US cases “are now flat or falling almost everywhere ... we still think that a 50% vaccination rate is a decent bet for the end of this month. At 60%, which we hope to see by July, Israel's experience suggests that Covid essentially disappears.” @PantheonMacro

This is great news, and we'll be able to get a fair bit higher with the vaccine approval down to 12 year olds

I get that we're all trained to believe farmers are humble little broke folks. But we're all grown adults who can look at the data, remember the median farmer is a millionaire, and stop throwing them pity parties.

I would *like* to think we're all adults who can look at data...

“All by itself, the F-Series full-size pickup truck franchise within Ford Motor Co. is so big that it would make the list of Fortune 100 companies. .. ‘It is impossible to overstate the economic significance of the Ford F-150 to Ford and to the U.S. economy.’” $F

Ford to reveal new all-electric F-150 Lightning in livestream event May 19 https://t.co/Jf8fHQiILF

There's a trivia trick I like, where I ask the most popular car amongst Americans making over 150K. (It’s the Ford F-150). Then I ask the most popular car amongst those making over 250K (Ford F-150 again).

wow *CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR SAYS STATE HAS A $75.7 BILLION BUDGET SURPLUS

Dang, that's a lot of money. Seems like they’re forced to send it back to Californians. I suppose it’s a good moment to do stimulus.

Idea for the 6th (?) year running: make overall body thicker so as to have no camera bump. Use extra thick for larger battery. Call THAT the iPhone Pro MAX. 🔋📲 https://t.co/3dUMgfiIBj

iPhone 13 Models Will Be Slightly Thicker and Will Have Larger Camera Bumps https://t.co/7sUwJscTN6 by @julipuli https://t.co/MeQ7pcoARM

I'm with Siegler, I really don't care for the camera bump. But I also like the iPhone Mini, which is apparently quite unpopular with the general public.

Some schools are trying to get rid of snow days and replace them with distance learning. It's a crime against childhood! We cannot let this stand! youtube.com/watch?v=-FBwZt… #SaveSnowDays

We never had snow days, but we had a few storms that were bad enough that we got to stay home. I’ve never seen Grey so angry, look at those little eyebrows. Also worth noting again, distance learning has been found to be next to useless.
