His "Unmournable Bodies" essay in New Yorker shook me to my core.


This has to be good news for Twitter.

Twitter suffered enormously under his leadership. It lost users, potential revenue, potential profits, and people.

He seemed to not care about all the trolling and abuse problems.

This is good news.


A 300 point drop in the Dow is an "almost normal" day.

700 point is nothing to worry about.


There have only been 2 drops greater than 700 points. The third largest fall was 684 points.

Twitter has been the best way to deal with Comcast that I have found.


When I was unhappy I was always unhappy (eventually). Whether it was by myself or with other people. Smallco or Bigco.

IMHO, 5 things are essential. Everything else is secondary:

- Sleep / resting the body-mind

ICIM: I'm a "person of color who's made a lot of unfortunate choices" ;=D


> It can also be redundant, since the USDA’s organic label already excludes GMOs

Quick, what's the logical fallacy here?


Exactly this.

If stuxnet is possible, a voting machine should be a piece of cake.


> I built and sold tech businesses in the UK, US and Brazil.

It's always intriguing when people write that without mentioning the names of any businesses.
