Tim Scott plays like your nice friend who keeps sticking with a toxic partner
Reminder that Joe Biden has zero control over whether schools reopen.
Tim “America is not a racist nation” cosponsored an antilynching bill with Sens Booker and Harris that @RandPaul blocked
Very confused by this speech which talks about the racism Scott and his family faced and then denies it more broadly persists.

Personally, I think we should move beyond the point where the First Spouse (if there is one) is "in charge" of decorating the White House or designing the Rose Garden, unless they're into it.
Like we don't expect the First Lady/Gentleman to cook for every state dinner. They hire an executive chef (who yeah, seeks input/sign off but...) for that.
I have zero love or respect for Melania, but I think the Rose Garden had some real drainage issues that had to be attended to.

And if we're going to do before/after photo outrage, those photos should be at the exact same time of year.

 *feeling some substack et al heat. And by heat, they want to keep all revenue on their platform
*$ Only 5 million? Facebook and Google have effectively stripped the entire journalism ecosystem of revenue. And this is all?

2/ every single time Facebook has "offered' journalists "tools" to help them, there's always been a ginormous catch.

1/ Absolute must-read from @H_Lev on how Robinhood. The proximate tragedy is the suicide of one young investor who thought he'd have to repay gobs of money. But the real story is how dangerous the "gamification" interface is on a much broader scale: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
2/ You've likely read a lot about Robinhood and Gamestop, but do you understand how Robinhood’s revenue model depends on its traders making frequent, uninformed trades? tl;dr: Most customers lose money while Robinhood and ****its Wall Street partners**** clean up. Image
3/ You might think Robinhood makes money by getting tiny fee or fraction of your trade. Nope. It makes money from finder’s fee from Wall Street firms and flash traders who make money *executing* those trades. Image

My timeline full of men across the ideological spectrum who are now upset that people are still wearing masks outside.

Why...do you care so much?
I swear if you think of asking men to wear a mask as asking them to wear a condom, all the rage and disdain makes sense.
Some people still wear masks because they are afraid and maybe for good reason, you don’t know! And some for social signaling and some out of some kind of fear of mild rebuke and jfc, this is not our biggest problem.

Harvey Milk is of course the most famous/consequential victim. But Dan White, ex-cop and city Supervisor, also killed Mayor Moscone. Diane Feinstein, prez of board of Supes, had to tell the city of their deaths, and immediate start her new job as acting mayor.

So anyway...yeah.
Aside from everything else, Dan White killing fellow city supervisor and the mayor is a horrific act of workplace violence. cool cool
"As President of the Board of Supervisors, it's my duty to make this announcement. Both Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk have been shot and killed. The suspect is Supervisor Dan White." --Diane Feinstein, who found both bodies, telling the city:
