It genuinely surprises me that no banking / lending institution has ever used the song Alone in an ad. (🎶 “How do I get you a loan…” 🎶)

PSA: Teachers hate state testing as much as the students. Please don’t yell at us. It’s just another part of education that is out of our control.

Someone hacked my Twitter account, changed the email and password and then deleted my account. So…thanks?

Empathy is good

@skrishna @ScottSoCal agreed - their story, with Adira too, I feel has been presented sensitively and yet with normality.

As with your original post - which has moved me incredibly too - representation matters, to all :-)

As an older white straight male growing up in the north of of England, seeing anything outside that monoculture was important and vital, I've seen what happens to people who don't let these things in...

When I saw this scene, I announced that it was the gayest Star Trek moment - gayer than Jadzia Dax's kiss.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

The banks didn't fail because of wokeism- they failed because of Trumpism. Trump and GOP repealed regulations that would have 100% prevented the bank collapse. Once again Dems cleaning up the GOP's mess

I’ve heard it said that phishers leave in bad grammar or errors to help limit potential victims to people who are impaired or not paying attention. But today’s email demanding payment from “Bit-Defeder® Secuirty” took that a bit far.

“Liberal, liberal, liberal.” I remember when Ronald Reagan used the term as a slur during a speech in 1988. That dreaded “L” word. Many Americans lump “liberal” together with the words “bleeding heart” and incorrectly believe it means people who are just plain soft on things like spending and crime.

But true liberal values are actually what hold our democracy together and the loss of them threatens our future as a democratic republic. Today’s piece looks at the state of Florida under Governor Ron DeSantis and how it is a prime example of the illiberal threat to our system.

The proper term is “Christian Nationalism” - thanks.
