Friendly warning to all - do NOT buy GE Advantium speedcooker. We have had two units catch on fire over the last 4 years and customer service response was " that is rare but does happen". @GEAppliancesCo

Honest tweet now. This account is run by frontline NHS staff. There’s just 3 of us. We have tried our best to get out what is happening on the ground. But we are completely exhausted. If you support what we are doing pls will you follow & RT this to your followers? Thank you 🙏🏻

Good life advice - do a little research before spouting off

If you're one of those people who know that heat pumps "don't work in cold climates" because you heard it from a guy who heard it from his cousin a while back, I beg you, just do 30 seconds of googling before you share your wisdom on here.



Hot take

I'm going to say something controversial right now. We should not be setting the ocean on fire.

I’m sorry @USAA This is where I draw the line. You have 30 days. I see one more ad after 8.1.21 on Fox News, I’m taking my business elsewhere.

Tucker on Milley’s comments: He’s not just a pig. He’s stupid



Love this - so true. The context in which a message was generated is never passed with the message opening the receiver to have to interpret - thereby introducing errors and uncertainty

Wow - this is pretty shattering emotionally. Can’t help but be drawn to income inequality in the middle as a starting point

Interesting map this one

It's almost Fathers Day. Rather than celebrating, I will spend Fathers Day working to prevent other dads from losing children to gun violence. I need your help sending a message to DC. Let's make #DadsForGunSafety the biggest # of all time with 1,000,000 RT's. Let's do this.

The Twitter handle wasn’t a hint?

It’s a photo of Lee Harvey Oswald. Genius

Remember when the stupidest look was a cell gone holster?

This guy must be dealing with some serious feelings of inadequacy. 🙄

I have told many people this - the demographic shift is unstoppable. The only thing that they can do to prop up their regime is resort to authoritarian tactics. Democracy will no longer work for the republicans

All right, a thread about white epistemic hegemony (only less pretentious than that sounds). As a specific illustration of the larger phenomenon I want to discuss, we begin with @zchace's superb recent podcast miniseries, The Improvement Association. nytimes.com/2021/04/22/pod…


It really isn’t that hard

... I don't. I just try to help others and others then do stuff. That's the magic.



They have a term for this in police training: “felony headlight”. The practice of pulling someone over for a minor violation fishing for something bigger. Often employed on “suspicious” vehicles- I.e. driven by Black men

Imagine for a second we did away with all motorist stops for minor, administrative violations. The volume of armed encounters between citizens and police would plummet. Fewer encounters. Fewer citizens - and police - killed.



About leadership - I love Simon’s point here - Leadership (when done well) is extraordinarily difficult. I tell people all the time - be careful about wanting a leadership role. It is not what you think it is

... you have to become the servant to the collective, the pillar on which you enable others to shine ... it's a tough thing to do, it ages you visibly such is the toll. Don't take it on lightly. You are responsible for the fates of others ...



The fake machismo of these want to be tough guys kill me. Compensate much?

Dear @RepCawthorn: We don’t want your guns. We just don’t want you to bring them on the House Floor. I have 2 Air Force marksmanship ribbons. You lied about getting into the Naval Academy. Stop your tough guy act and promoting conflict. We’ve had enough violence in the Capitol.



Love this - the law of crappy people. Reality as a leader is you can choose to hire people better than you or worse than you. The right answer should be obvious

The root cause can usually be traced to the Founders and the Culture that's coalesced around their behavior This often leads to a case of the Law of Crappy People, in which successive hires gradually decrease in quality so they don't challenge the people above/around them
