Take some time to read through this. Bill is firing on all 8 cylinders today.
Starting a thread of shit Bills learned about life since I’m turning 50 and a half century has taught me a few things.
So I’m going to start this off by saying, Read all the Books… seriously the classics, the spicy, the history, the DIY all of them.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

I think my updates are done for tonight from the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that has killed at least 3 and likely more. Here's our current story, which is likely to change by the morning once more official information comes out.

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist
2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to
