@SlateGabfest I’m pretty sure you’re off this week, but this article is hilarious and depressing at the same time. As a PwD I’m horrified that I might be denied SS benefits because I’m qualified to be a nut sorter it sack repairer. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
This article does a good job of describing the dunning-Krueger level stupidity of what @elonmusk asked for Friday. slate.com/technology/2022/11…
“The essential truth of every social network is that the product is content moderation, and everyone hates the people who decide how content moderation works.” cc @katieharbath theverge.com/2022/10/28/2342…
Thank you @emilybazelon for being the lone voice of reason in the Slate+ conversation about @elonmusk with your two fanboy cohosts. Content moderation is more like international diplomacy (Trolley Problems galore) than building electric toys. Just ask @katieharbath – at San Mateo, CA

RT if DirecTv needs to refund everyone a pro-rated week when the NFL Sunday Ticket app/website doesn’t work
Just in case you’re listening @elonmusk your company treats disabled people like crap
@Tesla wants to charge me $4300 to replace my drivers seat on a 10-month old 2021 Model S. I'm a #wheelchair user and must recline the seat all the way in order to get in and out. They replaced the seat motor 2 months ago @nytimestech #Tesla #disabilityinclusion

Been #smokin’ a small butt since 5am. Might just keep it open during the stall for better bark. Thoughts @GabrielSterling ? #BBQ
It’s amazing how simple most of the changes they made are. It proves that making things accessible is usually easy, and it’s all the more pathetic that most brands won’t even take these simple steps – at San Mateo, CA
Question @Slate Hang Up: My wife is a HS English teacher teaching Sports Lit for the first time. Can you recommend good books/stories beyond the usual white/cis/male canon? @byjoelanderson @stefanfatsis @josh_levin – at San Mateo, CA
I have several rules, but one of them is don’t be a shrill moron

As a victim of both gun violence and police misconduct I’d like to provide a word of caution before we tear apart the #UvaldePolice (a 🧵). While it’s likely true that the first responders didn’t do all they could, and it may be that they are cowards 1/
Instead we need to focus on the real problem, which is the proliferation of assault style weapons. Other developed nations have armed police. Other developed nations have mental illness. Other developed nations have cowardly police, and assaultive police. /7
