The inmates are joyfully celebrating lawlessness. Shakespeare could teach a few things about the consequences.
“Elon Musk is runnin Twitter into the ground.” Twitter was locked in a chaotic doom loop. Now it’s on the verge of collapse https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/05/twitter-elon-musk-verge-of-collapse?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Twitter was locked in a chaotic doom loop. Now it’s on the verge of collapse

Since the ‘genius’ bought Twitter last year, he’s made a series of poor decisions – and now the platform is almost unusable

I’m beginning to think Elon Musk doesn’t understand Twitter.
Why give an interview if you’re going to incriminate yourself repeatedly? A very unstable genius.

Does anyone really want to live in Florida these days?
I’m appalled at the attack on public libraries. One way to ensure an illiterate society just because one book may offend one person’s sensibilities. Public libraries, especially for those with no books in homes, are essential to democracy.

I’m puzzled that our major national #journalism outlets, especially the resource-rich NYTimes, have given so little attention in news coverage and followup to #Florida’s book banning, speech regulation and political interference in education. Little sense of historic context and precedents, who’s affected, who’s fighting back, much more.

#DeSantis campaign coverage mentions this as political strategy only

It's Women's History Month. Here's the world men have forced on women:
1848: Married women's property act passed
1920: Beating women criminalized
1921: White women get voting rights—Asian women (1952), Native women (1962), Black women (1965), Hispanic women (1975)
1970: No fault divorce legalized
1974: Equal credit opportunity act let women have independent credit
1981: First women on SCOTUS
1993: Marital rape criminalized
2022: Roe v Wade overturned
2023: ERA still not law
Men—we must do better
