In order to watch the whole clip of Summer Lee I had to finally watch RFK Jr.... I don't know how anyone who hears him can imagine he should hold a job, much less this one.
And he seems to say the quiet part under his breath: he wants to abolish DEI *because* DEI saves Black lives.
I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Rule 5 “Everyone can be conned” writ large.
maybe this is a guerilla campaign to make people learn you can chat here because I had legit no idea
Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.
People should actually be very alarmed that while AP's business model is shot to bits, Americans are still very much reliant on the news it delivers. The alternatives in some cases are inferior or non-existent.

I think the current Administration (or at least some people in power within it) knows that very well. They want the bloodbath.
I think especially because the news media has recently demonstrated what "we think the president is incompetent and that he should not be in office" looks like in how they covered Biden post-debate and don't do the same for Trump
So can we fucking opt out then??
Mind you, federal income taxes are the lowest they’ve been in generations AND we have the biggest income and wealth gap since the Napoleonic Wars AND the social safety net in America is an absolute shambles
A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

you know what was cool? those crazy sugar eggs you could get on easter back in the day with a little panorama inside of a lake with ducks or rabbits or whatever
Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.
If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.
And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.
Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for!
If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.
Bethany Andres-Beck, a white person with short hair and a goatee wearing a wool overcoat, smiles in front of the flags in downtown Salem. In the center is the American flag, and then the eleven other flag poles all have the trans flag flying.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
I am here, queer, and clear that we need better politics.
Lets make next session the least-gendered Congress ever!

dogs don't get called "it" as much as transsexuals do
that's right
You live long enough as a trans person, and you begin to learn when people are talking about you without talking about you. Family members discuss your "situation" in hushed tones. People try to figure out what your whole deal is while you're standing right in front of them. You become no longer a person, but a "controversial topic" to be litigated. This is how Texas A&M talks about real people and real students. I'm now faced with the dilemma of holding a degree from an institution of learning that may discipline professors for teaching that people like me exist.
something i wrote earlier this month but this sort of applies to just being trans in general it feels: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
I do not think you should screenshot a bunch of trans women who were mean to you and post them to your 100k+ followers.
Especially not on TDoV, and especially not in the current political climate (where trans people are actively being removed from society)
Little has no shame. As trans Idahoans stood out front for a TDOV rally, Little signed HB752. There is not bottom to their hate.
We deserve so much fucking better than this. All love to our trans and gender expansive. Know you are not alone. Find the care and support you need tonight. Love you.
i feel like it’s time to retell a story about what it is like in a country that doesn’t have birthright citizenship.
so for a while, i worked for a pretty cool project created by the urban planning department at the uni i attended in hamburg. the project was called the Neighborhood University.
You know you've made some peak new tech when you have the exact same fine print disclaimers as Miss Cleo.
oh. yeah. wow.
I sometimes wonder how much damage has been done just by treating people with ADHD as drug seekers first
