Given the flood of new followers, an introduction:

Thank you for following me, if I haven't followed you back I probably will when we get to know each other a bit.

I'm a lawyer and activist. I post stuff about things I think are important or interesting, and sometimes make 'hilarious' jokes.

Charts showing that the PBO estimates that in this current financial year the discount will cost $21.8bn in revenue forgone. The richest 1% will get 59% or $12.9bn of it:

TOMORROW! The Rise, third volume in the Tales From The Gulp, arrives on Friday 13th. It's all been leading to this. There's never been a better time to visit the dark and strange harbour town of Gulpepper. Locals call it The Gulp, as it has a habit of swallowing people.
#WelcomeToTheGulp #Booksky
The covers of all three books - The Gulp, The Fall and The Rise - with a bunch of humbling praise from a variety of awesome people.

A world in which there’s no poverty, or a world in which there’s no poor people? This is some literal ‘modest proposal’ shit.
Screenshot: Musk has stated that Optimus would be the "biggest product of all time" and said that the robots, along with autonomous vehicles, would usher in "a world where there is no poverty".

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant. 9,742 L7 19.4K 43.8K 个 AP The Associated Press @AP Replying to @APStylebook The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗
comic: when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns. if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind. if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind. I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.
