be as progressive as possible.

@jurgenappelo This is a weirdly aggressive response. Like, I would hate to disagree with you on anything substantive.

For the record, this is complete and utter bullshit. Teamwork is not better than working alone, and individual accomplishment is not the exception to the rule. 200K-year history taught us different contexts and different approaches. Teams can be awesome, and individuals too.
