@patrascan @VeroniqueB99 women could have bank accounts. As a child I had a bank account. What changed was passage of a federal law requiring that women have the same credit as their husbands. This was a tsunami

@patrascan @VeroniqueB99 The mother of longtime reporter Cokie Roberts, became a member of Congress when her husband died. She was wealthy and from an influential family, the type of woman who had never been told “no”. As a new widow and member of Congress she found she had no credit rating and could not secure a loan or credit card. Needless to say this made an impression. She drove legislation that extended a husband’s credit rating to his wife.

@aral I know you’re getting traction on this, but it should be edited. Israel denies EVER targeting a hospital and states Islamic Jihad was firing missiles into Israel when the hospital was hit. Those missiles reportedly have a 30% failure rate. 30%!

Claiming Israel is committing genocide is irresponsible, antisemitic, and leads to death. Be responsible

@brusgaard good morning! Looking forward to your posts, good to have you here. Having disappointed myself by lacking the math skills to go into stem I’m doing my part to encourage the next gen - I’ve off-loaded a microscope and our kids’ collection of sharks’ teeth onto a 5 year old. (The trilobites are next).

@georgetakei I remember seeing a news article a few years ago with a picture of the happy couple drinking a $900 bottle of wine at their home. On a salary of what, $200,000?! Psstshew #clarencethomas
