Reading to children isn't a "sometimes" activity. It's every day. It's multiple times a day. It is a fundamental task of parenting. The fact that there is not one, but apparently many tech buffoons trying to wriggle their way out of this basic responsibility is frankly enraging. Their poor kids.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

Absolutely wild that the article doesn't share the context: before starting this program Wells Fargo was found to have discriminated against Black homebuyers. They were trying to make things right...and now, this.

The "actual police" only arrest 1 in 5 folks accused of sexual assault. Oh, and they're also the ones beating our community members, locking them up, and working with ICE to deport them. And don't even get me started on sexual assault BY police! The system is NOT designed for women's saftey.

the cheering after the completely nonsensical "let 'em take out Los Angeles, let 'em take out San Diego" is really one of those moments that perfectly crystalizes how these ghouls do not deserve pity nor rehabilitation into the body politic. Crush their movement and drive them from power forever.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

When I started campaigning for more SA resources on my college campus an *overwhelming* number of women shared their stories with me. At a certain point, I stopped counting who'd been assaulted and started counting the few who had not. ACT ACCORDINGLY.
