@katewillett Also, does he not remember how tech bros avoided supporting public transportation by taking private buses to work? To cities miles away from where they chose to live, cities that refused to build new housing but loved taking tax money from huge tech companies?

“These jobs are romanticized, but the reality is you need to have another job (or several other jobs), no debt, no bills, and no other obligations to take one and survive.” https://t.co/g9U860ft0E

Oakland goes silent to start the 5th, then rapturous, in unison: “Sell The Team!”

[Janie McCauley @JanieMcCAP]

Andy Nern, 37, of Oakland has loved the A’s for 15 years. His sign is a favorite in @DALLASBRADEN209’s section 209.

Isn’t it funny how the ✌🏾Protect Women’s Sports✌🏾crowd is very ok with female athletes receiving substandard treatment when it comes to facilities, salary, and generally things that would improve the game but are loud as fuck when they can use women to promote their own bigotry?

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: a few Diet Cokes, some well-done steak with ketchup, then pull out the nuclear secrets and show them to Kid Rock. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

But forcing women to give birth is totally chill.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch called emergency measures taken during the COVID-19 crisis that killed more than 1 million Americans perhaps “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.” https://t.co/RxHm7vXvCI

[Michele Goodwin @michelebgoodwin]

Yes, @mjs_DC. Amanda Zurawski underscored what is at stake when politicians and judges make political theater of women's pregnancy experiences. Her testimony was truly moving and so important.

I think this sudden embrace of AI as a magic profit increaser is “pivot to video” with the details changed

All my A's gear bout to get the shitty ex-boyfriend treatment and become boxed away outta sight.

[Katie Schwarz @craziesthawk]

A familiar story:

Tech asks for subsidies/tax breaks but everyone else needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Tech breaks a city (high housing prices), blames the city (so many unhoused), says the city isn't what it used to be (!), bails to do it again somewhere else.

[Alec MacGillis @AlecMacGillis]

Amazon is postponing much of HQ2 in Arlington VA and many of its new hires there are still working largely remote, yet it's about to collect its first tranch of $152 million in taxpayer subsidies from the state of Virginia. @teoarmus:

@muddiekins What an ass

So glad to see this getting more mainstream media attention - I reported this a month ago

@blktinabelcher You are an inspiration.

[Kendall Ciesemier @kendallciese]

Growing up with illness, I saw many of my sick friends die. It’s always horrible, but Tonya’s death was preventable.

28k available organs go to waste a year, costing 11k lives, simply bc there’s no accountability.

Biden can easily fix this.

A driving teacher is making a student park in the KP parking lot and it just seems cruel.
