A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Underrated feature of Apple music and an Apple TV is being able to create a playlist of music videos. My own personal MTV which is a pleasure to toss on the TV when I don't feel like watching a show but need more than just music. And no ads (suck it youtube.)

This was such a left-field claim that I initially couldn't believe it. But it turns out there are extensive photos of Justin Brown, cofounder of Brown Brothers Media, hanging out with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking underage girls
