Teacher: William Shakespeare is credited with the invention of over 1,700 words. He was a linguistic genius.

Student: Can I make up words and use them in my papers?

Teacher: Absolutely fucking not.

Fun fact: the first episode of The Twilight Zone delayed by the #SAG-AFTRA and #WGA #strikes in 1960 was “The Mighty Casey,” a cautionary fable about replacing baseball players with #robots.

David Tennant, of Dr Who fame, apparently said some pro trans things and now the TERFs are going after him on Twitter. His response is that he isn't worried because, and I quote, "I'll be fine, Terfs can't climb stairs"

I want that on a T-shirt. No, I NEED that on a T-shirt!

In 2016 Kushner & Kislyak wanted to set up a secret communications channel between Trump’s transition team & the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities?

https://www.rawstory.com/classroom-teachers/ “The legislation would also completely eliminate funding for a number of Education Department programs, including Federal Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Promise Neighborhoods, and Child Care Access Means Parents in School.” People wise up. These folks don’t care about teachers, the middle class, working poor or anyone. You give folks great tax breaks. Then cut education funding.

We cannot leave any city and village under russian occupation, where violence and humiliation of people reign – address by V. #Zelenskyy President of #Ukraine 15/07/23

I am grateful to all our partners – every leader, every politician, public figure, every country who really supports us in the fact that only the complete liberation of our entire Ukrainian territory will allow the full force of the international rules-based order to be restored.

@AlliFlowers BOO! His usual AHole self. The GOP really wants to dismantle Washington DC Federal Entities, and move the pieces to “friendly territory” where they can be remade in Master’s effigy.

@AlliFlowers Ted Lieu was impressive.
I hate being negative, but I can’t think of a better more appropriate time. Trump is a blank, blank, blank, blank, blank (fill in all the usual despicable adjectives. A pertinent question is when will 1/3 of the US get their heads out of their asses or are we down for the count? Will this be the Right imploding or will it be the great National unraveling? 🤔

"It's Official: Smartphones Will Need To Have Replaceable Batteries By 2027"

Good, now make it mandatory by 2025 instead. And make the battery the same on all smartphones, similar to the earlier USB-C decision.

I can hear the screams of the lobbyists, but I don't care. 4 years is way too long. The emergency is NOW.

NEW: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is demanding access to information about Mississippi residents who obtain abortions or gender-affirming care in other states.

She and 18 other Republican attorneys generals say investigators need access to the information to enforce their states' laws banning abortion and gender-affirming care.
