Oh no hugs.

John tells me it can be very pronounced, especially if you're trying to do things like use another bluetooth device alongside the hearing aids, and it can also be a problem when you're trying to type. He says it's mostly fine though if you're answering a call or listening to music. Hope this helps.

Sending good vibes your way Chris.

Yeah but you gotta be specific. Make a point of including *everybody*. I mean, since Elon thinks it's a good idea it must be, right?

Oh come on man you've got to swing for the fences. Include the Fortune 100's and 1000's. To do anything else is leaving money on the table.

Oops sorry about that I think I may have contributed.

Do this please.

So what you're saying is we need to fire Wednesday too.

Aw shit.

@dukepaaron @imstilljeremy @raf @littlemiao @peribotsarah @gavi @spiegelmama @tobie1 @Sibshops @fraying @jessamyn It took the American Democratic party less than a year to go from having its antisemites on the fringe to having its antisemites baked in enough to make concerns about whether or not a week-long campaign by said antisemites to take out the visibly Jewish VP pick to be absolutely valid. There are ways the Harris campaign could have handled all this, and so far the way its done so has been absolutely unserious at best and accommodating the antisemites at worst.

@imstilljeremy @raf @littlemiao @peribotsarah @gavi @spiegelmama @tobie1 @Sibshops @fraying @jessamyn Including quoting probably the second most well-known thing by non-Jews from Pirkei Avot, the other being "If not now, when?"

The fact that she even sent a third party who is not part of her campaign out to send a tweet with a screenshotted letter complete with the "asajew" formula says everything we need to know about how serious Harris is about dealing with the antisemitism in the party she now leads. And spoiler alert: She's not that serious. At all.

@imstilljeremy Exactly. I keep forgetting "asajew" is now a verb.

@imstilljeremy Also, the fact that you're sending out someone else who isn't part of your campaign, let alone you, with an at best lukewarm statement kinda sorta pinky swearing that that bigoted campaign against the only Jew in the running who holds the same views on Israel as the other guys had nothing to do with the choice, is a huge tell that you as the leader of the democratic party plan to do absolutely nothing about your major problem with antisemitism.

@imstilljeremy This.

@dukepaaron @raf @littlemiao @peribotsarah @gavi @spiegelmama @tobie1 @Sibshops @fraying @jessamyn If the Harris campaign is relying on a third party to sort of acknowledge that the bigotry happened and then provide a tepid condemnation of that bigotry, that's still an attempt to play the plausible deniability game. Would anyone find this acceptable if the Trump campaign had sent out a surrogate to make a lukewarm statement like this?

@jackf723 Jack is awesome.

Also I hope you don't mind my removing the other person in this convo. I just don't want my mentions possibly turning into a raging trashfire.

Yes. Yes it has.

That sounds like an awesome day.
