USPS just dropped some sick new stamps I know all you nerds will love. (They are forever stamps so you can put them on your bills and cards and mean letters to Clarence Thomas for the next six years or whatever. )

"Life Magnified" features wonders of the microscopic world. (Sorry for the $14 hit to your bank account.)

Exactly 14 years ago today—on July 24, 2009—the minimum wage was set at $7.25 while top 1% were worth $5T. Today, billionaire wealth is $45T+, meanwhile the min wage is still $7.25.

This is what generational wage theft looks like. Pay workers. Tax billionaires. #RaiseTheWage

🌡 Time for a reminder that adding shade & vegetation 🌳 to urban environments helps to reduce the urban heat island effect massively.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has made $1 billion from the company. Earlier this year he laid off more than 10,000 workers.

Hard to think of a better example of inequality in tech and the wider economy.

It gets more absurd every day for Big Journalism to keep pouring its work into Saudi-government-funded Twitter, which is controlled by a right-winger who hates real journalism and boosts extremists.

It gets even more absurd for journalism orgs to keep embedding tweets in their stories, given Musk's unfathomable destruction of the platform's usefulness.

I keep wondering when journalists will discover that big tech is not their daddy.

I have often wondered why Putin's attack on #Ukraine angers me so deeply.

Walking on the beaches of Lillebælt, I realized it is because of this:

To this day, we Danes still see the concrete fortifications left by the Nazis on our shores, because 1 fascist leader got the insane idea, he had the right to topple our democracy.

He had no right. All he had was the delusion he was somehow supreme to everyone else.

We stopped the fascist in 1945.

We will stop the fascist now.

So.

Yesterday, @ABC tweeted a headline that declared that Moms for Liberty were “fighting back.”

MANY people asked:fighting against what? It was an example of both sides-ism and normalization par excellence.

After lots of people objected, they removed it.

NEVER forget that your voice matters. And that the voice of the people can have real power.
