The sex industry has pioneered every new communications tool since the printing press: in my own lifetime, I've watched it take the lead in VCRs, desktop publishing, BBSes, digital text, digital images, digital videos, live streaming services, cryptocurrency, and VR. 1/

it's funny. republicans understand exactly how administrative burdens work when it comes to putting as many barriers as possible in front of americans who need Medicaid or SNAP. but when it comes to guns it is suddenly "well who knows if you can actually stop someone"

In Justice Alito’s draft opinion reversing Roe, he writes about “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment,” up until Roe in 1973. He cites, as historical authority, Sir Matthew Hale. Let me tell you about Hale & his views toward women. THREAD

Short 🧵 I've spoken to a few folk lately who are happy to go along with the narrative that Covid is over and we just have to get on with it. On each occasion though, when challenged they said 'well we can't go into lockdown all the time - that's very harmful too' 1/

Hey @Xfinity please stop harassing your customers with repeated call backs and text msgs to troubleshoot a problem after you've set up a technician appt. It's hard enough jumping through all the automated hoops and agent Qs to set up an appt. in the first place

@60Minutes producers spoke to me for many hours. I even spent additional time building a custom demo for @andersoncooper and made recommendations on research to include and subjects to interview with emphasis on the stories of the #excoded who have been falsely arrested. 1/n

This is from a 1964 issue of The New Yorker. The King there is obviously MLK. The reason I'm posting this is that line where the young man thinks the civil rights act would "carry on the trend towards federal dictatorship". This was 1964. Slavers haven't evolved since 1864.
