Advice from someone who's family DID make a difference, still visible still viable still making us all more humane.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

America has deep problems, which is why we can’t give up. Protect the vulnerable, organize boycotts and keep fighting. My latest for The Guardian. ⬇️

Until about 10 days ago, my Instagram search page was full of photos and reels of dogs. Now when I open it, it’s full of reels of people beating each other up or of aggressive confrontations between people on airplanes, in their cars etc. It’s all designed to make you afraid of the world at large.

A memo from the Defense Intelligence Agency.

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Albertsons (Safeway...) "commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging as well as thoughtful people practices are core elements of the company’s philosophy" "We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen and enrich our stores, our company and our society."

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Crazy to think that just 4 years ago Amanda Gorman read The Hill We Climb

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

Seems like some people watch The Sound of Music and think "those sneaky Von Trapps, just you wait."

I'm sorry, but don't use TikTok if it comes back. This is propaganda so severe and in your face that it should not be tolerated in the slightest. I know how much people like the app. But like Vine and Twitter, alternatives will come.

Yahoo Groups died, we kept going. MySpace died, we kept going. ICQ died(kinda), we kept going. 2channel died, we kept going. Google+ died, we kept going. Vine died, we kept going. Houseparty died, we kept going. Habbo died, we kept going. We can live without TikTok. Move on.

Seeing a number of sincere "Hey maybe they'll bring back Vine!" posts, and...did y'all forget? Vine was owned by Twitter when it shut down and is among the assets included when he bought it. You want *that guy* having so direct a link to the dopamine button in your brain?

I’m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Don’t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

Perplexity AI just submitted a proposal to purchase all of the Tiktok video data to train their new text-to-video AI. 😮‍💨

Yo

I cannot believe that our ghetto ass govn't actually worked together to get rid of a fuckin app. Meanwhile, I can die from eating a mixed salad laced with Listeria or a mass shooting on my way to get it. Man, FUCK YALLL
