Might be a weird question: My boss often says "woah, turn down the volume" as a joke because I'm really quiet when doing my work. I usually just laugh it out; any witty responses I can use instead?

“I ain't loud enough. Nah, turn the Valium up!"

Yup. Harassment. Ask him why he keeps saying that. And if he replies that he is only joking then ask him if he heard anyone laughing.
I can’t stand insecure people like that.

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?
