You wanting to keep YOUR child from reading a book with a gay main character doesn’t mean you get to decide if MY child can.

Your desire to keep YOUR child from learning ACCURATE black history doesn’t mean MY child doesn’t get to.

And just because YOU’RE offended by Michelangelo‘s work, doesn’t mean MY child shouldn’t see it.

Crying “parents rights” doesn’t mean YOU have the right to parent MY kid. Or ANYONE else’s.

So cut the shit.

@BlackBerryBrad Excellent plan!

You have to read this. No, really.

@YasmineEvjen Squarespace!

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

Why didn't any of the latest inflation reporting mention that corporate profits just hit a record high?

Corporate profits reached $2.08 TRILLION in the 3rd quarter.

Corporate greed is playing a role in driving up prices — and the media will hardly talk about it.

Insulin should never be something any person has to ration.

[Andy Ihnatko @Ihnatko]

A company that tries to make sleeping in the office instead of going home part of the culture -- aspirational, even -- is deeply, _deeply_ dysfunctional. This stuff is only OK if you're trying to get astronauts back home safely in a crippled Apollo spacecraft.

Hey, would you look at that.

Gonna say the quiet part out loud. The media treatment of Fetterman, the constant questioning of his ability to serve, is literally an intensification of what every disabled person has to endure when we insist on living beyond the limits of ableism.

Master class in responding to a heckler

[Jeff (Gutenberg Parenthesis) Jarvis @jeffjarvis]

What coverage of @JohnFetterman most reveals is news organizations' ignorance of & bias against disabilities. They must work to overcome that just as with their implicit & explicit racism, sexism, & prejudice against LGBTQ+, immigrants... They must learn from Fetterman.

This October we're premiering MST3K's first-ever Halloween special -- IN 3D! -- and to celebrate, we're having a cosplay contest! So suit up and head over to https://t.co/RDUeRfBbz6 to enter with your (or your pet's) very best MST3K-themed costume. #SeeYouInTheGizmoplex

This would be a great week for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from all cases involving Trump's attempted coup.

His wife Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Recusal should be the absolute minimum.

Today, we're gonna put our best selling riffs from each of the last ten years on sale! Do you think you know which riffs rose above the rest?

Amazing thread

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

Just wondering: How loudly did all those who oppose student loan forgiveness complain when the richest Americans were recipients of the $2.5 trillion tax breaks?
