I had a pet cat living in one of the Las Vegas tunnels, being cared for by a homeless man. As a cat lover, it was hard to see. The man has chosen to live in that tunnel and has been there for over a decade—that’s his decision. But the cat doesn’t have a choice. It raises a real question: if someone chooses to live this way, is it acceptable for an animal to be brought into it?

@built Meh. TBH, it looks like all the stuff I don't like about modern movies strung together with the other stuff I don't like about modern movies, but with conspiracy theory politics slathered on. (Arguably no worse than what they've smeared on some other recent movies, but still...)

Sad news. My friend Simon who did the original bird for Twitter, Octocat for GitHub and Redid Sammy The Shark for DigitalOcean has passed away, he was 56. He was a great guy. What a loss.

I'm sorry, but no. SS will have a mandatory benefits cut of 23% by 2032 1) life expectancy has climbed from when it was made 65 to 67 2) Income cap has not been adjusted in decades Fastest growing category in fed budget is interest on debt. We cannot afford populist policies

.@mlevchin: "Socialism sucks." "Take it from somebody who spent his first 16 years under the 'warm embrace of collectivism' as a certain mayor recently put it—socialism sucks." "The only people who do well in redistribution of wealth are the ones doing redistribution." "It's fundamentally corrupt. There's not enough bad things I can say about socialism."
