attention everyone: I am heterosexual now. that's right, I'm what 'heterosexual' means from now on. if you've been using a meaning of heterosexual that doesn't coincide with me, that sense is deprecated, and you need to use a new word now. may I suggest "yorp"?

#JewsAgainstICE still blockading the Atlanta ICE Field Office! We’re not moving because every day that ICE is “just doing their job” is another day of roundups, concentration camps, family separation, & terror for our undocumented neighbors.

45 has spent $340M on Golf

FYI: It would cost $338M to test every one of America’s 225,000 rape kits currently sitting on shelves

So Govt can find $340M for golf—but not to deliver justice to 225,000 Americans who survived rape?🤔

Inexcusable

This is a fascinating thread about how IBM’s technology enabled the Holocaust.

Tech companies have repeatedly shown their willingness to place profits ahead of morality. Don’t trust that they’ll do the right thing this time around. https://twitter.com/neveragainactn/status/1149369311364046849

@darius has been doing some quality work in lowering the bar of entry for folks to enter the fedi on their own terms, so this is a must read. Great piece.

blocking ads is evil grr
HTTP is a pull-based medium. it is within the original philosophy of HTTP to selectively pull the data, for example, a device that doesn't support images won't download them. by circumventing ad "blocking", you are spitting in the face of HTTP. a more accurate term would be ad rejection. ads are not "blocked", they are simply not asked for.

If you want to idolize a French woman fashion designer why not Madeleine Vionnet?

She wasn't a fascist, paid her workers well, and her clothes were divine. During WW2 she closed her fashion house and fled France. https://twitter.com/notallbhas/status/1146233678751850496

Dear @TransferWise@twitter.com Have you implemented an AI that discriminates Africans? Does your platform now assume who my family and friends are? I'd like to know how you came to such a conclusion considering that I've only ever sent money to friends & family in Ghana and Nigeria 🤦‍♂️🏾
