Attention Washington and Oregon friends: Due to last nights hack of the voter registration system you should check your voter reg is intact and correct (when the site comes back) It could have been deleted or invalidated. Please RT.

That we are still treating “name” and “date of birth” as security credentials for online voter registration in 2020 is just crazy. Oregon’s voter registration site was literally waiting to be hacked. Its also a pretty good reason why we are a long way away from online voting.

Holy grail of YouTube...

Owning a high-intent search term, ex: "best steaming camera". That's an organic infomercial that will pay off for years

Ppl forget YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine
w/ 3 billion searches per month

Avoiding human contact from now until eternity after watching this GIF

I love that I can switch from watching home reno series on @netflix and @YouTube almost seamlessly in terms of production quality.

That's it, we go by The Kleenex of Identity now

I think at $100 difference, the cost is irrelevant. It’s if the gain in size is worth the gain in camera. For me it’s not. I’d love the longer lens and better sensor, but at the end of the day, if I need it to be awesome, I have pro gear for that. And I prefer the smaller size.

This Purrña Colada tea sold out within 30 minutes during the pre-launch! Luckily I was able to order a restock so folks can still grab it during the real launch, it will just ship late.

I think I need a form letter email with my explanation on how the system can only follow rules, all "AI" is just machine learning that creates rules by looking at the way things happened before. No it can't replace your human brain, quit asking.

One of those moments where I take a deep breath and think, Grandpa means well. Which is more than I can say for he who must not be named.

Here’s the question you ask, “Let me be clear, Mr President. You are saying you *don’t know* if America is controlled by a deep state conspiracy of satanic pedophiles? That’s your position?” #trumptownhall

"I will flat out change the law to protect Trans rights. It's that simple. There should be no discrimination."

#BidenTownHall

I’m flipping between ABC and NBC and what a contrast! Trump just admitted that he owes $400 million, and apparently that’s “peanuts” in comparison with his assets. Biden is talking about increasing equity across underrepresented neighborhoods and giving everyone a fair chance.

This Biden town hall is making a strong case that his presidency will be a ratings disaster — a lot of somewhat longwinded, detailed answers to policy questions.

Really hard to pick between the guy who wants to preserve rights of trans people vs the guy who won't denounce white supremacists.

Scene: me doing a school visit today, talking to 120 4-8th graders on Zoom about Minecraft: The End

Kid: what’s your favorite game that isn’t Minecraft?

Me: I play a lot of Animal Crossing these days!
