One billionaire and three normies currently have the coolest answer to, “What are you doing this week?”

A thread on the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission and why it's the most ambitious space flight to date Image
The details:

At 8:02pm ET tonight, the four passengers will become the first all-civilian crew to go into orbit, rising about 80 miles higher than the International Space Station at the peak of their three-day joy ride. Image
Why it matters:

This mission is far more technically difficult than the other billionaires’ space flights this summer because of how much higher and how much longer the trip will take.

1/ In 2010, Steve Jobs created a seemingly innocuous meeting agenda item that would set Apple on the path to becoming the most valuable company in the world.

It's #AppleEvent day so we're taking a look at how Jobs' vision became Apple's notorious "walled garden."
2/ What is a walled garden?

It's a closed ecosystem of software and hardware products that restricts access to outside applications and content.
3/ While lots of tech companies have created walled gardens with their products and services, no one has done it as successfully as Apple.

Let’s break down how that is possible.

House Democrats are scrambling to cover the bill for their pricey $3.5 trillion budget proposal.

A thread explaining the plan they released yesterday that includes about $2.9 trillion in tax hikes.
Reality check: Unless you’re the CEO of Target or clutching your third boat, you won’t be targeted by the increases, which aim to raise money from corporations, wealthy Americans, and investors.

Here are some of the deets:
1. For bigger, profitable companies, the corporate tax rate would jump to 26.5% from 21% currently.

With the NFL season officially underway, we thought we'd do a little season preview...

a thread of Super Bowl contenders as cryptocurrencies
Kansas City Chiefs - Ethereum

The Chiefs didn't win the Super Bowl last year and ETH isn't the biggest crypto in the world, but these two are the future. They both perfectly marry power and potential.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Bitcoin

The defending champs led by the GOAT. Bitcoin and Brady may be a little old but they are far from washed. Who knows, maybe Brady IS Satoshi. We could see it.

College communication has been mostly good.

On a scale of 1–10, students gave their schools an average score of 8 in terms of clarity about Covid safety rules on campus.

President Biden’s vaccine requirement for employers grabbed all the headlines last week.

But another overlooked initiative could play a pivotal role in reducing the spread of Covid-19.

A thread on the dramatic expansion of affordable at-home testing. Image
First, what is an at-home Covid test?

Rather than having a health professional get all up in your nostrils, you can swab yourself and get the results in less than an hour.
At-home rapid tests (known as “antigen” tests) are less reliable than the lab-based PCR test, but experts say they can be an extremely useful tool for allowing life to proceed semi-normally.
