Almost half of Fortune 500 companies were founded by American immigrants or their children, and more than half of unicorns (private companies worth more than $1 billion) are founded by immigrants. https://t.co/x77zymDLCv #nomercynomalice #4thOfJuly

Born Annie Mae Bullock in Nutbush, TN, she picked cotton as a child. At 18, she was discovered by musician Ike Turner. He hired her, married her and renamed her Tina Turner. They would be the "Ike and Tina Turner Revue." https://t.co/FdVgi4ohsF

Didn’t realize I was so emotionally attached to that little blue check mark.

Today we remember the 22 people killed on April 18 and 19, 2020, in a terrible act of violence that shook our province. We join Nova Scotians who continue to grieve the lives lost in this tragedy, thinking especially of the families and communities who lost loved ones.

@PayGapApp may be one of my favourite Twitter accounts still left. Love to see this kind of hypocrisy called out.

In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 12.5% lower than men's. The pay gap is 1.5 percentage points smaller than the previous year.

Why are my Twitter notifications now so insanely unhinged and my DMs full of spam and hack attempts? I miss old Twitter. And yes, I’m aware I’m late to the party on this.

For a decade, humanities enrollment has plummeted. What’s going on? In this week’s @NewYorker, I report at two campuses—ASU and Harvard—and ask “what it might mean to graduate a college generation with less education in the human past” than any before. https://t.co/lLp4h07I5m

Managers have as great of an impact on employees’ mental health as their spouses and even more of an impact than their doctors or therapists. https://t.co/LcrI7G56Is

[Alyshah Sanmati Hasham @alysanmati]

We keep hearing that we need to tackle the roots of the violence on the TTC, youth crime, people in distress. So why doesn’t the 2023 budget even give an inflationary increase to a fund that supports community groups who do exactly that: https://t.co/xQaZtaoarA via @torontostar

First day of COVID in the books. So far, would not recommend.

From tomorrow through mid May, day length will increase by 2 or more minutes per day in the northeast.

Those tuned to nature will sense the expansion of even one day.

This is a great time of year to create!
