In the last 24 hours, Twitter has lost the Chiefs of Trust & Safety, Sales, Information Security, Compliance, and Privacy. The head of legal is on record warning employees about the risk of legal exposure if they follow Musk’s orders. It’s a total loss of confidence.

Eli Lilly stock isn’t just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk’s hellscape, it’s tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free.

That’s why other insulin stocks are falling too.

To do this so abruptly & just expect people to adjust schedules, child/elder care, monthly expenses etc asap to adhere to this in a matter of HOURS as if they didn’t have 2+ yrs at an org that championed flexibility & self care and made life decisions based on that. I’m furious. https://t.co/j1lMtZvWt2

Twitter is struggling to respond to political misinformation and other harmful posts on the social media platform after Elon Musk fired roughly half of its workforce just days before the U.S. midterm elections.

Mediaite reporting that Tiffany Cross calling Florida the “dick of the country”
that should be “castrated” was “an example of the sort of commentary that led to” MSNBC cutting ties https://t.co/bXRbUKtkz6

With NYC’s salary law now in place, I’ve been looking at some companies’ salary ranges, & I can already see that the “good faith” part of the law is going to be tested.

A salary range of $50,000 to $145,000 is deeply unserious. (This is the New York Post Tech Reporter role, btw) pic.twitter.com/dstqZSI2Iq

Landlords are going on a capital strike, holding thousands of units vacant while homelessness reaches Great Depression era levels. Clearly a profit driven system will never solve the housing crisis. We need social housing and tenant control.

There are folks who are experiencing homelessness and have a job. Having a job is not some magical title that makes everyone upper-middle class. Telling our unhoused neighbours to “just get a job” is ridiculous.

There are 61,000 SF housing units, rentals included, that are sitting empty on any given day for one of a variety of reasons, and putting even a fraction of these into service as supportive housing would solve homelessness in the city overnight. https://t.co/Uc3L0owoNP
