Tech sector layoffs are high relative to other industries because every other industry shrank during COVID while tech companies grew as people used tech products more during lockdown.
We’re simply seeing a reversion to mean and elimination of pandemic hiring spikes.

Tech sector layoffs are grabbing headlines, but in total layoffs are still very low.
The layoffs and discharges rate has now been below the pre-pandemic low for 20 straight months. https://t.co/2T0GQvbhbe

QAnon believers say they're fighting a pedophile cabal.
Today, I've got a story on a leading Q promoter whose ill-advised defamation lawsuit against a local paper revealed his own criminal relationship and sexually charged text messages with a teenager.

北京似乎防疫政策也在连夜改。孙春兰只字不提“动态清零”的讲话晚上新华社发出后，我所在街道微信公号突然发出通知，说明天开始阳性只十字花居家隔离，不再封楼了，而且是否去方舱要看本人意愿。

Jiang Zemin is arguably the most complicated leader of the PRC. He shepherded the market transition of China. A few major angles: 1) economic reforms: -tax reform (split of tax revenue btwn Central and local govts) and stabilized the relationship btwn central and local govts; 1/n

A lot of well-deserved dunks on the EU over this coming from American rightists — I just hope they will spare some time to praise the Biden administration & the IRA for taking the correct pro-nuclear approach. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

One way for Republicans to do better in future senate elections would be to nominate residents of the states they are running in.

In the US we consider a life to be worth $10mil.
A decade ago, 30 people were committing suicide on the bridge per year.
While the $400mil cost is absurd, it’s still a public investment with high ROI. Pays for itself in less than a year and a half. https://t.co/03ghXSWQLN

The cost of the Golden Gate Bridge suicide netting has risen to over half the bridge's original construction cost.
