i don't like the narrative that tech salaries are "too high" because i believe that being able to live comfortably and have nice things should be the default human experience. all the other salaries are too low

So... what about if you build a country with slave labor for 400 years? Then what?

Is the NHS failing you? In July, a record number of A&E patients waited more than 12 hours to be admitted. Response times for ambulances dealing with the most urgent cases were also longer than the target time. Is the service broken and beyond repair? #JeremyVine

Some people say we should leave abortion rights up to states. I say, why stop there? Why not leave it up to counties, cities, neighborhoods, or—and this would really be fun—individual people?

The Catholic Church will not baptize a full term still born child that a mother gave birth to. Not only they won’t baptize the baby they WILL NOT allow the baby to have a funeral mass. Reasons is the baby never took a breath. Tell me how the CC believes life begins a conception.

In 2020 @JeffBezos made $8 million an hour. Every hour. @elonmusk? He made $18 million an hour. Every hour. The idea philanthropy is the answer when you make that much money is absurd. You can’t give it away quickly enough. The ultra rich should a pay a *lot* more tax.

The lady in Texas charged with murder for an abortion actually had a stillbirth (wasn’t even an abortion). The DA is now looking to dismiss the case. Texas arrested this woman, charged her with murder, and sent her to jail after she had a stillbirth.

According to Republicans- you can marry a child, give them a gun and force them to carry a baby to term, but letting them read a Judy Blume book, wear a mask, talk about race, gender or sexual orientation is child abuse.

I can't think why Nadine Dorries and the Tory government want to privatise Channel 4. On an unrelated note, @krishgm’s introduction of Tory MP Ben Bradley is arguably one of the greatest introductions of all time.

When Russia sanctioned Canada, it barred leaders from all major federal parties, including conservative leaders. But when Russia sanctioned the U.S., it barred Democratic leaders only. It didn’t name a single GOP leader. The signal couldn’t be clearer.
