pro tip: if you’re having a kid, know that the gender reveal party doesn't happen until after the 18th birthday at that awkward family dinner, so don't worry about choosing a name now

As an engineer at Twitter, I can confirm that Elon Musk doesn’t understand anything about our website, or coding in general. Not gonna lie, we laugh REALLY hard about it behind his back. We’ve been calling him “the CEO,” but it stands for Code Efficiency 0.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"diana thirst" (@rlycalm) is a satirical account. "A person claiming to be a Twitter engineer ... who goes by Diana Thirst on Twitter, is a comedian who has been known to post similarly outlandish things before ..." dailydot.com/debug/twitter-… In their own words: "I write satire!" twitter.com/rlycalm/status…

Hey, if you voted in #CO03, Lauren Boebert’s district, and your ballot was rejected, you have a week to fix it! It could make the difference.

Insulin costs between $2 and $10 a vial to make, no matter what kind of insulin it is. Selling it for $300 / vial is a scam pharma companies figured they could get away with cause T2 diabetics are vilified as fat and undeserving of medicine, & T1 diabetics like myself are rare.

And I’d like to use this moment to share some *PROFESSIONAL NEWS* as well. I’m leaving @npr, after 12+ great years. My last episode of @NPRItsBeenAMin will run March 11. Here’s the note I sent to colleagues. (It’s a little long.)

If I could ask the universe for one thing as an autistic person you know what it would be? I’d ask for others to show me the same grace I work so hard to show them. Grace is a virtue the Christians claimed, but like so many other things they don’t own it.
