I TOLD YALL. YALL GONE LET YALL HATRED FOR TRANS PPL BE THE REASON LEGISLATION GETS PASSED THAT AFFECTS YOU. So here it is Florida is attempting to pass a bill that says doctors can deny you care under the guides of “free speech” if they feel the person “isn’t consistent with… https://t.co/N85Vud40jy https://t.co/tYnJjcUcp9
Absolutely crazy. Today the Texas Senate passed a bill to force every public school classroom in the state to prominently display a copy of the Ten Commandments.
They also passed a bill to set prayer and bible reading times during the school day. https://t.co/3gSb3Ibj1j
So what does this lifelong Chicagoan want to see now?
For everyone to put “egos,” “preconceived notions,” “campaign slogans” and “puffed-up rhetoric” to the side. It's time for solutions, she said.
“We need to do real investigative thinking into what these kids need.” (10/11)
it is CRAZY that we’re expected to treat these Mandalorian scripts like deliberate, normal television and not the hasty scribblings of a man clearly at some sort of spa resort
I think being a billionaire would legit make you insane from never being able to know if someone actually wants to be your friend or not.
The power of money would transform even old relationships - it would be hard to hold on to anything I think.
First, there's the gun violence. Red states have all but abolished gun laws, and are awash in firearms. The result: lots more death, both in terms of murders and suicides. We see people randomly blowing away innocent strangers all the time. 2/n https://t.co/ngFgEVyiEY
when i did a good parallel parking job and then thousands of people told me i deserved to be imprisoned or killed for being ableist (?) and then barack obama wrote that i was an example of online bullying going too far........ https://t.co/qcTGEttVeA https://t.co/3DjZi21kHf
the best and worst thing about the recent Bond era was how much they “borrowed” from the darkly cerebral, subjective and moody vibe that both Villeneuve and Christopher Nolan are known for—what Bond badly needs right now are fresh voices and a new take https://t.co/bZXZZnd6tY
Clarence Thomas: Sorry about my ineptitude filling out these forms. Fixed it! nbd.
Also Clarence Thomas: Too bad your lawyer was incompetent but you made a mistake filing your appeal so that death sentence is still good. Sorry!
1. “The Supreme Court is hopelessly divided.” Actually, over the last decade, 43% of all SCOTUS decisions were 9-0 *unanimous* decisions. In 2021-2022, roughly 60% were 9-0, 8-1, or 7-2 decisions. https://t.co/X3KW44oM0F
Two articles on the front page of today’s New Orleans Times-Picayune. One about a new memorial to the victims of the 1873 Colfax Massacre. Another on how the Louisiana GOP wants to stop colleges from teaching about “inglorious aspects” of US history - like the Colfax Massacre. https://t.co/ELQXHxMmxe
I’ve told it so many times in interviews, podcasts, etc that I’m worried people who have followed me for a while are sick of hearing it by now. I’ll do a condensed version in a thread though: https://t.co/HzvEgxUYx2

Now, you might say, we have TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc. Sure, we do. But those are filtered through their own bottleneck: an algorithm that sorts their content. And if you want to see what kind of culture emerges from an algorithmic feed, go look at a Facebook cooking video.
Twitter, pre-Musk, pre-all of this, meant that if you were young, inexperienced, from a marginalized background, or just a huge weirdo, those important people might see your stuff. And crucially, they would see your stuff BEFORE it was sanded down in that editorial bottleneck.
I keep waiting for someone else to make this point but it hasn’t happened yet. Or I haven’t seen it yet. Discovery on here sucks now. But there’s a very profound thing that Twitter provides creative industries that isn’t traffic. And when it’s gone, oh boy, are we gonna feel it…
