So it wasn't that I decided that I needed more incentives to think in 140 characters, but its prevalence is making me try it out anyway.

Views belong to no one, they evolve and spread on their own.
- Replying to @GothamChessThis tweet is only 11 minutes old and Hikaru already has a video recap of the game up.
- Replying to @CarmineSabia and @RepRaskinDid he let the wrong people get a hold of the 11 herbs and spices?
- Replying to @marshalPushing a story about how you sold what appears to be a 3% lead product to thousands of people extremely profitably and with no warning labels puts a bullseye on you for plaintiff’s lawyers that could outweigh any of the benefits of this self promotion. Good luck!
- Replying to @xwanyex and @wanyeburkettOne fun piece of advice for younger engaged/married couples “If you like yourself and you like your partner, you shouldn’t wait to have kids. You should be excited to meet them as soon as possible and have them in your life for as long as possible.”
- Something that is very underrated: Going to a foreign country and following along with a friend as they do certain chores around town. No one wants to subject their friends from abroad to this, but getting a little window into what life is like is really fascinating.
- Replying to @eigenrobotThe main takeaway from this article is that Hanania is a snake who is willing to talk to journalists about the group chats he was in.
- When you have a fictional universe with a dedicated following it makes sense to monetize it across multiple platforms.NEW: The New York Times has 10 scripted TV show projects in development, as well as 3 feature documentaries coming out this year and several other docs in development and production, executives tell Axios. axios.com/new-york-times…
- Imagine if academics in the 50s didn’t just have to sign a paper stating that they weren’t a communist and were loyal to the US, but were required to give evidence of how they were fighting communism in the school and around the country…Thread: Universities increasingly require DEI statements for not only hiring but also promotion and tenure (see below). In many cases, the rubrics for evaluating those statements test for whether candidates display the right "values." For example, UC Berkeley's rubric.
- Replying to @businessThe headline makes it sound like a family owed $1.6B without having liquid assets and a grad fixed this tough problem. But no, a family had a liquid $1.6B and apparently wasn’t sure what to do with it and their kid in college had ideas.
- Unpopular opinion: There are actually lots of interesting unpopular opinions on this platform, but a system dependent on retweets and likes isn’t going to surface an actual unpopular opinion into your feed unless people are dunking on them.
- Replying to @tszzlThe first USB thumb drive. Coated stents. Infrared fever detectors. Hainanese chicken rice.
- Replying to @SonnyBunchWell, there are apparently a bunch of influencers who pushed their followers to get fake PPP loans. You can also find short videos from these types on how to start shell corporations to qualify for SBA loans that they never try to pay back. This was just the natural next step…
- It would be really nice to have a charter city for refugees. No Western country wants to take in enough people to make a difference, but there should still be a place they could escape to with Western style rule of law.
