Last summer I wrote a post for @bariweiss warning that financial deplatforming would be the next phase of online censorship. This has now arrived in Canada. We cannot allow it to become our future in the U.S. My latest for Bari Weiss:

Tesla’s Beta Safety Score needs work. A road curves and the forward cameras see pedestrians on the sidewalk next to the road. For a nano second they are “in front” of the car if you don’t keep turning to follow the road and decide to jump the curve. Score plunged. @elonmusk
Beautiful Charlotteville weather. Great for a run from @UVALaw through central grounds to @TJMonticello and back. A nice half marathon + little mountain run. @presjimryan

Compare and contrast Virginia to Texas. VA is still in 1b (65 and over or groups ranked ahead by “science” - read Equity or politics). @governorva @HealthyBRHD @VDHgov Time to drop the politics and just open the system.
Today Texas had the lowest reported Covid 7-day positivity rate in more than a year: 5.68%
Covid hospitalizations went down again--to the lowest level in more than 5 months.
Vaccine supplies are increasing & all adult Texans are eligible to get them beginning Monday.
Good job

again: McConnell needs to lead a delegation of GOP leaders to the White House to tell Trump that he has to resign immediately -- or they will join with Democrats and impeach him. Otherwise, fellow Americans, what you saw today will be normalized.
As a republican, I’m ashamed. Trump is a megalomaniac who should be removed from office to show he is beholden to the people not above them. Will the real republicans in congress stand up to him?

36.5 Million Americans are out of work because of this nationwide shutdown
The "cure" is officially worse than the disease.
It's time to end this lockdown
RT TO RE-OPEN AMERICA NOW!
This is actually an example of confirmation bias. If your mindset is that billionaires can pay for everything (like give every American $1 million) then you don’t think to do simple math because it agrees with your politics. Sad, stupid and scary.
This is a very *natural* mistake to make; could be part of the Cognitive Reflection Test. Our brain doesn't recognize that "million" is a scale unit.
Consider:
Mike spent 500 dollars. There are about 500 people in the room. Therefore Mike could give everyone a dollar.
If your mindset is that billionaires can pay for everything (like give every American $1 million) then you don’t think to do simple math because it agrees with your politics. Sad, stupid and scary.
Anyone know if you can apply for the #AppleCard wire iOS beta 13 with an invite or do you need to be on 12.4?

For added security does anyone know if the physical #AppleCard will be chip and pin or lame chip and signature? @Apple @marcus

Let’s see, phase out of exemptions and deductions, alternative minimum tax should be gone - that is the simplification. xitter-newx.xyz-mikolabs.workers.dev/gocurrycracker/status/…
"3 tax brackets instead of 7 is simpler" = I think Americans are stupid and will believe anything xitter-newx.xyz-mikolabs.workers.dev/titonka/status/9130572…
