GSA is on board, Michigan certified, and Cambridge has a vaccine that doesn't have to be stored and transported at almost 100° below zero. Apologies to our international Friends for the fahrenheit scale. This is a good day. I shall sip whiskey. But only one.
This guy is my patronous.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMM. This guy today just got out of his car, yelled a little bit, gave someone in the crowd the finger and then mooned them. And got right back in his car and left. I truly have NO IDEA who he was supporting or was mad at. @PghCurrent @PghProtests

This is the perfunctory writing Twitter now requires to retweet something as a flaccid attempt to save our democracy.

Student loan debt is in the news, so a reminder that it kills entrepreneurship. 10k in student debt versus no debt: 💰Lowers the chance of launching a startup by 7% 💰Drops startup revenue by 42% 💰Hits tech & fast-growing startups hardest 💰Makes impact of startup failure worse

I've finally figured out what they really mean when they say, businessmen. They mean private equity. Take a solid company leverage the shit out of it. Cut all investments in long-term growth and cash out now because you are the owner and leave everyone else holding the bag.

After this is all over, I never, ever want to hear again about how businessmen would run the government better than politicians.
Mayors will always get things done. Listen to these fantastic people talk about regardless of the circumstances, their job is to serve people and improve lives.

Just listens to @PodSaveAmerica and @jonlovett made a The Edge reference. What do I get for knowing that without looking that up? I can even cite the scene. They see a drawn picture of a Native American killing a bear and Anthony Hopkins convinces Alec Baldwin he can do it too.
Take the the fucking win. Consolidate. Take the next fucking win consolidate. Then take the next fucking win. And during all that figure out how you deal with toxic whiteness and masculinity.

Donald Trump won the presidency by less than 80,000 votes, not a single member of his party reflected on anything, and they acted like they were given an enormous mandate for four years. Democrats have got to stop treating DC reporters like their fucking therapists. Grow up.

A long thought for today: We are on the precipice, of that we are sure. Of what exactly, there are hints and whispers and clues, but the haze of the future is unknowable. 1/

Yes. Do this. Make the republicans fight over minimum wage. Make them argue restraint and process while You try to get people more money. Do this.

This is to my left friends. We have to be able to accept or we will find ourselves in the same space as the right; an endless arms race to be the “most.”

There will be lots of politics around oil this week, but remember: ISIS is funded by oil sales, fossil fuels are slowly killing our planet, oil mostly comes from overseas, renewables don't kill us, and we can make them here. OF COURSE we should transition away from oil.
This new retweet rule is the fucking worst.
