I'm considering getting back into twitter. with the proviso that i would just curate the hell out of my feed so i didn't get anyone talking about trump or posting "another day on the hell site" etc.

I dunno man... That sounds a bit like having your AA meeting in a liquor store. I don't think it can be done.

It's estimated that the Gates foundation has saved 6 million lives, and this was a few years back. They've basically undone the holocaust. Yeah, I'm ok with calling him a hero, Scott.— Podracer (@StonksOnHigh) November 7, 2019

Gates's robber baron era has given way to his mellow philanthropic era, rather like Andrew Carnegie, after he stopped shooting his workers and started giving away libraries.

bill gates has too much money, hope this helps mr. snrub; but otoh his successfully prosecuted (!) antitrust violations over bundling a shitty browser with his operating system do seem quaint in our era of feeling intense catharsis when a congresswoman speaks unusually sternly to one of the three guys who own the internet

Not exactly.
"'I’m not going to make political declarations,' Gates said. 'But I do think no matter what policy somebody has in mind … whoever I decide will have the more professional approach in the current situation, probably is the thing I will weigh the most. And I hope that the more professional candidate is an electable candidate.'"

I mean, the crux of what people are mad at him about is this:
"If I had to pay $20 billion, it’s fine,” Gates said. “But when you say I should pay $100 billion, then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over.”Sorkin asked Gates if he’d consider sitting down with the Massachusetts senator.“I’m not sure how open minded she is — or that she’d even be willing to sit down with somebody who has large amounts of money,” Gates said.

jack's moving to africa next year to get his head together and just, like, jam and shit, y'know? really just feel it
Sad to be leaving the continent…for now. Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!). Not sure where yet, but I’ll be living here for 3-6 months mid 2020. Grateful I was able to experience a small part. 🌍 pic.twitter.com/9VqgbhCXWd— jack 🌍🌏🌎 (@jack) November 27, 2019
