"are you enjoying duo mobile" does a hamburger enjoy being made of quarks. does a fish enjoy linear time. does the mountain enjoy the first taste of a cup of hot chocolate when you get back to the ski lodge. your question means nothing to me. i couldn't enjoy duo mobile even if i tried

JUST IN: A tidal wave of 30,000 students hit the streets in Charlotte, walking out to confront ICE with sheer numbers and zero hesitation.

This is a generation refusing to be controlled.

I miss what they used to be, and wish I saw what they were like before I was born… but there are still corals around! Please don’t give up on them! Don’t give up on us!

A quote by Greta Thunberg stating that, "The one thing we need more than hope is actoin. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere."

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

Sure looks like it. It's why I am immediately suspicious of anyone who starts complaining about "cancel culture" unprompted.

Aside from content, can we talk about the difference between the abstract and the lay summary?

I like the straight forward sentences in lay summary but also liked having some of the details in the abstract. How can we balance two? Or do they have to be separate?

Oscar Isaac Was β€˜Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to β€˜Star Wars’ if Disney Does β€˜Not Succumb to Fascism’ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

Dems: We'll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor.

Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we'll take food away from poor families.

I know it’s boring, but this Christmas could y’all stop buying plastic shite that’s been transported on planes and dirty ships halfway around the world only to break by next winter and be in landfill.

Just that one thing from everyone would help.

What people NEED to survive has never been adequately funded by the US government.

What people need to THRIVE has never
even been considered by the US government.

The system has always been rigged, and current actions are super turbo charged rigging the system against us.

How artists behind Marvel, Alien, and the Matrix movies are fighting AI With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.

With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.
