Maybe I want to call because I type slowly on a phone.

This is pretty wild. China is being swept by rumors of imminent war, and it's actually affecting their economy. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Hopefully this accidental preview reduces the chances of war.

Crazy Rich Asians really changed the way Hollywood saw Asian men in terms of romantic leads AND Christmas movies!

Love Hard was being recommended on Netflix, seems cute enough so far. We haven't watched a romantic comedy in a long time.

I’m in the Atlanta airport at the moment and the tension is palpable. There is no reason loaded firearms should be allowed in this airport.

An unintentional gun discharge in the Atlanta airport caused mass panic today among passengers who thought there was an active shooter. In 2014, Georgia lawmakers passed a NRA-supported “guns everywhere” law allowing loaded guns inside airports. #gapol https://t.co/fmUnV4GA3f

That's an unusually stupid law, I had not heard about it previously.

Urban Environmentalists @UrbanEnviroCA

The US is 4% of global population and 11% of all global climate pollution, but a whopping 33% of climate pollution from passenger cars and trucks. 🤯 It's also (along with Canada) the only place single family zoning is prevalent.🤨

Look at that San Jose map!
