HEWITT: "Will you be talking about the Uyghurs in your campaign?"

SAUREZ: "The what?"

HEWITT: "The Uyghurs."

SAUREZ: "What’s a Uyghur?"

HEWITT: "Okay, we’ll come back to that."

This is really important for male followers of mine to read. "Jokingly" causing uncomfort is not a defense. And being on the defensive in social interactions is not where you want to be. Read this and consider carefully. Empathy is an ascendant mental superpower, not a weakness.

plz refer to this thread if you believe you can’t change minds or move your elected reps.

Cedar Falls did that tonight.

Payton Washington is in the ICU after she was shot for getting in the wrong car in Texas

Kaylin Gillis was shot to death for driving into the wrong driveway in New York

Ralph Yarl was shot in the head for ringing the doorbell at the wrong house in Missouri

It’s the guns

I think our national experiment in freely giving deadly weapons to anyone who wants one and cultivating an atmosphere of paranoia and fear is going extremely well. https://t.co/KYQWb1n7Do

What really gets me is that Brian Ferentz, on a “performance plan” makes more than Bluder, who’s at the top of her game. Think about it. #Iowa

Is shaming GOP senators for backing the RESTRICT Act alongside Dems the path to preventing this bill from passing? #RESTRICTAct

[Joseph Cox @josephfcox]

New: the "insanely broad" RESTRICT Act—the proposed legislation that could be used to ban TikTok—also threatens a bunch of other services, potentially including VPNs, digital rights experts said.

"Raises serious human and civil rights concerns."

Time to reinstitute the assault weapons ban.

This is your friendly reminder that #EqualPayDay is tomorrow and we're raising awareness about the #WageGap at 11 am PDT/2pm EDT!

Who's in?!?

[Wes Jones @iamwpj]

It's more likely that the "inflation" we're experiencing now will be understood to history as a period of corporate greed -- whereby the economy experience a natural resizing, but inflation was incurred to keep profit margins up.

The worst thing to happen to humanities is the popularization of the Trolley Problem.

[Wes Jones @iamwpj]

If you remember the economists reactions during 2008 you should see the difference today. Then there was tangible repercussions, today the theoretical recession has yet to emerge -- it's all esoteric trolley problems that need not be played.

[Wes Jones @iamwpj]

@paulisci I recommend Throughline's episode about nostalgia -- it was certainly a medical disposition of the time! https://t.co/QkpkAb36f6

@TracketPacer Maybe with all the savings on marketing they can afford to improve FirePower.

Privatized healthcare doesn't have a way to deal with personal information -- Better Help's success *depends* on selling data about you, but of course, isn't that supposed to be protected information?

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

1. Today @FTC took action to ban @BetterHelp from sharing people's data—including sensitive mental health information—with Facebook and other companies for targeted advertising. https://t.co/hP5LvqwPMH

[Wes Jones @iamwpj]

@elizabeth_joh Why would this even cost effective to even build/program? Doesn't seem like it would be worthwhile -- unless Ford has big plans to sell a ton of vehicles to people they know can't afford them.

If you have been intrigued by AI recently then you owe it to yourself to watch this.
