I ❤️ reading all of your tweets filled w/ snark, criticisms, complaints & suggestions. Please don’t stop. But make sure you’re also out there in the real-world doing the hard work it takes to make our communities the best places they can be. Don’t just be a critic. Play a part.

One hour to get from the Space Needle to I-5. It’s about one mile. #Seattle has a serious problem with traffic flow. This is insane. How do people do this every single day?!

Twenty years ago, @Microsoft broke ground on our first data center in Quincy, Washington. At a time when so many small towns have been shrinking, Quincy has grown, and the partnership behind that story is one worth telling. Watch how a farm town in Central Washington helped build the cloud, and built a thriving future of its own.

Our Fairwater datacenter in Wisconsin is going live, ahead of schedule. As the world’s most powerful AI datacenter, it will bring together hundreds of thousands of GB200s into a single seamless cluster. Congrats to all the teams who made this possible!
If intelligence is the log of compute… it starts with a lot of compute! And that’s why we’re scaling our GPU fleet faster than anyone else. Just last year, we added over 2 gigawatts of new capacity – roughly the output of 2 nuclear power plants. And today we’re going further, announcing the world's most powerful AI datacenter, located in southeastern Wisconsin. Fairwater is a seamless cluster of hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200s, connected by enough fiber to circle the Earth 4.5 times. It will deliver 10x the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputer today, enabling AI training and inference workloads at a level never before seen. For AI training workloads, you need compute at exponential scale. That’s why we designed the datacenter, GPU fleet, and network together as one integrated system. This ensures a single job can run from day 1 at exponential scale across thousands of GPUs. Fairwater uses a liquid-cooled closed-loop system for cooling GPUs that requires zero water for operations after construction. And we’re matching all of the energy that is consumed with renewable sources. And of course, it is just one of several similar sites we’re lighting up across our 70+ regions. We have multiple identical Fairwater datacenters under construction in other locations across the US, in addition to our AI infrastructure already deployed in over 100 datacenters around the world, powering model training, test-time compute, RL tuning, and real-time inference at global scale. Too often during times like this, people go with the current and only later wonder, how did we get here? With Fairwater, we're charting a new path: doing the hard engineering work, bringing compute, network, and storage into one highly scaled cluster, and designing closed-loop energy systems to meet real-world computing needs. And partnering with local communities to ensure it's thoughtfully done in a way that is sustainable, creates new jobs, and expands opportunity. We are thrilled to see this take hold in Wisconsin, and we are just getting started.

An unexpected opportunity to spend 1:1 time w/ my son this winter break. What this lay-low time after a layoff is teaching me about intentionality, responsiveness, and being truly effective at work and mom-life. Are we following each other yet on TikTok? tiktok.com/t/ZP8f2hTvU/

Recent studies show new antibody drugs can slow cognitive decline in people with early-onset Alzheimer’s — a critical finding for a disease with no cure. CBS News chief medical correspondent @DrLaPook visits Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where researchers are testing treatments before symptoms appear. (The clinical trials involve the 1 to 2 percent of people with Alzheimer's who are genetically predisposed to developing dementia.) He also speaks with philanthropist @BillGates, who has donated $300 million to support Alzheimer’s research. cbsn.ws/485aoja

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. nytimes.com/2025/09/20/opini…

The masses are getting restless at #SeaTac after the @AlaskaAir outage and the mess it’s created! Computers are back up, but pilots are timing out, and there aren’t enough gates. Moved from N to C so far… #AlaskaAirlinesDown

What a night to be on @AlaskaAir. N gate at Seatac is a mess with the grounded flights.

Now many of the pilots are at time and so the Alaska planes can’t leave even if the computers are back up! 🤦🏻‍♀️

When the United States and other governments suddenly cut their aid budgets, I know for a fact that more children will die. Here’s the proof I’m showing Congress. gatesnot.es/3ZMNVTA

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵
RFK Jr is on Fox News going full anti-vax

Billionaires take note: @BillGates is stepping up his philanthropy to spend down virtually all his wealth over 20 years and then close his foundation. And he's giving in ways that will save millions of lives. Here's a great interview with him about the path ahead: nytimes.com/2025/05/08/magaz…
Replying to @BillGates
We have an opportunity to save more lives around the world than ever before—and I want to do even more to help. That's why I'm giving away virtually all of my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

Bill Gates tells @tonydokoupil that his charitable Gates Foundation will undergo a major change that will result in it shutting down by 2045 as he gives away 99% of his wealth. His organization is now doubling its spending on initiatives that fight poverty, disease and inequity, amounting to about $200 billion over the next 20 years: “We will be able to save tens of millions of lives.”
