- flappyeagle 2y agoWhy are posting on HN? You should be escaping the feds. They’re after you! Hurry and wrap your head in foil so they don’t read your thoughts. And destroy the computer you’re posting from so they don’t trace your IP. You’re welcome.
- tonymet 2y agoI post here because most of the audience is intelligent, but there are exceptions.
- mattnewton 2y agoStill sick with Covid. I expect him to address the nation early next week, like he promised in his letter. It is unfortunate that this is on social media, mostly twitter though. I understand this is probably too close to campaigning for Biden to feel comfortable with posting it on whitehouse.gov, but I feel like the president should have a pulpit where someone contributing millions to the opposing party can't plaster their view right underneath it. Another problem with the centralized web - reading the president's letter with the promoted posts and ads on x right under feels tacky as hell here.
- tonymet 2y agowould any other serious announcement be welcomed with such little scrutiny? and it's inconsistent with his messaging even just a few days ago
- uhtred 2y agoOr do you only read twitter to stay informed? There's a signed letter from Biden announcing it, published on reputable news websites.
