Every single Democrat serving in Congress has confirmed that they are vaccinated. cnn.com/2021/05/14/pol…

Ronny Jackson: I think you as a press have a responsibility to ask questions of the Democrats as well. How many of the Democrats are willing to say whether or not they’ve been vaccinated? https://t.co/gkKzfmCgs8

It's interesting to wonder what the world would look like if successfully combatting misinformation increased Facebook's revenue rather than being a PR thing they do to try to keep regulators at bay. A lot of smart people work there.

@rachelerman @GerritD How are people evading social media's vaccine misinfo policies? One way is coded language, like calling the vaccine "Maxine" and the dangers of "dancing" with her. One FB group called "Dance Party" has 40k members. https://t.co/KB70mJMkMW by @BrandyZadrozny & @oneunderscore__

People make a lot of fun of folks on the left who blur the boundaries between speech and violence, but as far as I can tell the Israeli government calls any efforts to pressure them about Palestinian rights - even thru not selling Cherry Garcia! - "terrorism".

Pres Herzog on Ben & Jerry's: "The anti-Israel boycott is a new form of terror, economic terrorism, terrorism that tries to harm Israeli citizens and the Israeli economy." https://t.co/RgA4upNYXK

We knew all this about Kavanaugh because we had multiple people say that they contacted the FBI and never heard back. https://t.co/TJjs8Fn3KB

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This long-delayed answer confirms how badly we were spun by Director Wray and the FBI in the Kavanaugh background investigation and hearing. https://t.co/x24NcE3KtC

Safari 15: the browser that expects the web to redesign for it.

Federico Viticci @viticci

Just another day being unable to order takeout because iOS 15 Safari’s bottom bar makes this checkout button untappable. thanks Safari for not letting me have that bruschetta 😢 https://t.co/e23YTYzGM6

John Gruber @gruber

The arrogance of this design is really something when you consider that all the sites that it breaks are sites that were designed for the way Mobile Safari previously defined the mobile web.

It's kind of funny to go out of your way to create a nontraditional college ranking methodology and then reach the conclusion that the best schools are Harvard & Yale.
