Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments

“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Congrats, it’s a great job for teenagers and young adults. Did it myself for a long time before I was fulltime at my career. All the best to her.

Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.

This! Besides 6 weeks of Xmas stuff is fine, right after Nov 11. Get a good break, without all the hassle.

I kinda wish people would celebrate Remembrance / Veteran's Day before Christmas. To me, Christmas is just way too commercialized. And this comes from someone who has worked in retail for 15 years

She donated 20% of her net worth to help people

And she looked billionaires in the face, including Mark Zuckerberg, and asked them why they can't help people with their astronimcal wealth - more than any could earn in several lifetimes

If even ONE of them did the same, imagine the good it could do

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away'

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The Dodgers might be baseball’s version of the Death Star.

But in a raucous World Series opener on Friday night in Toronto, the Blue Jays found their exhaust vent, and triggered an implosion of galactic proportions, The Times' Jack Harris writes.
