As a former Catholic school kid, the is was an interesting read, especially to see the historical context of the Roman Empire (That age was brutal)
The last chapters really paint a picture of what was going on with Pontius Pilate. Never heard of Sejanus before!

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.

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.

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.

Lía Smith, a missing trans student in Vermont has been found dead.

"Vermont State Police touted the national 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for those in distress or their loved ones." This is the same lifeline the Trump admin cut for LGBTQ people in crisis.
