Jeff Bridges pulled up to John Goodman’s Walk of Fame ceremony in the actual Dude sweater — Goodman’s reaction is pure joy. Cinema history hugging it out.
Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload.
On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol.
By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol)
The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since.
The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety.
These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how.
It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented.
The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered.
It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.

Maybe Biden won't win this one for us. Maybe we will have to win it for him. I wrote in 2017, and I stand by it today: "What happens next is up to you and me." https://t.co/zx5HE02N19
SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.
I had just heard a complaint about how dangerous it is to tell people to go back to work asap after testing positive for Covid, so this was even more interesting
Someone asked me, "if many people are gradually developing long COVID, wouldn't we see it in the economic data?" Yes, we would. And in fact we are. A few recent examples:
TFW you’re at a loss for what to do to help your child bc his school has failed to provide special needs services for at least two years, you’re asking for help everywhere, and then UPS delivers your mega shipment of wine 😂 #maybeitsasign
I forgot alt text! First tweet: Outside a 7-eleven, not a cloud in the sky, a boy and girl pout. Reply: Backseat of a black SUV, the boy and girl each have Slurpees

Kevin McCarthy: the voters elected Santos, so his fraudulent ass gets to stay in Congress.
Tenn GOP: damn the voters we are kicking you out for your loud opinions we disagree with.
