Being mad about corporate greed doesn’t mean you’re an extremist terrorist.

It means you have a brain.

Being a billionaire is a choice! You can give it all away at any time. You can even keep $500 million and have more money than anyone can spend in a lifetime.

Trump’s reelection has triggered high-functioning depression in many women, fueled by misogyny, setbacks in women’s rights, and disappointment. Women are overwhelmed but still performing.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
