Hi folks, today I've dived into creating socio-music theory video content! This first video is about selling out: how much control do artists have in it? What role does the entertainment industry play in the process? Check it out if you're into this stuff!

The question is not whether they had a pre-existing condition or comorbidity. The question is whether they would still be alive today if not for COVID.

[Helvetica @MissHelveticaB]

Normalize calling them public health measures or safety precautions, not mandates and restrictions.

BREAKING: simultaneous freakish heat in the Arctic and Antarctic described as 'impossible' and 'unthinkable' by scientists as abrupt climate change accelerates wildly 🧵

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

The 18 biggest oil CEOs are worth $8 billion more now than when Biden took office.

For whatever reason this doesn't get mentioned in the context of rising prices

$1,500 rent means you paying $18,000 a year in housing.

Someone making $50,000 is paying 22% in taxes. ($39,000) now has to pay rent and is left with $21,000. For the year with all other life expenses.

Rent is too damn high for a lot of folks.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

"why are prices so high"

Companies are on track to do a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks this year - twice as much as five years prior.

Remember that the people who set prices are swimming in record profits and using the money to enrich themselves

Ridiculous but true fact: Zoom, the teleconferencing app, has done more to reduce emissions than electric vehicles.

[jayson m porter @RogueChieftan]

I’m still stuck on this idea: investing in more sleep for climate justice. If everyone in the United States was encouraged to sleep an additional hour or two, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions could be huge. Like the size of smaller, more sustainable countries huge.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. If we are not attentive to the colonial dimensions of climate breakdown, we are missing the point.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

You can (and should), unapologetically advocate for the Ukrainian people’s safety and peace AND you can call out the hypocrisy and racism on full display with the comparisons to other conflicts. They are not mutually exclusive. Let your sense of humanity be on full display.

Amplifying this post; be careful of what's being reposted & from where during this crisis. Here is an example of a DELIBERATE attempt to pit folks against each other.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Straight up: Eminem taking a knee to stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick is what made this #SuperBowl actually SUPER! ✊🏽

For the record, “diversity of thought” is not saying the N word in 110 episodes of a podcast.

[collagen machine broke @chronicallybeee]

so, since some people genuinely don’t understand why immunocompromised and high risk people are freaked out and upset, i’ll explain! 🧵

[eat soup @jasminericegirl]

since we're talking about wharton I would like to share some of my experiences there as a low-income undergrad. so at penn, there are more students in the top 0.1% income bracket than in the bottom 20%. only about 3% of the student body are from the bottom 20%— I was one of them

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

it is -30 in toronto tonight. and this was picture of the TTC last night taken by @fatnmostly. do not look away — this is canada’s failure on housing as a human right. we need all levels of government to end homelessness now.

[FLYLO @flyinglotus]

to anyone, especially my creative people out there having a hard time dealing with all the darkness. Remember, you are not alone. The ride is real!
