America: Where consumption is a religion. I mean, Carnival cruise lines today announced it'll resume service this summer. So we float Covid incubators on the oceans for weeks all so a bunch of slobs can gorge themselves at the shrimp bar?

This is not the time for Congress to go on recess. Our work isn't done. We need to force Trump to use the Defense Production Act to ramp up the development of tests and necessary equipment for health care professionals. And we need to do more to help struggling families.

I've been a Critical Care RN since 1995. ICU beds and vents running out. Coworkers crying, scared, sick....insufficient PPE. People dying alone, family cannot be with them. My last human contact before work, a Trump supporter telling me to retire, that I'm a liar. Long day ahead.

My vote 2 months from now will be for @ewarren if she’s still running. But this sensible @mattyglesias piece in @voxdotcom about @BernieSanders 2 months ago reassured me about him. If the increasing likelihood of his nomination worries you, read it. vox.com/policy-and-politics/…

I don't write about AI much anymore bc I'm consumed w/ private governance of online speech, but I had fun writing this essay for @LAReviewofBooks & the wonderful folks who invited me to speak at #UCIForumAI
❤️ to @jonshea for being my tech fact checker

If I were going to go all weak-kneed like the @nytimes, I'm not sure I would have picked the day devoted to our most clear-eyed moral leader to do it.
(Always worth remembering that the NYT editorial board slammed MLK when he came out against the Vietnam War)

Biggest news in a long time. After a ton of pressure, Blackrock--which owns more fossil fuel stock than anyone on earth--announces it will put 'climate change at the center of its investment strategy.' A huge--if by no means final--win for activists!

The New Yorker has been publishing for 94 years, and I believe this is by far the longest 'Comment'--opinion piece--they've ever run. Partly because I'm longwinded, but mostly because it offers a newish take on the greatest crisis we've ever faced
