Every time you say β€œwe should improve transit infrastructure somewhat” you get people like this arguing as if we’re taking their cars away by force.

All this, also when censorship is on the rise, BIPOC and Queer work is being attacked, banned and erased, humanities programs are being shuttered.
And attacking is not like valid critique or social commentary.

You don't have to read things you don't like but you can read the room.

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke β€œexperts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

Disney's facing an open letter from shareholders demanding they lay bare all actions and emails surrounding Kimmel's suspension on the grounds that the C-suite and board may have violated their responsibility to fiduciary loyalty and care... and I truly love that for them. Wishing them the worst. πŸ’‹

β€œWe are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
