Privatize means rig.

I understand that most people don't really care about online #privacy, but since we're at the start of the school year, I'm going to give it a try and leave this here: #NoMoreSocialMediaPressureInSchools

"To this day, the cumulative per capita death rates from #COVID19 in countries that embraced the face coverings, such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore, are a sixth of Anglo-Saxon countries like the US and UK that balked at community masking."

Western Australia is hopelessly captured by the fossil fuel industry. They control a large chunk of the news media, and they (along with other mining interests) bankroll government. We have to find ways to combat our conversation into a petro-state.

An FTC judge has ruled that TurboTax should stop advertising the product as free since they end up requiring about two thirds of tax filers to pay.

They can only advertise it as free too all customers, a majority of tax payers or the restrictions are clearly stated.

This particular scam has gone on for too long. Of course, the real scam is the government not just telling you how much you owe since they know what you make instead of making you do your own taxes.

But I think about the fearmongering and moral panic about "unqualified teachers" that was going on at the same time.

This Michelle Rhee cover is always the pinnacle for me

Anyway, I would love a history of teacher resistance to accountability and how their voices were drowned out by the moral panic.

Hello - just a very quick #Introduction (or reintroduction) as I figure out how to move instances. I gave up the bird last November in one of the migrations and haven't looked back since. I genuinely prefer this calmer, more nuanced, more enjoyable type of social media. I am a Secondary school English teacher in the UK. Keen to connect with #Education people, #Teachers #EduTooter and the like, but I also love #Food #Wine #Cheese #TaylorSwift and #WhiteTailedEagles

Sorry to break it to you but if you are still on #twitter, you are part of the problem.

I see a real value in wearing a masks anytime you enter a store with many people.

I have not had a cold or had to take pills for any ailments other than what I take for my chronic pain my mask is staying on.

Next, they came for the media, but it was okay since there were no journalists there.

Things I realized during the pandemic:

3. Millions of people would rather kill millions of other people rather than be inconvenienced in the slightest.

A straight woman was murdered for defending LGBTQ+ rights. But that’s not the whole story. The last time lethal force was used against a straight person for supporting LGBTQ+ rights, did you know that EVERY SINGLE NEWS OUTLET IN LOS ANGELES COVERED IT UP? No exceptions. Every. Single. One.
