Nextdoor has so much potential, I was an early adopter and fan ... but the user experience these days is abysmal - high hopes they turn it around.

This was a problem 15 years ago, was effectively solved and now Twitter has eliminated all the systems in place to prevent this

Years ago while at Homeland Security, I spent a lot of time creating plans for how to use Twitter during an emergency. We knew that it could go away or just crash in a crisis ... but I didn't expect it to play out like this. Craig was right to keep AM/FM & HAM radio in the mix.

Excited to see Rewind.ai launch - a search engine for your life that runs locally on macOS. Had a chance to test drive it for a few weeks & encourage you to check it out. Looking forward to seeing Dan Siroker, Brett Bejcek & team continue to build on their vision.

Always give directly to candidates, we saw so much of this in 2020. People raising money off candidates I worked for and little to none of it would get spent to actually support them. Wish ActBlue started cracking down on these groups.

I had this same kafkaesque experience buying an iPad recently, employee told me to order it on the app for curbside pickup because I needed an appointment for him to go back and check me out.

One man arrested for impersonating DHS claimed affiliation with Pakistani intel agency and had traveled to Pakistan/Iran. They had a binder with info on residents in their apt bldg, where LE officers, defense officials and congressional staffers reside. washingtonpost.com/politics/us-ma…

He was Afghanistan's last finance minister. Now he drives for Uber in D.C., pondering what went wrong.

I’ve been arguing for a while that the data being collected and particularly how it’s presented isn’t really that useful to the public or policy makers. Throw in all these at-home tests and it’s just all noise.
