be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

So, Jesus said there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11). He also said (everywhere!) look after the poor. The fact that there will always be poor people means Christians will always have an obligation to look after them. Any other view is a form of Christianity that doesn't follow Christ.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

grease floats. when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks. the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process. listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I'm pretty sure Tom Holland rules apply to The Great Rice Delivery Fiasco

Always such a pleasure to read @tkingfisher.com , whose powers of description are simply perfect. In HEMLOCK & SILVER, describing toxic desert plants: "jumping cholla. That doesn’t have to be toxic, it’s nothing but spines and hatred."

AOC with the facts on MTG

Okay, I listed 15 brand new paintings today! Go look at them please : ) artologica.etsy.com #sciart

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions. They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1. We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

Women don't recognize only the overt hatred & abuse in Trump's actions--shoving his finger in the face of a female professional doing her job & calling her names--we also recognize the cowardice displayed by the other men in the room as they implicitly condone his behavior by saying nothing.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Listen to this book! It's so beautiful!

I love stumbling across an artist whose work immediately fits into my soul Go buy some beautiful art, bipeds. It's good for you

So much of what we’re witnessing right now, defensiveness, fragility, denial, over-intellectualizing, “not all white men,” isn’t personal. It’s patterned. Predictable. Trained. It’s what happens when an entire group is raised inside a lie that centers you as the default,

Rules are rules... And storm water management is important. youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

The bill only forces the release of unclassified information. Pass it on.

NEWS JUST IN! A new book will in fact solve all your problems

This is how predators work. In the initial emails, he thinks he can still fuck her, and describes her willingness as: * listened to the comments of a LEADING ECONOMIST IN THE FIELD about her presentation * didn't object when he commented on her outfit * let him whine about his marriage.

The amount of connections to scientists working in the field of genomics that I'm finding in the Epstein emails is terrifying, disgusting, and sadly unsurprising We need to deeply investigate how much these scientists actually knew, or how much they were involved There need to be consequences

Celebrating Gerty Cori on #WorldDiabetesDay. Cori, a biochemist, co-discovered the Cori cycle which unlocked how the body regulates glucose--foundational for diabetes treatments & insulin therapy. She was awarded the 1947 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery. #WomenInSTEM

We've been saying "See you later, Alligator" for decades, when "Sayonara, Capybara" was right there.

I'm going to actively say at this point that I don't think people should donate to any Dem-run PACs. What guarantee do we have that they won't give the money to cowards to stave off primary challengers? I mean, it rather feels like the reverse will happen.

My experience age 19 to 25 was before every professional biology conference or atheist/skeptic convention, people would warn me who not to be alone with because they would do bad things to young women The Venn diagram of people mentioned in the Epstein emails is nearly a circle Like, fucking duh

Remember when their motto was "don't be evil"?

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

They say the are pro-life, but they sure seem to like killing people

Let’s take John Fetterman. AIPAC funded. Got elected by the people. Immediately began working for his funders after his election by the people. Stopped working for the people altogether.

For the rest of your life, IF you get to vote in an election, you don’t have to listen to a thing the candidates say. All you have to do is check who is funding them. THAT is how you’ll know what they will DO once in office. The words coming out of their mouths mean absolutely nothing.

Go read THE GALES OF NOVEMBER by John U Bacon and learn all about it. It's amazing

Once again I'm begging people not to compare politicians to invertebrates. Inverts are cool and diverse and play an important ecological role. Politicians are the lower order.

Never before have I witness the whole spectrum of liberalism, from centrist democrats to the farthest leftists, so completely united against a common enemy. Too bad it's the Senate Democrats.

And adjuncts.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Reminder that Republicans don't really believe in religious liberty. Religion is a tool for enhancing their political power, and any expression of faith to the contrary must be suppressed.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

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...
