Remember, ‘fewer’ is generally used when you’re talking about a smaller number of things that can be counted. Use ‘more’ when you want to indicate a larger number.

Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Google, v. - to perform an unnecessary act of shameless sycophancy (e.g. renaming bodies of water in Google Maps). “You googled so hard I thought you were going to wet your pants.” Google, n. - a shameless googler. One whose brownnosing reaches Marco Rubio levels of obsequiousness

(2/3) Immigrants come for religious tolerance. They’re fixing that. Immigrants come for freedom of expression. They’re fixing that. Immigrants come for freedom from repression and violence. They’re fixing that. Immigrants come for the quality of our education system. They’re fixing that.

The most hateful part of Trump and Miller’s anti-immigrant agenda is the persecution by ICE/CBP thugs (lumping the concentration camps with this into one monstrous mechanism); but they are relying on more than fear to drive down immigration. (1/2)

State surveillance isn’t limited by probable cause because we have an unregulated data brokering market and the government can buy data it can’t collect itself. It’s not limited by lack of data either (though Flock makes that worse). The limit is bandwith. Or WAS - AI is the key to the panopticon.

I agree!
dolohkov: An Old English word for library was "bochord", which literally means "book hoard", and honestly I really think we should go back to saying that because not only does it sound really cool, but it also sort of implies that librarians are dragons.

Has America Crossed the Asshole Threshold?
Civilizations can carry a surprising number of parasites and live. But there’s a line — Rome crossed it, the Gilded Age toed it, and for the first time in history, we can measure it.

Born into poverty during peak Jim Crow, Ray Charles stood against the system that sought to keep him destitute. He famously fought against segregation until the state that banned him apologized & made his song their state anthem. Brother Ray loved America & made her better as a result.
