Hard to comprehend the scale of the flood disaster in Pakistan, the 5th most populated nation in the world.
Nearly 1400 dead, 1 million houses damaged or destroyed, and 50,000,000 people displaced.
1/3 of the country is underwater.

i love when a trump thing happens and lawyers start tweeting like "holy fucking shit i'm screaming at the top of my lungs and busting through my jeans" and then the picture they attached is just a document that says "Plaintiff's motion cites civil procedure 6.1(c)(5) ยง 2022."

A company is an โit,โ not a โthem.โ
When a corporation does something, donโt say โtheyโ did it. Say โitโ did.
Doing that will supply a distinct but powerful shift in perspective.

Lachlan Murdoch wants to sue for this sentence.
โThe Murdochs and their slew of poisonous Fox News commentators are the unindicted co-conspirators of this continuing crisis.โ
It'd be a shame if people started simply retweeting it.

Almost eleven years ago Occupy Wall St. erupted and pundits rushed to pronounce it a failure and then over, and what happened with student debt today was an offshoot of OWS whose impacts can still be felt in many ways. It's not over. Change never is.

Iโll remind folks of what Iโve posted before: in 1960 you could pay for a full year at the University of Minnesota with SIX WEEKS at a minimum wage job.
Student debt is a consequence of the systematic defunding of higher education, not bad borrower decisions. #CancelStudentDebt

While us Finns love gripe about the state railways, they do much very right. When I travel, I usually go by train and have practically no problems. Even with a bike.
Also: having a play area with a picture of Krtek doing their dance moves is pretty cool.

Let's talk about Finnish trains. I'm on the turku tampere inter city, there's a restaurant car, small booths for speaking on the phone and a freaking play area in one of the carriages. Total game changer! Apparently the co2 emissions for my journey are 0. #flyingless

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.
It began with a heart attack ๐งต
