The idea that Facebook would brag about “pre-ducing” distribution even before a fact check shows how far we’ve come on this topic - a few years ago this would be the kind of thing James O’Keefe would uncover through secret recordings. Now execs just…tweet it out...
While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.

Boeing 737 Max has an aerodynamic flaw (new engines make it fly straight up and stall) BA tried to fix with software. Design a plane with natural tendency to fly, not natural tendency to stall. I won’t ride in a plane that requires special software to keep it from stalling.

One of the beautiful, new buildings we saw on our Housing Tour last month. We couldn't agree more with @brigham's discussion of extending the walkable urban environment from the Financial District to South @southparkla.
