As a UNC Chapel Hill student who is currently still sheltering in place with no updates other than the sound of sirens and helicopters, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. This shouldn’t happen. We shouldn’t have to go to class in fear of our lives. We need legislative change.

100 years ago tonight, in the small town where we live, thousands of klan members came to march through the Irish catholic neighborhood. To get there they had to funnel over this bridge. When they got there it had been blocked by a truck. Which should have been a warning.

Elon Musk is the direct reason Twitter/X is failing.

I have one but how would I get it to you?

I suppose that removing the ability to block is one way to force your exes and children that have disowned you to interact with you. Or at least be able to stalk them. This is some terminally divorced and pathetic behavior.

Anyone taking bets on how long until that X on the twitter hq falls and either hits a person or car? Is it really just weighed down with sandbags?

Elon Musk has some shit takes for someone that has obviously received his own gender affirming treatments.

Ah, air shows. Sitting in my living room and having flashbacks to Fallon. Time for anxiety meds.

On @elonmusk’s claim that everybody does it, actually in 2014 Erdoğan made the same demands of Twitter. Twitter refused and he did briefly ban the site. But the whole thing backfired on Erdoğan. Twitter also told Turkish users ways to evade the ban. theguardian.com/world/2014/m…

The Mayo Clinic is blackmailing Minnesota. Lawmakers got an email from the Mayo Clinic this week saying that if the “Keeping Nurses at the Bedside Act” isn’t changed, the hospital will pull more than $1 billion from Minnesota. So what’s the Act? What has the Clinic so angry? 🧵

Watching the frenzy for Bluesky invites reminds me of when Gmail opened their invites. If you have a spare invite, let me know 😆
