I was born and raised in Florida where I remain to this day. Sometimes, I'm a Spoiled Girl who wants to know everyone who dies and buy the latest Funko.
Remember being the girl that read all 100+ Babysitters Club books back in the day? And also all the Boxcar Children, Fear Street, Goosebumps, the Great Illustrated Classics, Sweet Valley High...
Anyway, so how's your crippling anxiety, ADHD diagnosis, and perimenopause going?
88 of the largest corporations spent $852 MILLION to influence our political system and paid ZERO dollars in federal taxes.
We need to make sure these giant corporations pay what they owe and pass my constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46.
Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits.
Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense.
John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
america won't fund a single indoor public play space for kids, but for thirty years a hamburger chain quietly ran free climate-controlled playgrounds in every town, then tore them all out, and nobody held a hearing. the playplace was infrastructure and we won't admit we miss it
Gonna just put this out here but I think the death of these small time wasters within all the theme parks is what spawned such anger within the Theme Park Community. We used to be surrounded in fun, now we are directed to have specific fun. If we pay to skip a line...(1/3)
I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.
Re-watching 'The Silence Of The Lambs', I'm struck that basically every interaction Clarice has with a male colleague is some combination of leering, lecturing and intimidation. Demme's direction implies that by the time she encounters Lecter, he scarcely registers as an anomaly.
I hate this movie because it doesn't just LOOK ugly it's ugly INSIDE. The entire plot is that the Whos are materialistic freaks who are obsessed with junk and possessions and the Grinch has to teach THEM a lesson. Why - why bother adapting the book at all at that ??
I know this is fanboy brain, but if I was RTD I would move heaven and earth to do a 'Night of the Doctor'-esque short for the upcoming anniversary or Children in Need.
Ncuti Gatwa. Carole Ann Ford. Reuniting in the Memory TARDIS.
Let THAT be the final note of the era.
