aburtchY’all, the Penzey’s spices “About” page goes HARD.

“we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I’m sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.”
About Republicans
About Republicans -- As we’ve now said on our first-ever About Us page on our website, there’s something unique about humankind’s relationship with spices that time and again have caused spices to be a driving force for change. We live in a time calling out for change and for solutions to the very real problems our country and our planet face. There’s two very different futures ahead for us totally dependent on whether we solve these problems or not.

Joanne FreemanI have NO patience for people who claim that historians should be producing traditional scholarship and not addressing the public.
Historians should be engaging with EVERY public.
Talking about democracy.
Teaching about democracy.
Highlighting the gaslighting & correcting the whitewashing.
If ever there was a time for historians to step up & engage with the public for the sake of American democracy, it's NOW.

Woman: Yes, it is. How did you know?
Me: 🤦🏽♂️😅 N/m
Finally got a beta slot for @ivory and it’s great! All the benefits of Tweetbot and none of the toxic content!
Rod HiltonHe talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
Will OremusFolks in tech who say it's easy to criticize but hard to build... Sorry, no. It's easy to build if you don't care about the flaws or societal consequences or ripping off others' work. Any midwit sociopath can do that. The hard thing is to build something that *isn't* evil.
Taylor LorenzFeatures Mastodon desperately needs imo:
- MUCH better search functionality
