    once I yelled to a man in the road, “hey man, watch out for that bus, it’s gonna hit you!” he moved out of the way, and the bus drove on by. a bit later he was like, “wow, man, you sure were wrong about that bus.”
    Why were experts wrong when they said U.S. hospitals would be overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients? Doctors and hospital officials share their perspectives. propub.li/3fZrwJn

    they do this for the same reason they ask you for your birthday 800 times -- it's annoying, but evidence is that if you want to avoid missing a rare event (messing up who someone is, missing a trafficked child), gotta make it routine maybe you know that and are just trolling.

    One of many things I hate about election season is the constant reminder that both our democracy and our perception of what democracy is about is constant quantization errors and arbitrary lines on a map.

    our interfaces make us all liars
    Anytime we click “I have read and agree to these terms and conditions” we are lying. Someone needs to look out for what is happening to our data. @ddpforall #prop24 @caprivacyorg

    “There is a myth that non-disabled people are independent and disabled people are dependent. We are all interdependent. Many of you like drinking coffee, very few of you grow your own beans” … from a great opening keynote at #assets2022 by @HabenGirma

    check out this picture from an @Airbnb I recently stayed at in Seattle -- notice anything concerning? if you manage to spot it, that's great, because Airbnb considers this photo to be proper disclosure… 1/n
