Been off this for 2.5 years and with recent developments have no plans to return. I am however on Mastodon now as @sdether@mas.to and it feels like he twitter of 10 years ago. Linear timeline, no injected toxic echo chamber, useful information

Been resisting upgrading @Twitter for ages to avoid the stupid home timeline. Looks like they finally broke the old client because I now get likes next in the timeline regardless settings. Grr

Fired twitter up for the first time in over a month and somehow it’s over again showing only tweets of those I follow without having to update the client. So maybe I dodged the “best tweets first” client update one more time

Been off this thing for a bit over a week and can’t say I miss it. I’ll see DMs but otherwise won’t be back until @Twitter releases a client always stays in timeline order of only things I follow. The other feed is just a toxic circle jerk. Bye

What needs to be fixed? They're registered offshore to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Why on earth would we pay them?
They can ask Bermuda or Liberia for a bailout.

NEW: Cruise industry not confident it could borrow from any of the existing loan programs bc of offshore registration.
Sr. admin official says bipartisan Senate grp working to ensure they can access one of the facilities--or else will seek a legislative fix in the next package.

I generally don't have the patience to watch real racing on TV, but for some reason the coverage from @RaceDepartment for their 90-minute Hungaroring race is more compelling to me than watching real GT racing youtu.be/32W76lvW8_w

This is the moment I warned of - we have sacrificed so much already, but it feels like nothing is working. That's because it takes weeks to see results. We must stay committed and trust that the social distancing we are enduring now will save thousands of lives.

Any interventions we make today will not show up in our data for 1-2 weeks. The time it takes to show symptoms after being infected is about 5 days, and then it takes a few more days to get diagnosed and counted. For a while it will feel like nothing is working but it takes time.

Congress needs remote voting for contingencies like coronavirus. But regular voters need mail voting for the same reason. It's pretty worrying that there isn't much discussion of the latter, at least on the federal level.

I’m ready to support remote voting.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
It is time to bring the Senate into the 21st century. rollcall.com/2020/03/22/remo…

What’s the fucking point of allowing billionaires to accrue all this money if we have to pay them every time their companies lose value?
That’s what the BILLIONS we let you keep are for, dipshits.

The irony of hospital CEOs complaining about $0.50 masks being sold for $7 after they built an entire career selling $0.50 bags of saline for $500.
It’s almost like hyper-inflating life-saving costs for profit should be ILLEGAL....🧐

Must be a tough time to be an infrastructure engineer on Zoom, Slack, Teams, or Hangouts 📈
That said, my experience has been as buttery smooth as ever, even though you must be scrambling to meet significantly increased capacity demands 🙌
👏 Impressive 👏 job 👏 y'all 👏

Please retweet if you support the vital legislation Senators Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden are introducing to make mail-in ballots available to every voter in America well in advance of November 3.

Every day you clowns are going on with your regular business instead of social distancing you are extending the isolation for all of us.

A thousand times this. Sick of corporate welfare

No industry -- not airlines, not hotels, not cruise ships -- should be bailed out. They can stay in business by borrowing at rock-bottom rates, using their assets as collateral.
Taxpayer money should be used to bail out people, not corporations.
