“It all began when my Grandpa Moe made a wrong turn. He was 93 years old, but he was still driving to and from his butcher shop. And one night he missed his turn in the dark. That’s when I offered to start driving him home. But I think he misunderstood me..." #comebacknyc

Tips are ⬇️ and sexual harassment is way ⬆️ but the subminimum wage for tipped workers stays the same. Check out @NPR's coverage of our most recent report on sexual harassment of service workers in the times of #COVID19 #MASKualharassment #OneFairWage npr.org/sections/coronavirus…

I finally had time to reflect on #TheSocialDilemma and as someone who has worked on tech policy issues throughout my career, had many, many thoughts. 🧵 (The following are entirely my personal views and don't in any way reflect those of my employers past or present.)

Here are my thoughts on the Novak Djokovic default. First I hope the line judge is okay. The rule is the rule. It is unfortunate for everyone involved, but in this specific situation the default was the right call. #USOpen

gah. he called me out on my shit so many times, and i learned so much in the process.
Mike Limon, the brains behind twitter has passed due to Covid. He was a good friend to me for over 30 years and was extremely involved in the punk rock scene since the 1980’s, since he booked bands at Gilman Street in Berkeley, Ca. He will be missed. facebook.com/1203561889/post…

This hit me hard, because Mike was semi-mythic to me. Always approachable, always fascinating, even though we didn't work together directly. As somebody migrating from a much more traditional corporate CS work background, he embodied a lot of what I loved about early Twitter.

I keep tellin folks, Biden just may have to be your rebound. And that’s okay... You’ve been in an abusive relationship and, Biden’s the decent guy who could be the bridge between your nightmare and your dream love... He may be who you date before you discover you’re into women...

My lovely son is forty today. The same day the doctor told me I was pregnant with him she also said I had myasthenia gravis. I went home and cried and prayed we would both get through it and today he has children of his own. Happy day 😊 🎨 Brian Kershisnik

If you’re gonna head down the rabbit hole of how entertainment media is and has been used to shape public perception of people, places, and things, then please tether yourself first. Also, it’s been nice knowing you.

The www was a very different place in the late 90s and early aughts. It was like a secret club house.
