WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵

TW: weight loss I’ve lost 35 lbs this year! This time I wanted to reject diet culture, restrictive eating, and calorie counting because I have a history of EDs. My whole goal has been to not punish myself while just eating good food that fuels my body and it’s working. I’m so proud of myself!

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Global warming is real and we need to fight it. But climate data is starting to look like NBA stats: combine enough variables and there’s always a new “record” or “first ever.” Data matters. Not every possible combination of data does. Fear-driven statistics don’t bring solutions.

I love (“love”) how Microsoft has decided the reason no one uses copilot is becuase we just don’t know how great it is, so now when I open Word or Excel I get a bunch of example pop-ups in the corner showing me exiting basic functions I could always do, but now in the form of a question.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
