Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.

Tim Miller from @bulwarkonline (The Bulwark) has a fantastic interview with Tennessee House Rep. Gloria Johnson about what happened there in the last few weeks. Also, she's been there for a while. It's not just what's happened in the last few weeks, but what has been happening for a long while.
I remember in the 90s, a lot of movies and shows were showing us "The New South". The non-racist South. The South that had "changed". All of that "nastiness" and "unpleasantness" was in the past, as they would have had us believe. It was "forgotten history" - pay it no heed.
Well, as it turns out, not so much. Not by a long shot.

A lot of people don't appear to mind that TikTok is subject to Chinese Communist Party laws concerning the retaining of all of that juicy data they collect on everyone around the world.
Yet another story to remind us about just whom we are talking about:

Do you /really/ want to give your data to them? Seriously?

A real “pro-life” movement would ban assault rifles while enacting Medicare for All, paid sick leave, universal childcare, and a living wage.

One frustrating thing on Mastodon is getting a follow recommendation and you look at the account and they haven't posted for weeks or months. Dr. Jorge Caballero @DataDrivenMD to the rescue!
Check out this "simple website that lists 5-8 *active* Mastodon accounts for each of the following categories: Columnists, Journalism, Tech, Media, Politics, Authors, Social Justice, Advocacy, Law/Legal, SciComm."

Thanks Dr. Caballero!

Ce dessin de Grindle dans l'excellent Bea Wolf de @zaski et @Bouletcorp m'a vraiment scotché (l'un parmi tant d'autres).
J'y retrouve un peu de ce personnage flippant de The Wall (un prof si mes souvenirs sont exacts, encore quelqu'un qui détruit les enfants dans le film justement !)

RT @rbreich
Clarence Thomas not only accepted free vacations and had undisclosed financial dealings with a GOP donor, he also supported the Citizens United ruling and insisted that SCOTUS should, “invalidate mandatory disclosure and reporting requirements.”
His actions drip with corruption.
Anyone who thinks that the right stands for protecting free speech is, at this point, a deluded fucking idiot.
