Seriously! @AlaskaAir for the win. My flight to San Fran was on @SouthwestAir and the internet ALMOST worked on that flight. @SpaceX /@Starlink should really be on every plane that is functional….

Just finishing up a flight from JFK to LAX, 6 hrs. I’m sitting next to a man, no headphones, no phone, no book, not sleeping, not talking to anyone. NOTHING. He’s just been staring at the map of the plane moving across the country for HOURS! Not sure if I’m impressed or worried…. Didn’t get out of his seat once. Consumed one “bubbly” water.

I’m 46 and have two kids. 8 and 5. Both are awesome, I should have had them sooner! I’d probably have two more if I had them sooner.
The reason people aren’t having enough kids in America is because it’s too expensive But a lot of this is due to our culture Live close to family Small towns in red states are amazing, not evil Have kids young if you can ❤️

Starship is the largest, most capable rocket ever developed and will allow us to achieve a shared vision of a future where humanity is out exploring stars → youtube.com/spacex

After taking @Waymo around San Fran this week and just getting out of my @lyft to OAK. I can honestly say I feel safer with a computer driving me rather than most humans….

We need a mix of this and widening of the H1-B visa program... Immigration is a multifaceted issue, but this part of it should be clear.
