Why not link to the actual Twitter announcement instead of some random account talking about it?

This is precisely why I've switched to Firefox in recent years. It's quite good these days. I don't even have Chrome installed on my current personal PC.

It sounds like it barely moves, so I'm guessing that's not an option. He doesn't have the pink slip so he can't really sell it or donate it properly. Maybe he should start charging Amazon rent for the parking spot.

Hah, I'm the opposite. I listen to music that I'm very familiar with because I already know what's coming next. New music distracts me more because I end up paying attention to it to see if I like it, etc.

This is race related in the same way that saying "All Lives Matter" is racist. It's not about the words that are stated, it's about the context as well. When people are protesting about racial injustice toward some mino

What a pointless article. Being "fully vaccinated" doesn't mean you're immune to COVID19 or something.

Of course it's real. There is just far more right-wing authoritarianism right now, so that's what most people focus on.

Yep, crypto is more or less the same as traditional finance in this sense. A few powerful individuals already control a disproportionate amount of the crypto world. Like the sketchy folks who run Tether and Binance at the same time. Or Elo

Yep, couldn't read the article due to paywall. In any case, corporations are entities obligated to seek profits for their shareholders. They are supposed to put profits ahead of children. This is why we need more regulations on corp

It seems like most of his criticisms are around the efficacy of the vaccine past 6 months? Even if the vaccine only grants up to 6 months of protection, why would that be an argument not to approve it? If anything, it sounds like we shoul

It sounds to me like they're saying that if you got vaccinated early on, the vaccine may be less effective at this point so you have an increased risk of severe disease. Most likely they are comparing with recently vaccinated people.
