The one thing linguistic prescriptivists and pedants are correct on is that "begs the question" should not be used as a synonym for "raises the question". Hold the line comrades.

the two astronauts trapped in space have a voting plan so i don’t want to hear excuses from anyone

This is spectacular. Right on the money. Whoever wrote this absolutely understands our popular culture.

Yo anyone from the 1390s on this app

while haiti is in the news so much this week maybe we should all take a moment to discuss the fact that their economic destitution is entirely due to being forced to spend ~80% of their federal budget every year for 150 years on reparations to france for freeing the slaves

There should be calls on JD Vance not just to step down from the ticket, but resign from office. And not just from Democrats.

Ruby Bridges has an instagram account Desegregation wasn’t that long ago

my 4yo waved at a man with a face and neck full of tattoos he waved back 4yo [yelling]: MOM THAT MAN IS SO *FANCY* HI FANCY MAN YOU’RE FANCY

GenAI in libraries reminds me about how when I started working in libraries there was so much excitement and time/energy invested in second life. Everything was going to be on second life, we had to have a reference desk in second life, we were going to teach classes in it, etc.

🚨 DOJ, are you listening? Trump shamelessly urged his naïve followers to cast multiple ballots, a blatant act of voter fraud! This reckless call for illegal action is un-American and deserves major news coverage.

In the wake of jd vance admitting he ‘created’ the pet-eating story, and as a result of the very real threats the communities and people he has targeted are now under… I am calling on him to RESIGN as our Senator.

JD Vance: Don’t interrupt me. You didn’t interrupt Harris and Waltz. Dana Bash: if Harris and Waltz were making baseless claims about people eating cats and dogs that had racist undertones then I would interrupt them as well! 👇👌

Art Candee 🍿🥤 Just a reminder to all women in America that JD Vance was one of 20+ MAGA signatories requesting that state agencies have the authority to monitor women's menstrual cycles. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/jd-vanc…

Resident supposed to be on call with me has COVID. New rules are you can work if wearing a mask and are 24hrs without a fever. No thank you. Stay your ass at home. I will round by myself. How did we get here??? I am pissed!! We work with pregnant and cancer patients all day!

Well, this non-profit turned out to be as scammy as Trump University. As the NYT summarized: “Mr. Vance’s nonprofit group raised only about $220,000, hired only a handful of staff members, shrank drastically in 2018 and died for good in 2021.” 5/

They had been lured by the promise of helping Ohio, but instead had been used to help Mr. Vance start his career in politics….During its brief life, Mr. Vance’s organization paid a political consultant who also advised Mr. Vance about entering the 2018 Senate race…. 8/

as someone who has intentionally sought out & consumed extremist content for years now, i am so worried about the fact that stuff i used to have to dig around in the dark corners for is just mixed in with the content we’re all consuming on a day to day basis.

I’ll admit, my *first* thought when I tested+ last month was, “Maybe this won’t be so bad and I’ll feel comfortable easing up on restrictions a little.” Instead I was sick as a dog for 19 days and ended up hospitalized with small collapses in both lungs and a perforated bowel.

we are going about our lives but with a mask on our faces. That’s it. It’s not that hard. I’m not losing sleep worrying about getting sick. I’m not anxious & living in fear. I’m just out & about wearing a mask indoors. I’m staying informed & up to date on the science

I can’t stop thinking about her son. Now, a motherless child. The GOP is killing mothers. They knew women would die. And they didn’t care. And here we are.
