They did actually upgrade the turf over the offseason after complaints last year. The players all prefer a grass field and have been pushing for all NFL stadiums to be grass, but just wanted to make that correction about the turf.

No guarantee that injury doesn't happen on grass either. There were some non contact injuries on grass this week as well (JK Dobbins for Baltimore tore his Achilles on a grass field).

(I do support push for grass fields)

A new playing surface has been installed at MetLife Stadium, where the previous turf had become an object of widespread criticism in recent years.

@jmiers230 I too was surprised how almost every justice was either confused by the arguments presented or fundamentally disagreed with them. Makes me wonder why the case was even taken?

Either Mike or Jess. Can you help me by shortly explaining or pointing me into a direction that more simply explains just how removing/altering 230 protections would lead to *more* harmful content on the internet? I think I understand, but I have a hard time putting it into words when discussing it with friends. Thanks!

@mmasnick I listened along to this while working and it was actually absurd how many times it was noted there was no pressure from government agencies regarding the laptop story. There was even a congresswoman who didn't even ask a question during her full 5 minutes! How's that even allowed?

@yoyoel long time Twitter lurker that never actually tweeted. I'm an independent (not that it matters) and have been reading all of the Twitter files and just wanted to say that I admire the way you handled almost everything when at Twitter and now. The posted screenshots from the Twitter files and your testimony at these hearings have only showed you as an honest, rational person doing their job.
