@InspectorNerd Once when I worked in prepress for a print shop we were once sent a file from a republican running for an election and they had a part where it was something like bragging about “opening the first local trump office for “the blacks”
@InspectorNerd And the spelling/grammar/photo quality were so atrocious I called the person who submitted it and said I would not move it to production until they acknowledged and approved the errors and horrible wording. They approved it.
And was a weird paw print graphic with no explanation?
We almost had to remove the spouse of a patient from the hospital last night because he refused to believe that his wife, who had signs/symptoms of COVID for 10 days and was found with an oxygen saturation of *9%* after having a probable stroke, had COVID. Violently in denial.

#fuckapple, a thread
I cofounded @fanhouseapp 8 months ago to empower creators to monetize their content. We pay creators 90% of earnings. Now, Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse from the app store unless we give them 30% of creator earnings. This is theft and exploitation.
This is horrific. Especially knowing how many Nigerians use this platform to let us know about the violence the government is doing. The lgbtq Nigerians who use this platform to raise funds. I hate this shit
It’s just incredible to hear Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema say voting rights legislation needs bipartisan supermajority in Senate when GOP is unilaterally changing the rules in the states to prevent Dems from ever winning another fair election. Total asymmetric warfare
Crucial point here: These 100 scholars call on Democrats to recognize that protecting democracy is both urgent and unlikely to be bipartisan.
Having so many big names make that point so bluntly should dispel a lot of lingering fantasies about bipartisanship:
