Imagine you and your 10 best friends were born the same year as Jesus. And somehow you’re all still around. Every day of your lives you each made $100,000. Today, the 11 of you combined have significantly less money than Elon Musk. #howareyougoingtopayforthat

A thing that is 100% predictable isn't shocking, by definition.
INFO CARD: Beginning with Ronald Reagan, and adjusting for inflation, how much money do you think has been lost to the United States in tax cuts for the wealthy? Methodologies vary, but the best estimate is $15-22 trillion. Keep this in mind the next time you propose feeding children or paying teachers or universal healthcare and somebody asks “how are you going to pay for that?” #NUMBERS Sources include the CBO, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Tax Foundation, and the Penn Wharton Budget Model. #howareyougoingtopayforthat tinyurl.com/haygtpft

T or F?
• Lobbying should be free from financial influence.
• States shouldn’t undermine equal rights.
• Hate speech shouldn’t hide behind the 1A.
• Government should remain independent from religious influence.
• Housing, food, healthcare, and education shouldn't depend on profit-driven systems.
As in politically or just generally?

Gonna have a schadenfreude party tonight at the bar after gobbling up every last ounce of reactionary dickhead cope over this. Thank you, Gorton and Denton, about whom I knew extra-fuckall prior to this morning, and also Mancunian accent for the win. On top of the other win.
a beautiful red-haired gothic woman with porcelain skin, in the style of dark art nouveau-inspired mixed media art, surrounded by spider webs and painted cracked walls on an old wall. she has white face paint that covers her eyes and lips, wearing black t-shirts at each side, and is looking directly into the camera. the background features abstract patterns of lines and shapes in shades of gray and crimson, giving it a surrealistic feel

I wrote the Times off in 2005. They've done nothing since to convince me to come back.

Image of a hungry woman with her child during the dust bowl. The image is a comedy by the following quote: “There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill the certificates - died of malnutrition - because the food must rot, must be forced to rot.” —John Steinbeck The Grapes of Wrath

been watching this discussion for a while, so I might as well say: I have a humanities degree from one of the world's top engineering schools, I got a terrific education in writing *and* STEM, and it has made me a better UX strategist all around, absolutely zero regrets
