He nails it. This is conspicuous leisure as Veblen would put it. It’s an expression of superiority. – at Bexley, OH

#RightToRepair is wrapping up a big year, but there is more to do -- and I need help on my team. That's why I'm launching this funding push. Check out my latest video on why this moment is so critical -- youtu.be/7qJtMc_iNxs

What’s going on with Elon Musk, and why is he doing this to Twitter? I spent the last few months digging into it. I found a pretty big clue.

So one time (yesterday) I got to give a (brief) speech at the United Nations.
Thank you for the amazing speech @johngreen and for everything you've done in the fight to end TB #PeopleOverProfits (I might have maybe cried)

"The artists and animators who work on these machines are absolutely incredible, and do such good work! Pinball machines are so much deeper than most people realize" @jessica_pirate provided a great introduction to what makes pinball so special!

Because we haven't heard anything public from Danaher or Cepheid, I've tried reaching execs there. It hasn't gone great, but they have my phone number and email. They know how to get in touch with MSF. We want to work with them and make this a win for them. The GeneXpert Machine is so awesome--but tests aren't getting to nearly enough people who need them. Improving access isn't easy. I know that. It IS possible--but not if @DanaherCorp and Cepheid think the only response to public pressure is radio silence.

Hey @sternpinball How about a Scott Pilgrim pinball machine‽ cc @DeadFlip
Michael Cera responded to a meme on the SCOTT PILGRIM cast email chain 9 years after it was sent. “He just said, ‘Oh, that's funny.’ Chris Evans responded like, ‘Michael, what the fuck are you doing responding to this email from 9 years ago?’” (Source: ew.com/tv/scott-pilgrim-take…)

.@DanaherCorp has shut down their public-facing phone line. I guess they don't love hearing from the public. That's odd, because they were happy to accept over $250,000,000 of public money to develop their GeneXpert Machine.

Never forget that Donald Trump's initial reaction to 9/11 was to boast that after the towers fell he suddenly owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan. A sick man!
