A decision on SB-1047 is due soon. Governor @GavinNewsom has said he's concerned about its "chilling effect, particularly in the open source community". He's right, and I hope he will veto this. If you agree, please like/retweet this to show your support for VETOing SB-1047!

Let's talk about the rapid rise in credit card debt. 🧵 I'm normally allergic to graphs where the Y-axis doesn't start at zero, but still, you can see this is a 24% increase over ~18 months. People in credit card debt are getting hammered right now.
