The United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the entire world are joined together in mourning this evening. HM Queen Elizabeth II served this country to the last. I offer my sincere condolences to the Royal Family. May she rest in peace.
With button presses it is necessary to make a trade off with volume granularity, but it shouldn’t be with voice control.

Alexa, volume 1.5.
Alexa, volume one and a half.
Alexa, volume 15%.
Sigh.
Derik M. was on the McMurdo Station in Antarctica as a US Coast Guard in 2017, when he spotted a family of penguins. Suddenly, a piece of the ice broke and the clip turned out to be one of the most thrilling ever filmed [source: https://t.co/LxfrmIwKfL]  https://t.co/B0L6S6wOqG
Our custom Amazon EDVs are officially on the road and making deliveries! Thank you @ajassy @jeffbezos, the entire @amazon team &amp; all the amazing drivers for coming together to make this possible—this type of collaboration is key to building the kind of future our kids deserve. https://t.co/EstUHUdh0y
My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril. 

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.
Brookesia micra is an unreasonably tiny species of chameleon in Madagascar and possibly the world’s smallest reptile. Scientists say its laughable smallness may be due to evolving on small inlets with few resources.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
Narrator: 23 years later eBay has the same $25B market cap while Amazon’s $22B market cap has risen almost 50X. https://t.co/RY2MeevfeS
This is so silly. The deficit is decreasing because we’re not doing pandemic aid anymore, and federal receipts are up because of inflation. Congress, or the Biden administration, didn’t do anything to lower the deficit. https://t.co/kvlLPpsUO9
You want to bring down inflation?

Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
I see a lot of organizations relying too much on slide decks relative to actual written memos for their internal communications. 

Presentations are great but prose has a unique value in clarifying thought and creating an unambiguous record.
Dyslexia holds back too many of our children in school but most importantly in life.

We are going to have the largest, most comprehensive approach to supporting students with dyslexia in the country. I'm proud of this moment. https://t.co/9B1XUz0cR5

Some mantras for political thinking:

Truth is hard.

Humility is hard.

Independent thinking is hard.

Resisting tribalism is hard.

Over and over, you will forget that these things are hard, and that's probably when you'll fail at them.

An entire generation of entrepreneurs &amp; tech investors built their entire perspectives on valuation during the second  half of a 13-year amazing bull market run. The "unlearning" process could be painful, surprising, &amp; unsettling to many. I anticipate denial. Some thoughts:
Tour de Force: New images from our #MarsHelicopter show the parachute &amp; backshell that landed @NASAPersevere.

More than eye-popping pictures, they inform the tech we'll need for safely landing future missions, including astronauts, on the Red Planet. https://t.co/UiI9Qvggji https://t.co/kGb1qWmBkQ
This Vanity Fair article on the "New Right" by @jhensonpogue is so conspicuously different because he does something so rare for modern journalism: he wrote about controversial thought/people to understand and explain it, not prove he's on the Good Side:

Apropos of something:
-Tesla's second-biggest market in 2021 was China (after the US)
-Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla's EVs.
-After 2009, when China banned Twitter, the government there had almost no leverage over the platform
-That may have just changed
As of today, Amazon now has 310 renewable energy projects across 19 countries. We're proud of the scale and speed at which Amazon is moving to help curb the climate crisis - and enable a faster transition to clean energy globally https://t.co/OX06tbWxiQ
