BREAKING: Music superstar Dave Matthew infuriates Republicans by ripping lawmakers for falsely convincing Americans that they are "powerless" to stop gun violence and that the “vulnerability of innocent people in this country is a sacrifice we have to make if we want to be truly American.”
“It’s so mind-bogglingly cruel. It’s insanity,” said Matthews.
“I have no idea how people can stand up and say it’s ‘not guns’ and ‘NRA,’ it’s just mental health," he went on. "And then do nothing to address the fact that from the ‘80s we’ve closed every mental health institution we can in this country."
Matthew said that he has "many" friends who own firearms but they all agree that the would prefer that "a person can’t go into a school and blow people away after buying a gun.”
He then took aim squarely at right-wing paranoia and Fox News talking points by saying that "no is coming from your guns" but that we need a "conversation without mad outrage" about what can be done.
“I don’t like being afraid of my children being murdered at school. I’ve had to deal with my kids being at university when there is a shooting and they’ve lost friends,” he added.
Retweet to thank Dave Matthews for taking a stand!

"The AI euphoria offers a mask for just how bad the rest of the startup industry really is. There is a reality that this AI hype cycle handed investors exactly what they wanted- an excuse to get back to momentum investing"

🔥 If you read one thing about AI this week, let it be Google’s leaked doc
“We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per the source, the internal document is the opinion of a "researcher within Google" and not necessarily Google's view.

We had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004 that prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons and banned magazines with 10 rounds or more.
Mass shootings dropped during that decade.
We did it once and should do it again.

We loved working with @conroylab on this project and would love to work with you, too! You can check out your message type options and test them on your own device with our Engage Planner. Log into your Fitabase account or email [email protected] to get started!
We recruited insufficiently-active young adults, gave them smartwatches with a custom clockface by @Fitabase and pushed out a random number of prompts each day. Prompts either asked (self-monitoring) or told (behavioral feedback) them about their activity level in the past 2 hrs

hi, are you doomscrolling? If you need to burn off nervous energy, what about doing some laundry, washing the dishes, or watering some plants if you have them? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

Hi @Gap. I'm Jewish & @kanyewest hates me so I don't really appreciate this advertising in my inbox. Not sure why you are continuing to promote this collaboration. I don't plan on shopping at your stores ever again.

If the GOP was really the party of business, give everyone healthcare, and we will start small businesses *tomorrow.*
