.@elonmusk Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalized and at-risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community. They are real people with real feelings. Furthermore, Dr Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives.

After Trump elevated anti-immigrant & anti-Latino rhetoric, we had the deadliest anti-Latino shooting in modern history. After anti-Asian hate w/COVID, Atlanta. Tree of life. Emanuel AME. Buffalo. And now after an anti-LGBT+ campaign, Colorado Springs. Connect the dots, @GOP.

A trans friend of mine said that after Twitter stopped banning trans harassment, it took only 12 hours before she started getting death threats. Do we have Free Speech if bullies are allowed to make people afraid to speak?

This is the epitome of Twitter 1.0 and no amount of money or hubris will ever be able to destroy it. The story behind the #LoveWhereYouWork hashtag. 💙 Tweeps, our bond is unbreakable. 💙 #LoveWhereYouWorked #OneTeam

Software companies aren't made of code. They're made of processes that produce and maintain code. And the foremost component of these processes are people. The code is just a by-product. More of a liability than an asset.

you did not just layoff almost all of infra and then make some sassy remark about how we do batching like did you bother to even learn how graphql works

Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!

As you might have read, Twitter’s Curation team - which I led - was disbanded last week. 🧵 The multilingual team, located in 9 cities, provided content intelligence for ML-driven products, trends context and highlighted credible content when Twitter really needed it.

Technology companies which measure impact by easily-observable (and game-able) metrics like commit-count or lines-of-code mistakenly treat their software as an asset, rather than the liability it actually is. Their products and capabilities are the assets, not the code

In the early days of twitter, our nightmare scenario was Justin Bieber and Katy Perry retweeting one another 😂

Always amazed at the horrible takes on Twitter’s requirements. WhatsApp max fan out was 256 other users, then they raised that to 512. This guy has 26k followers. That’s 50x any WhatsApp’s delivery requirement. Obama has 133m, so 260,000x the recipients. Basically the Same.

No more emails. If you want something from me you must approach me slowly and calmly with a piece of apple or carrot in your palm with your fingers flat and extended so I do not bite them

Everyone needs to stop what they are doing and watch @jonstewart's show on trans people. (free, appleTV) Out of the gate he acknowledges his problematic past. Then proceeds to go harder than I've ever seen any celeb go in demolishing the arguments. Thank you Jon. Sincerely.

Whew. This is it. This thread captures the nuance about wealth that has been missing from a lot of discourse.

I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to talk about debt cancellation in a way that might get through to the "I worked my way through college/I made better choices" crowd. Wealth is the missing piece: annehelen.substack.com/p/wea…
