Really love how David Tennant is so supportive of his non-binary kid, and generally how open and vocal he is on the issues affecting minorities and marginalized communities. Plus, his no bs take here is pretty spot on in regards to how the word "woke" is being used as an insult to ridicule what is essentially just giving a damn about other people.

"It makes me so angry, the way they weaponised this idea of, that, that being asleep is something to aspire to [...] It makes me furious that they should have a minister who would encourage you not to have a crumb of empathy, not to think about what it might be to live so somebody else’s experience."

Musk’s promise of shadowban disclosure on the site “soon” reminiscent of trump’s promise of his healthcare plan in “two weeks.” Do they think no one keeps track of promises made, or that nobody cares …

Musk just illustrating what a pathetic asshole he actually is… the narcissist has an inferiority complex that even his money can’t take away…

The public education system is not failing.

It's being deliberately disrupted and defunded, by billionaires.

They're attempting to use vouchers & charter schools to get public funding for segregated private schools.

They want to convert every publicly funded system into systems of public corruption.

Patronage & pork for their billionaire donors is all the GOP do.

@roknrol @LindaCollins11 So you think he should face no consequences? What about prison? Can he be sentenced to prison? I can’t follow your train of thought. I don’t care who you are, in America if you break the law you can go to jail.

Saw those Nazis marching in Madison, Wisconsin and thought back to my great Uncle Andy, who earned a Silver Star by killing 11 Nazis in a pill box in Italy.

This is Part I, in which I discuss why everybody – on the Left and Right – is worried about democracy, and why that is not reassuring at all; why Americans are increasingly regarding political violence as justified; and why Christian nationalism leads to authoritarianism. 3/

What could go wrong?

Sometimes what looks incredibly cute in real life looks a bit morbid in photographs.

Saudi media reports say Houthi rebels have hijacked the Bahamas-flagged Galaxy Leader, an Israeli-operated vehicle carrier in the Red Sea, which has a crew of 22. https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/11/19/Israeli-ship-reportedly-hijacked-by-Yemen-s-Houthis-in-Red-Sea

Who likes to stroll out of the room where her litter box is with an anticipatory look at Hubs saying "You're going to cover that up, right?" This old gal. Every time. Happy #Caturday from Pork Chop.

Happy #caturday! It's that time of year when full sun is rare and sunset comes early, so whenever or wherever there is a sunbeam, Lycos and Google have to savor it. Sometimes that means that I can't use the stairs.

There is a sense of impending chaos surrounding Big Tech now that I've never sensed before simultaneously along so many vectors. Technological chaos. Regulatory chaos. Political chaos. Legal chaos. Social chaos. Everything is pointing toward a maelstrom, a perfect storm heading toward implosion. And rather than helping to ameliorate this, many Big Tech execs appear to be hell bent on speeding the process.

I’m paying for it but what a perfect November day! 🍂
