Sorry, singles, but you don't meet "the one" by sulking on your couch – you meet them by both reaching for the same book as Mariah Carey's 'Dreamlover' plays on the loudspeaker.

BREAKING - Over 40 different fake bomb threats have now been called into Democratic-leaning polling places

And they're coming from RUSSIA

This should literally be THE story right now -- it is blatant and brazen election interference to steal the election for Trump

[prance @bocxtop]

regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

Just talked to all Indivisible staff. Ain't over til it's over and it ain't gonna be over tonight. Blue wall remains a path. House remains in play. Get some rest and check in for more votes to be counted in the morning. We are a democracy, and we count votes in a democracy.

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

Catching up on Harvard student @MayaBodnick's essay on the limits of "embracing AI" in teaching

"Right now, GPT-4 enables students to pass college classes—and eventually, it’ll help them excel—without learning, developing critical-thinking skills, or working hard at anything." +

@katiemcvay Yes, please!

in all the BARBIE discourse, i don’t see anyone talking about the female audience. BARBIE is opening to $155+ million!! we are a vastly underserved audience. we’re 51% of the population. the majority male executives think we don’t matter, don’t spend, don’t need to be marketed to

The writers and actors aren’t just fighting for fair wages, they are fighting for the basic quality of the product they make.

Audiences, the studios and streamers want to give you the cheapest, most creatively cut-rate shows and movies they can.

The strike is also for *you*

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

A word to democratic strategists: Paul Vallas ran a cyclical, anti-union, “tough of crime,” Republican-lite campaign and lost against a boldly progressive, former union organizer, that ran on a hopeful message of solidarity, building bridges, and investing in the people.

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

Knodl has said he would consider impeaching Janet Protasiewicz (who just got elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court). This is what I mean when I say Republicans are banning abortion by attacking democracy

After the last eight years, it’s really disorienting to be inundated with good political news, but I’ll take it! #Chicago <3

Another massive holy cow huge piece of news, so this will probably get about ten likes and disappear into the twitterhole:
CDC say this:
"the virus that causes COVID-19,
can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system
of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection"
How the fuck is this not news everywhere?

It turns out I sat on this for too long, but I just have to get it out of my system:

The wall-to-wall Maga accounts celebrating tonight’s #ChiMayor23 results should tell you everything you need to know about Vallas

@huzzahmpls I’ve actually never seen Southside!
