Pretty impressive — the free covid test ordering site is taking orders now, a day *ahead* of the announced launch. (I wonder if this is a test for all users or just some users?) https://t.co/aFmwzZ0Eqn https://t.co/uZ0zmVqhXc

I know this makes me a cranky old man, but when I look up how to do stuff on the Internet, I want to read an article that’s maybe 600 words that I can skim. I definitely do not want to watch a YouTube video that’s been padded out to 10 minutes to feed the monetization algorithm.

Most of what gets shared as heartwarming stories are usually temporary, small-scale responses to systemic failures. I wish we found it just as inspirational to make structural changes to unjust systems, but I don't know if our culture knows how to tell those stories. ~ @anildash

The image is a screenshot of a tweet written by Anil Dash (@/anildash) that reads: "If they scrolled the names of the Americans who died in this pandemic the same way U2 did for victims of 9/11 during the Super Bowl in 2002, they would have to stop the game & run names on the screen for twelve and a half hours."
