My dispatch from last night's long-awaited Boring Co. public hearing in Bastrop: Neighbors aired their grievances about Elon Musk's companies setting up along the Colorado River. There were cheers, jeers and a sense of relief from the overflow crowd bit.ly/3yY2buQ @MyABJ

Elon Musk has moved to Texas in a big way—even building a company town, as WSJ previously reported. But plans to dump treated wastewater into the Colorado River aren’t going over well with his farmer neighbors. w/ ⁦@thetrough⁩ wsj.com/articles/musks…

To the candidates who ran on crime in their campaign - and lost - I just want to let you know that the things that will make me feel safer are more local businesses and more street lights, not more cops.

Today’s Platformer is genuinely one of the craziest dailies I’ve ever read. It’s got like six novels worth of plot crammed into a daily beat story/email. And there was a lot it didn’t even get to! Cannot even imagine the mess that’s coming tomorrow

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan

On algorithm recognizing dark skin, @heyjemiah reminds: Maybe hand dryer not recognizing my hands seem small, but a SWAT team also showed up at my door accusing me of bank fraud.

Today @AllThingsOpen opened w/ @ceceliacreates talking about how diff types of contributions could lead to diff types of contributors. Now @EriolDoesDesign brings it back: The more we share the stage with diff ppl doing diff things, it'll become normal bc that's just what we do💯

How do you explain "belonging" to a 5 yo? Take it from an ex-elementary school teacher who hosts dance parties to create inclusive learning spaces💛 Contributing to the playlist is such a great analogy. Invite someone to add a song to the playlist 🎶

As a designer, I loved seeing @veethikaa sharing examples @AllThingsOpen on including community when making decisions in open source. Public feedback forums, documenting decisions, & kickoff videos for every milestone make up a great framework for open source projects to adopt.

Yes language matters. Inclusive language matters. Appreciate @jeromejsanders's talk today @AllThingsOpen on incorporating human rights into the software development lifecycle. 👀: cisco.com/c/en/us/about/…

Excited to be @AllThingsOpen representing @HowToOpenSource. Left some stickers at the sticker table and starting the first day here at the DEI summit.
