This shit is out of control. We should not have to give our personal information to make a purchase

Think of 2 acres, now think of 100,000 times that of jungle. Lost a day. Incredibly sad statistic.
The #AmazonRainforest is losing 200,000 acres a day
"The #Amazon is dying. Entire genetic libraries and symphonies of species–trees, birds, reptiles, insects and more, eons in the making, fine-tuned by natural selection–are being wiped out."

this msg, I would be so grateful if you could wish her well and strength for the fight that lies ahead of her. Her name is (also) Elizabeth, and she lives in Cincinnati. B/c of the stroke she was unable to cast her ballot this year, but is pleased with the outcome. Thank you(2/2)

Attending what I expect to be an awesome 3-day symposium on the Future of Meetings. Participants from every continent (except #Antarctica). Skill and comfort with collab tech has exploded in the last 6 months, but there's no going back - come join the discussion. #TFOM

Check out our new work by @AntonAASmith and @HenrietteAutzen in @Chem_CP! Awesome collaboration with @yifan_ucsf @AlmarPostma @shaunchoward Bryan Faust @CSIRO Andy Spakowtiz @StanfordEng developing highly ordered copolymers for improving lipid nanodiscs cell.com/chem/fulltext/S2451…
I don't know much about the President's sister, but she seems like someone I'd like to have a drink and b*tch session with. We all have one of those relatives that's good to sit down for a dish (dis?) session.

Our ultrafast insulin work in @ScienceTM is a great example of everything awesome that can come out of international collaborations. Thanks @AlmarPostma @shaunchoward and Ben Muir @CSIRO for working with @JosephLMann and @AntonAASmith to make some killer polymers!
This work would not have been possible without @CSIRO (@AlmarPostma, @shaunchoward Ben Muir), who hosted and helped @AntonAASmith and I synthesize our first library of RAFT polymers with their knowledge and expertise of @Chemspeed's Swing XL auto synthesizer!
Honestly @HoytsAustralia where does it end? I've been watching (literally) your pre-movie adverts growing year after year but now we're up to 23 minutes of advertising. At a kids movie. #hoyts #honestsessiontimes #toomanypreviews

I'm so tired of the the lead-in words "Breaking News..." it no longer has any meaning. Can we just do away with it or abbreviate it?

I wish someone would make a reverse filter for social media photos so that I could recognise more people when I see them in the real world. I've seen Disney characters with more lines on their faces.

Ever wonder what @GameOfThrones would look like if it were recast with @TheMuppets? Fear not @netflix has you covered with the new @darkcrystal series.
Nothing in life has prepared me for the honour of having a breakfast dish named after me at one of my favourite cafes.
Shaun's biscuits and gravy with fried eggs...
Biscuits and gravy is a popular breakfast dish in the United States, especially in the South. The dish consists of soft savoury biscuits (scones) sausage gravy topped with fried eggs
