Got this in my email. @MrBeast Data breach at your BeastGames agency. Only way to get my email. Clearly a phishing attack. But very impressive they nailed your voice with AI. The YouTube account they hosted the audio at was (mbstaff). They asked for $1000

Flying @AlaskaAir today. I was downgraded from first class because of an inoperable seat. Not a big deal. Turns out the seat was fine. They lied to seat with someone else. They offered was a $50 voucher when I called them out. Mechanical can happen but lying should not.

#joke How are Elon Musk and the Pope the same? They both strive to lift humanity out of this world.

Vita's rescue/extraction hook is real life James Bond tech. Quickest way out from behind enemy lines. Imagine an elevator to a fixed wing airplane circling the extraction target's position. This is real! https://t.co/zG0ERTmpJQ

Reporting the facts is not simply reporting what both sides say. Go deeper and find people that oppose the claims of both sides. Draw attention to hypocrisy. Shine the light on claims that don't stack up with examples.

<<Subtweet warning>> Reporters: STOP writing "these people claim XYZ is true, while their opponents say QRS is what's really happening." Your job, friend, isn't just to report who says what, but to INVESTIGATE and publish truth. Reality exists. Write about it. 🙄

Time to double! $osur hit a HUGE government contract for $512 million. I think we are going to $20+ a share from $12 @orasure hasn't announced it yet. But check the link I posted to public government contract. Perhaps $30 this is HUGE!

Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 504 To me, the most confusing time in the pandemic was May 2020, as we exited lockdown and nobody quite knew what they should & shouldn’t do (clean the mail? touch the dog?). But now is giving May 2020 a run for its money. (🧵1/25)

Founders with a small exit in their first company were much more likely to build a unicorn in their next
