Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
White supremacist patriarchs are big mad that the majority of us don’t want to be lorded over. They keep trying their bullshit. Do not acquiesce. Keep fighting for progress.
They still don’t get that it’s not about the money or looks or ability to provide. Women can now provide on their own, so they don’t have to put up with bad behavior. So if these dudes want women’s time and attention, the answer is to fix their bad behavior. Become decent human beings.
Also, a dude can get a job and make enough money to afford a family, but if he’s still an abusive asshole who wants to lord over others, nobody’s going to want to have a family with him.
“Biblical masculinity,” says the pseudochristian. I’d like Hawley to tell me about Jesus’ masculinity. Seems to me that Jesus was way more enlightened than these knuckle-dragging, toxic patriarchical ninnies: love your neighbor, feed the hungry, welcome others, help the poor, heal the sick, etc.
Nice headline pun. Meanwhile, I’m like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NOPE.
Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.

And that all said, I hope this is another sign that Zuckerberg’s empire will soon implode.
3. I bet they’re going to do this to deter leaks and whistleblowers, especially considering the lawsuits they recently lost about their platforms, harm to children and what they knew.
… This move of tracking employees on its own, plus doing it to train AI that may ultimately unemploy them, plus the uncertainty of how stable remain positions will be, plus how evil Zuckerberg is are things that aren’t going to help them attract applicants.
2. I’ve read (and noticed) that Meta in recent years has had to start advertising jobs. According to “Careless People,” they historically didn’t have to advertise because so many people wanted to work there. That they now have to advertise says something about their company’s enshittification …
1. Using employees to teach AI how they work so that data can be used to cut their jobs
This is a hot mess in so many ways … a thread …

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪
Wowwww. Like WWE? Not actual wrestling?
It’s a badge of honor.
Reminder that to a member of the wealthy ruling class who want to lord over everyone else, anyone else’s existence or desire for freedom, equality, a decent quality life and basic human rights is “stealing” from their lordships. So if they call you a sleazebag, crooked or anything else, be proud.
Was it a cornholing championship? Or something else?

Junior was probably like, why are raccoons more endowed than me? Meanwhile, what he should have been worrying about is why raccoons are smarter, nicer and more fun at parties than him … with fewer brain worms.
He was trying to understand what was wrong with his. 😆
BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.
The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.
We are sooooo 🤬ed.
Brand survey? No. Get stuffed with this. I think of Thomas Paine and the Enlightenment.
F*** all of their “lordships” who want to drag us back to living in a dystopian hierarchy like it’s 1763 and Mad George wants us all to get in line and kiss his royal ass. Also like when Black Americans and women were considered property.
Thought for the day: Make America enlightened again.
As in …
the Enlightenment,
which is …
what we were founded on.
It’s about progress, liberty and equality, which can be achieved through rationality and empirical evidence.
Thought for the day: In a time of tyranny, defend Crew Earth. 🌍
Nothing left to say
Billions feel this way
.
Because I am absolutely effing tired of their lordships. I am absolutely a daughter of the Enlightenment.
Also, hit me up if you want to talk books.
