 @bcae8cfb @a0b872c9 I’ve said from day one his real goal is to destroy it, he has no real intent to monetize it or improve it. 

Twitter annoyed / threatened Musk as a way for the public to take him to account where he couldn’t silence the criticism. 
 @9b033548 I am at PGConf NYC and it was pretty invasive. What was interesting is that most phones went off at the same time - but one person's phone went off about 30 seconds later. Whatever network it was on must have had some delay... 
 @21dca307 @e2392785 welcome new kitties! They’re so adorable and lucky to have you! Hope you have many fun times together! 
 @40cd5708 Describing people who are playing the lottery as "suckers" is un-empathetic at best. 

I'm not going to defend the odds, but people play because they need a little hope. A few hours of daydreaming that they can get out of the rat race. 

As much as I like to take shots at the GOP, the origins & expansion of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) are bipartisan. 
 @175cd6f6 y'all need to stop suggesting more books... I have to live to be 200 to read what's on my list now! 😜 
 @9b033548 basic Gmail seems like a loss. Podcasts, not so much. There’s a pretty healthy number of options in that space.
