We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner.
A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

“Your employer would own you. “Own,” it’s a word I made up. An old-fashioned word. I like to use it. But your employer would own you.”

I'm as sick of hearing about the masculinity crisis as I am hearing about AI, but it's long been my observation that trad wives, masculinity influencers & gender reveal parties are all on the same backlash continuum & they're all in response to the cultural dominance of queer people in this century

This is going to be a tool of eugenics. Disabled and chronically ill people who can’t afford their meds are going to die from this.

17 years ago we sent the message that once corruption is allowed to get big and brazen enough, no one will have the stones to punish it. The message was received.
I'm never going to lose sight of the fact that letting the bankers get away with 2008 is a huge part of what caused the current political mess.
I don't just hate them for robbing my generation of a future, I hate them for the fascism.

While the State Department CAN revoke *visas* with very little legal process involved, stripping someone of a green card is done by DHS (not the State Department) and requires filing formal charges alleging a violation of immigration law and a removal hearing in front of an immigration judge.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works.
America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused.
It is why we dominate in tech globally.

CNBC hosts literally laugh at Lutnick as he suggests that t-shirts, sneakers, towels, and TVs will again be made in the US as a result of Trump's trade war

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a groundbreaking nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray WITHOUT requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.
