‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Visa and Mastercard pressuring Itch.io and Valve does 'nothing to protect' women, and shock games will just be 'side-stepping the ban entirely', say affected indie devs

"Cutting these women off from income streams and audiences does nothing to 'protect' them."

I got a DM on Twitter once from someone like “you follow this person” with a link to a callout post for something that person had said/done.

if I follow them, I’m aware of what they’ve said/done. I’m also an adult & have some critical thinking.

I don’t need strangers babysitting my follows.

The Nazis targeted disabled people first & pioneered the term “useless eater”

They convinced the masses that we were less than”. People taking up resources & not contributing in any way.

When Dr Oz says we must “prove our worth” to get Medicaid, he’s just resurrecting the concept.

Don’t let him

Look, I'm a well-off middle-age cis white guy with four law degrees, three in commercial law fields.

At this point, even I can see that key institutions have failed at the moment they were most needed because we have permitted the development of a largely unregulated and untaxed oligarch class.

"A society can't allow EVERYBODY to have free speech!" is a helluva take.

Thomas Chatterton Williams on X: "I don’t care if you’re razing Kenosha, storming the Capitol, or doing whatever this is in LA, no democracy can function when every group and identity block decides it has the right and moral authority to take its specific political disagreements into the streets."

One thing that has become super apparent for me is that we need Congress to pass a law creating a default enforcement mechanism that would apply to any statute or regulation that mandates or prohibits specific conduct but doesn’t have an explicit enforcement mechanism

It was always about these uncreative small-minded people who, deep down, know they're talentless ass clowns who need to resort to xenophobia and fascism to make it.

At bottom, it's a skill issue. I don't need fascism to succeed. Neither does any immigrant or patriotic American.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

nothing in that video justifies the office taking aim & firing directly at her. they literally had no cause.

she’s a reporter; she has every right to be there, reporting on the situation.

the dumbass is anyone who defends the policing for assaulting a reporter to intimidate & suppress.
