I was 48 when I sold my first script, 52 when it got made, 54 when it was released.

Let me and tonight’s #Oscars be your reminder that it is never too late, you are never too old.

And ladies, as #MichelleYeoh said, we are NEVER past our prime.

Don’t stop until you’re dead.

Just to emphasise the magnitude of difference between #billion and #million :

A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.

This is a fantastic summary of #Religion as it’s practiced. Especially among American #Evangelicals.

#Theists:
For argument’s sake, let’s say God exists and that he is the god you happen to believe in.

Please detail the evidence that connects your God to *anything* that happens on Earth.

In historic shift, Minnesota pushes to abolish subminimum wages for people with disabilities https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-disabilities-subminimum-wage-work-sheltered-workshop-civil-rights-federal-legislation/600258249/?refresh=true

Great news! British Columbia will become the first province in Canada to make prescription contraception free for all residents.

Access to contraception is a fundamental right. More places should follow suit.

Billionaires lost $1.9 trillion in 2022.

Elon Musk lost $115 billion.

Jeff Bezos lost $80 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg lost $78 billion.

Say it with me, they can afford a wealth tax.

If Neo-Nazis weren't white, they'd have been assassinated and rounded up by law enforcement and barred from politics forever by now.

That they are and they haven't tells you everything, really.

What GOP will regulate:
•Guns❌
•Banks❌
•Railroads❌
•Mortgages❌
•Food & water❌
•Toxic dumping❌
•Carbon emissions❌
•COVID safety rules❌
•Billionaire tax rates❌
•Campaign donations❌
•Dialogue on racism✅
•Women’s bodies✅
•Contraception✅
•History books✅

There certainly seems to be more evidence for the latter view than the former!

It's the damndest thing...

When I was growing up, they made me say a pledge every day that said "liberty and justice for all."

They taught me "the golden rule."

They sent me to church to learn about a guy who said we should help the poor and the sick, we should show love to each other.

They told me that "but everyone else is doing it" wasn't an excuse for my own bad behavior.

And now when I advocate for the things that they taught me, they call me a socialist or a communist.

The GOP’s new Weaponization of the Federal Gov’t subcommittee has started hearings - so far it’s “a political stunt” says Ranking Member Rep. Stacey Plaskett. They “want this to be Benghazi 2.0.” #velshi http://ow.ly/Wopp50NgeFm

Trans rights are under threat. This is “a road test for authoritarianism” in the US, says Imara Jones, as the GOP is working to “demonize and stigmatize an entire group of people in order to build the type of society that religious zealots want.” #velshi http://ow.ly/gX7n50NgeBx

You don't need separate accounts to interact with different kinds of Fediverse servers.

For example, if you have a Mastodon account you can follow PeerTube accounts such as @theatticdwellers or @alliterative and their videos will appear in your Mastodon timeline as if they were Mastodon posts.

If you reply to a PeerTube video within Mastodon, the reply will also appear as a comment below that video on PeerTube. (And comments made on PeerTube will appear as replies on Mastodon.)
