Meanwhile my employer is more straightforward: “If your role does not require you to be in the office, please plan to work remotely. This includes anyone who has been coming in voluntarily in the past few months.” — PolitiTweet.org

NYC schools aren’t officially closing. Instead staff are sending notes to parents telling them that they understand if they don’t want to send their kids to school. https://t.co/IGctpYNpTV — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp @steepdecline Yes then we get to your point: If NFTs are going to become ways to consume music - as opposed to giving artists extra revenue $ via fan clubs (which is great!) - then someone has to centralize that service. Like a Spotify! — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@steepdecline @DKThomp Yup. But that’s a discussion about the way the recorded music industry (still) works, not Spotify’s role. (It also happens to work very well for with artists with leverage - that is, enough longevity to have made lots of valuable music they fully own: https://t.co/AQseFTCSwV) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DKThomp This kinda thing. https://t.co/O5WU7d507E — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DKThomp Yes. But that’s a separate discussion. I’m just thinking about Spotify getting lumped alongside Twitter/Google/Facebook “you are the product” rhetoric. Users pay Spotify who passes most of that $ to people who own the product. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Spotify - and not the people who actually own music rights - as a Web3 punching bag is a weird one. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@JamesSurowiecki Yes. https://t.co/EDEVfgmtOP while they’re at it they should stop telling people not to leave their homes - clearly a good thing to get fresh air and exercise, and people will do it anyway. Give people realistic, practical advice they can follow instead of rules they’ll ignore — PolitiTweet.org

@katierosman @FlipBlue2022 Not all is lost but the horses have definitely left the barn. What *can* be done is a rethink of the quarantine policies to reflect the fact that 1) cases will be sky high and 2) very mild in most cases — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Reminder that the NYC Covid case numbers you read about are undercounting reality: In order to be counted you need to wait in line for a PCR test - and then wait days for the results. Your home tests don’t show up in the official tallies. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Reads like the standard pay tv programmer vs distributor fight we’ve seen forever, with the same results. Programmers need distribution and distributors need programming, so they end up with a deal. https://t.co/nbEyOZz4cH — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaraJeffery Minus the mass death and overwhelming. debilitating fear. Plenty of both, to be sure! But very different vibe. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Ok so maybe all of won’t get infected? Or we will but won’t be tested? Or 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Now that we’re all in one of two groups - infected or about to be - can we have some real talk about the 10 day quarantine rule, which is really just a guess? https://t.co/HM6NPbQh3U — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@edmundlee Yup that’s the arb play. Farther west you go from the Hudson, the cheaper and more plentiful. Having some couried over from Arizona next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@dcopaken @theeashleyray @CDCgov Yeah we went 10 days ago, when lines were just starting to form again. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@dcopaken @theeashleyray @CDCgov Yeah I dragged the kids to a mobile lab just so we could get their results into the system so their school could officially start its protcols. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@dcopaken @theeashleyray @CDCgov You probably know this already but NYC test and trace has no interest in your at home results or even rapid tests. Pcr only. — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyRomm Ending my 10 day quar today. Cheers and happy tweeting! I hope it brings you comfort. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@TonyRomm No. The seatbelt analogy is self-testing before you attend a gathering. Differentiate between things that help and things that are theater. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@TonyRomm NYC has lots of masking, lots of vax requirements, lots of covid. Unless you’re going to shutter restaurants and bars, ban indoor gatherings etc, this is going to spread. — PolitiTweet.org
