I learned keyboarding on an eMate 300. now *that* was an aesthetic. I miss when computers were allowed to be quirky and your choices for a desktop weren't between business and a rave-box.

I am Jewish and I’ve been hating AIPAC longer than you have, I promise. AIPAC isn’t why Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t support Medicare For All anymore. And if you imply it is, I think you just like blaming Jews for things. And as a Jew, that makes me feel unsafe with you. I hope you care about that.

Fuck AIPAC but they’re not the only bad guy. When I post about a Democrat sucking, and y’all go right to AIPAC, it’s really testing the antisemitism fence and I’m tired of having to parse that shit. Centrist Dems suck for more than one reason, and if you go right to Jews, you’re not helping.

Me saying that Gates easily has $4 billion to make up the USAID cuts is not the fucking same thing as saying the USAID cuts were fine what the ever loving fuck is wrong with you people.

NYPD is prohibited from assisting ICE operations, but they routinely flout that law by framing it in the context of “crowd control” and “ensuring the safety of the public,” despite said “control” helping ICE to detain and disappear New Yorkers. Source to video: www.instagram.com/p/DcCmZa2jZq8/

I would slash my per-episode budget and make a Star Trek show that runs 26 episodes per season.

youve got 5.6 billion to make a 7 season 56 episode show airing over 15 years, wdyd

The Disney+Hulu app is so fucking weird because the landing page is like Camp Rock 3, The Bluey Movie, The Tupac Murder Trial, Dying for Sex, American Horror Story, and Mickey’s Country Farm Songs

Being a fact checker for a decade at a national magazine sure did shine a pretty big spotlight one this! We cleaned up the shitty work of ALOT of prominent reporters you’d never expect and saved their asses from so much shit. Less prominent writers just didn’t get more work from the publication.

I keep thinking about this story. It's unusual to get such specific data illustrating how some writers get a very different set of filing standards, opportunities, and second chances — especially in a very challenging job and freelance media market — and which other writers do not.

Since it came up elsewhere, it’s always a good time to nudge it again:

Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:

It's disturbing how many people are just absorbing anti-semitic propaganda without questioning it....

I had post-exertion fatigue from going to the museum yesterday (a thing that happens to people with chronic illness and not just “oh I need a nap”) and I slept from 6 pm to like 4 am and now it’s 6 am and everything is gonna be real fucking weird and off for the next 24 hours.

Wait. WAIT!! They finally killed the thing where you have to hit reply twice before you can actually reply!!!!

BECAUSE THEY’RE PUSHING YOU PROPAGANDA AND DISINFORMATION OF COURSE they’re happy to talk to you! Lies are only worth something if they spread.

Especially if you need CBD for your pup, this is the best deal out there. My local shop was selling stuff for like $80 a bottle. Stock up from my pal who did the for real Green Acres thing and lovingly produces solid product.

Organizing has been SUCH a fight for rideshare workers and you KNOW corps are going to try to run out the clock when it comes to negotiating a contract.

If Uber and Lyft resort to the stalling tactics corporations commonly use to block higher pay and better working conditions, gig workers will still have a fight on their hands.

Rogan does this once or twice a year. Endorses something progressive and then tells everyone to vote for Trump anyway. It’s not the first time he’s done this and it won’t be the last.

It’s so funny adults keep relentlessly doing this when for time immemorial youth culture has influenced fashion. Kids are and have always been at the cutting edge of trends. Someone slap me if I ever become one of these kinds of adults.
