I feel like not enough people are talking about how CEO's income has increased over 1000% since 1978 while the typical worker's income has only increased 24%.
They are paid 290 times as much as the typical worker, up from 21 times in 1965.
They are the evil villains.

This. I'm not hearing enough outrage that the US government just paid for a Superbowl commercial featuring a convicted rapist. We didn't live through #MeToo to be quiet about it now.
Just as a reminder, Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist.

I was at a movie premiere after-party in NYC. As I was walking sideways to squeeze through a crowd, I locked eyes with a man who was walking sideways in the opposite direction. I said Hi, he said Hi. We kept going. I realized later that it was Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. #missedopportunities
One of my academic colleagues looks a bit like Bob Mortimer. One time near our labs I saw him walking towards me and I warmly said Hey Kevin. It was Bob Mortimer.

Fun low level anecdote: I once sat near Peter Mandelson in a theatre but I had a name blank and said rather too loudly ‘ooh look it’s Michael Portillo!’
He was visibly unamused.

I admit, I was a little skeptical about Starfleet Academy, but I'm loving the new characters! Cadet Master is Badass! And SAM is adorable!

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent picture of your pet(s)
She got her neck stuck in the handle of a plastic bag and was dragging it around. Silly girl!

Rob Reiner made movies I grew up with. At my advanced age of 50+, I still watch The Princess Bride and Stand By Me. What a heartbreaking loss 💔

Watching Tap (1989) on #tubi. With Gregory Hines, Joe Morton, Suzanne Douglas and Sammy Davis, Jr. Tap dancing seems to have become a lost art.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦♂️

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Okay Oprah, time to step up with the OWN Network (does she even own it anymore?). Hire all of these fired newspeople and entertainers. Give them a platform.
