Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

about once a week, i have to explain to someone on the phone that the police have no obligation to do anything for you and, even if their refusal literally leads to your murder, the courts have been clear that there's no case to pursue

A man has been using Facebook to terrorize his ex and their children. He brags about it: “I want her to worry about who’s waiting on the corner.” But police do nothing and nobody seems to take it seriously. Chilling story from Stacy St Clair and Joe Mahr www.chicagotribune.com/2024/07/07/f...

How one man uses Facebook to frighten his children's mother and why police do nothingwww.chicagotribune.com An analysis of data from nearly two dozen Illinois police departments found police rarely arrest people for electronic harassment, even as complaints increase.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

what men think women are judging them for: - not being rich enough - not knowing everything - not being perfect at things - not taking charge enough what women are actually judging men for: - covering all those insecurities up by being a reflexively negative dick to the people they love most

Tori Amos’s cover of Thank You Patti Smith’s cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit Body Count’s covers of Institutionalized and Ace of Spades Ella Fitzgerald’s cover of Sunshine Of Your Love

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

Like, even now, the story is about the power dynamic of the employment relationship and not about the fact that he painfully sexually violated her without her consent and after she had told him “no” repeatedly.

The problem is that the Trump admin was full of generic white assholes so I can’t be sure, but this guy looks a fuck of a lot like the guy in the story I’m about to tell.

That's the difference that I think is easily missed here. JKR doesn't care about her reputation. She wants to shut up people and hurt them. Her threats don't do anything to keep her from trashing her own legacy and reputation; anything but.

I've been seeing people saying that because JK Rowling routinely uses UK libel law to silence critics, Gaiman's failure to immediately do so shows his guilt. That's incorrect, and I think it's worth talking about why - it goes to important facets of defamation law abuse. 🧵⚖️

It’s funny cause people tell me *all the time* how they’ve learned from me and found community through my posts and been uplifted and connected to others and gotten tools to recognize and fight hate and felt less alone in the world. But I guess fuck that right? I’m not accomplishing anything.

I went to the dentist & she had a screen above chair w/Netflix, which suggested Bridgerton & I thought why not check it out and WHY DID NONE OF YOU WARN ME THAT THERE WOULD BE A TEN MINUTE LONG STEAMY & DETAILED SEX SCENE RIGHT AT THE TOP THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WATCH WHILE SHE DRILLED MY TEETH

We have reached a display about the geology of the region. “I once wrote erotica about a volcano in Finland 350 million years ago,” my guide says, as solemnly as if discussing eating a badger.

Netchoice opinion is out (first amendment vs regulation of social media). It’s not bad! It’s good! Tl;dr: 1A analysis needs to be performed for the entire scope of the law. Injunctions maintained, both appellate decisions reversed and remanded. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

I think that in order to handle the absolutely crushing caseload this decision will create we should, as soon as practiceable, add six justices
