  4. There's some "and nothing surprising happens" baked into this model, but the point about boosters averting deaths is robust. Get your boosters now, or four months after your most recent shot. @ProfessorCrunk/1580882258483118080

  16. What's stands out to me from the NYT profile piece on Russian trolls targeting @womensmarch / @lsarsour is how much it followed the "divide and disrupt" playbook from COINTELPRO. Sarsour was bad jacketed, rumors were invented and amplified, divisions were reinforced.

  23. When a major industry is led by people pursuing a collective delusion (in this case, Silicon Valley and secession of the rich), it's politically relevant to understand it. Very curious to read @rushkoff's book. 👇 @doctorow/1569642099359760385
