If you're going to post a black image today, please don't use hashtag blacklivesmatter. That will only flood the hashtag stream and drown out useful posts by organizers and activists.

This new June 1st update to Twitter also broke a lot of bindings Twitter had with the open Web, lol. Obviously not surprised. The only reason why I keep posting on there is for visibility. And even that isn’t useful (only for those marketing).

Sure is “funny” how one bad apple in the militarized police force is used as an excuse to do nothing, yet one bad apple in a group of peaceful protesters is used as an excuse to attack the entire crowd and every other crowd like it.

@jack is acting like France when they wanna say they support Black people but hasn’t lifted a finger when it comes to reflecting on their OWN personal contributions to the problem. https://twitter.com/jack/status/1267660970270134272
Look at your own wrongdoings that inflated these problems.

Europeans, hop off saying “this could never happen in your countries”. America is the child of y’alls rhetoric and knowledge. None of y’all have repaid back the debts to the Caribbean or Africa - y’all STILL benefiting off that shit. Pay that back and then we’ll talk.

This is the California National Guard, mobilized by Gov Newsom as requested by Mayor Garcetti.
It’s a state effort only, which is largely symbolic of another USA Federal failure, which might have underwritten a similar effort for COVID relief prior to the riots.
The US can't organize testing centers for covid but they can construct a military base in a few hours as soon as the status quo is threatened by the underprivileged

Are there any research groups out there that keep track of the Twitter UI & UX over time? I'm trying to nail down roughly when Twitter changed their signup flow to assign "David1234567" type names as a permanent username you need to change, rather than a suggestion during signup.

Stephen, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this truth and supporting it with scripture. At times, I feel alone in my own community because too few believers are willing to stand for social justice. I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there like this. Thanks.
Words I need pressed into me every day, but especially now. Racism is evil. Police brutality
is evil. We must care for one another, especially when it’s hard.

Still wrapping my head around teargassing people on your way to church. The disinfectant thing was less crazy.

I cannot understand how any of my Christian brothers and sisters can support this President. I’ve felt this way since before the election.
Happy to see more Christians coming out against him, but it should be far, far more.
I’m an atheist, but I really respect the Christians coming out against Trump right now. Please continue. As I understand it, your religion (like all religions) values l...

Guess what real solidarity looks like? Donating money. Not credits for your own product. Your product that has now become the only option for Carless essential workers as govt shuts down transit in cities with no notice.

They kept their lesbian relationship secret from their families who remarkably seemed surprised when they came out in the 2000s. Terry played in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s which is an interesting although not central fact. The central story is about love in the face of aging (and years of homophobia). So important that this story has been documented.</p>\n<p>On Netflix Party with Ann, Pat, and Al</p>\n<h2>Monty Python\u2019s Search for the Holy Grail \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>I hadn\u2019t seen this movie in a number of years but I found just as funny as ever. It\u2019s so silly in places and it\u2019s so smart in places. Sometimes it\u2019s smart and silly all at once. It holds up remarkably well and provided a much-needed laugh.</p>\n<p>On Netflix Party with Ann, Pat, and Al</p>\n<h2>Soylent Green \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>My movie buddies and I have made lists of movies that we want to share with each other for watching online. <em>Soylent Green</em> was on my list because I loved it as a kid. I still remember the shock I felt when the big (now much-parodied) secret was revealed. The movie was made in 1973 based on a 1966 novel and so some of its vision of life in 2022 (when the action of the movie takes place) is quite off. Despite that, there are a couple of moments related to food that I absolutely love. And I always find it interesting that mid-1970s vision of the future always included doors that slide into the wall at the touch of a hand.

Despite these flaws, the movie is compelling.</p>\n<p>On Amazon Prime with just myself</p>\n<h2>How to Build a Girl \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>Based on a novel by Caitlin Moran, this movie stars Beanie Feldstein, who starred in another high school girl coming of age movie recently (Booksmart). Feldstein\u2019s character in <em>How to Build a Girl</em> starts out as naive as her <em>Booksmart</em> character but her writing aspirations lead her to wrangle a job writing for a music magazine similar to <em>Rolling Stone. </em>She revels in the debauchery around her until she comes to her senses. It reminded me of <em>Almost Famous</em> but is far funnier. In fact, it is laugh out loud funny and mostly really sweet. My favorite part of the movie was Feldstein\u2019s character\u2019s bedroom wall covered with her intellectual heroes like the Bronte sisters, Sylvia Plath, and Sigmund Freud. The cameos on that wall allowed for some really funny banter.</p>\n<p>On Amazon Prime with Pat and Al</p>\n<h2>Life After Death \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>Two seasons of six half-hour episodes each. Ricky Gervais created and wrote this series. He stars as Tony, a reporter for a small, human-interest newspaper. Tony has lost his wife, the love of his life, to cancer. In the first season, he is full of anger and despair and it is moving and humanizing, The second season ups the ante as Tony moves to accpetance with a lingering sadness which sometimes veers toward despair. This is even sadder to watch. Be prepared to cry. A lot. But it\u2019s so good.</p>\n<p>On Netflix by myself</p>\n<h2>The Young Offenders \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>Very funny Irish movie about two dim-witted fifteen year olds who decide to make something of their lives by traveling to Cork to find bags of abandoned cocaine. The humor is a bit slap-sticky at times but the movie is funny enough in other ways that it doesn\u2019t matter. And the two main characters are so likeable.</p>\n<p>On Netflix Party with Ann, Pat, and Al</p>\n<h2>Gold Digger \u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>If this six episode series had stopped after five episodes, I would have given it five stars. The first five episodes are intriguing and full of realistic family drama. The last episode is a huge melodramatic let-down.
