With @Tesla solar and energy tech, and @SpaceX launch and Starlink tech, @elonmusk could be beaming energy from space, flattening the current energy market. Great practice for when he gets to Mars then he won't need any energy generating planet side.
I want to thank the brave men and women who dedicated and sacrificed their lives for ours. Without them, without YOU, this long weekend works not be one of family and freedom. Thank you. 🙏
Did everybody see the trainer throw rich strikes at the winning horse?

So, I take a break from Twitter for almost a year, get frustrated when I can't find info on something happening RIGHT NOW, login to find more info, and immediately get sidetracked by all these fancy new features and a video from sausage of a volcano exploding. 😱

**Our area needed a mass vaccination site. 2 sites were identified. One wanted $15K and the other $25K PER MONTH (lease). A local entrepreneur (and philanthropist) stepped forward not only providing a site, he did renovations. His lease? $1. I want his name known: ❤️Sunil Puri.

"As a parent and educator I can help dismantle systemic racism." One teacher and mom shares tips for how White teachers can support meaningful change through their teaching practice.

Great thread on a living wage based on cost of living vs. one national minimum wage. This is very progressive thinking and doesn't create broad, undue burden.

So I've been stuck on the camera policy for my Zoom classes. I totally get the worries about student privacy and invasiveness. But I also know that my teaching gets radically worse when I'm facing mostly all black squares. So this time, I tried complete honesty. Report-thread:

Thank you for your service. Great thread from someone who knows about guns.
THREAD on AR-15: I’m a US Marine which means I do have some professional experience with guns. Feel free to criticize my position or disagree but please don’t question my military service or knowledge of guns. I served this Nation with my life and I only want the best for it. 1/
I absolutely agree with this observation. Do you feel like time slows down or your brain outpaces time?
The ADHD brain is a marvel and one of the places it truly shines is in a total emergency situation. I never feel more clear headed, more in control, or more able to confidently call the shots and call them perfectly than when everything is in utter peril.

Senate Republicans just refused to convict a president who incited a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government. Their cowardly betrayal will be remembered for the rest of history, but we can't let it be the end of the story. Here's how Trump can still be held accountable:

So strange how early in the process there was a two-thirds vote to find Trump guilty and then they just kept “finding” all these other senators to vote not guilty.

I knew Trump's speech urging supporters to march on the Capitol, and his tweet attacking Pence as violence began. Also knew his semi-call for peace that repeated election lies. But I'd missed that at 6:01pm 1/6, he also justified and celebrated his attack. From the House brief:

Great explanation. I'm not sure why this took so long.

So, gerrymandering the US electoral college is easy to control, but free markets responding to their customers and pulling funding is not easy to control, and egregious when it affects you?
