Steve Jobs called 'IT' “the most amazing piece of technology since the PC”. According to Jeff Bezos 'IT' was not only “revolutionary”, but also infinitely commercial. IT was a fiendishly clever and massively hyped invention. But in the end 'IT' — also known as the Segway — crashed and burned.

I used the release of Hogwarts Legacy to provide as detailed a breakdown of JK Rowling's history of transphobic statements and actions as I reasonably could.
I couldn't reasonably include every RT, every like, every bad tweet, but this should provide a firm understanding of the timeline and the severity of Rowling's transphobia for anyone who would find it useful to brush up on the details. #trans #journalism

Oh this is rich. Ted Cruz is pushing a bill to cap Senate terms at 2 but has announced he’s running for his third term.

Yesterday I put up a poll asking 1000 people to sign this petition demanding undocumented immigrants have the right to get a Driver's License.
296 people took the poll and 400 people also signed the petition. Everyone did what they said they would! How great is that! 😀
We're ~600 people shy of my goal. Will you be 1 of 600 and speak up for undocumented immigrants? Much love ❤️✊🏽

New York’s Adult Survivors Act[1] (“ASA” or “the Act”) (S.66A/A.648A) became effective on November 24, 2022. The Act provides a one-year lookback window for people to seek civil remedies for sexual abuse they experienced after they turned 18, regardless of what year the abuse occurred. This law adds critical energy to the ongoing momentum of the #MeToo movement, allowing survivors to file suit against both their abusers and the institutions that enabled them.
