Did you know that so-called "jaywalking" laws were passed by and for rich people with automobiles, who didn't want the riff-raff stepping off curbs to cross the street and make them slow down? #Fact#Facts#History
Japan has this short clip show called Pythagora(s) Switch [ピタゴラスイッチ], with all kinds of Rube Goldberg machines. The jingle at the end, which just repeats the show title, is super cute. This episode is epic! #Japan 🇯🇵 https://youtu.be/KcI2b-hi8Mc
I do not know how migrant workers and others work long shifts outdoors in this heat. I'm in my mid fifties, and today, I got nauseous with dry heaves just by loading two 40 pound bags of water softener salt pellets into my car's boot today at the supermarket. Thank Sweet Jebus for AC. California, obviously, but here in Florida, especially, where the governor passed a bill refusing workers water breaks and rest periods. With the GOP, the cruelty is the point. #ClimateChange #HeatWave

Donald "The Rapist" Trump today used twice the phrase "One thousand percent" in support of his corrupt GOP flunkies. Not only is Trump no mathematician, he also does not understand the definition of the word "hyperbole". He's just a mean, stupid asshole. 🤡 #TrumpIsAnIdiot
Ron DeSantis has the whiniest voice in U. S. politics. (Jim Jordan is second.) Whenever I hear their voices, I go into super-cringe mode. It's a physical sensation of repugnance and revulsion. Agree? #RonDeathSantis #GymJordan
Ignore the smoke and mirrors, the makeup, the flashbulbs, the three-hour hair stylings, orange spray-tans, and PhotoShopped images. This is what Donald Trump really looks like. A tired, defeated, 300-pound, wrinkled, bald old man with major health issues. This is what his base wants to vote for. This is the cult mentality. #DumpTrump #NeverAgain #RidinWithBiden
How many of you actors will go on strike tonight if the deal for writers is not made? For reals. How many of you will support your colleagues, without whom your careers would be nothing? 🤨 #HollywoodStrike #WritersStrike #unionize#unions
Somewhere out there in the Fediverse is someone who really, desperately needs to see a cute baby goat wearing a woolen sweater. You're welcome. #GoatyMcGoaterson#goats
