My REAL question is when are we going to put Ryan Gosling and James Marsden in a bonafide musical again (preferably directed/choreographed by Kenny Ortega)

A few reminders as we head into Thanksgiving:
-Don't comment on someone's body, even if it looks different than the last time you saw it.
-Don't comment on someone's food choices. Those are inside thoughts.
-Don't assign moral value to food. You don't need to "earn" pie.

Hey, uh, don't kick the accessibility buttons that open doors for people. People have to touch those and they don't know where you shoe has been.

I am an Israeli Jew. This is probably the worst week of my life. And yet today of all days it bears repeating: the only way to end this cycle is by working for freedom and dignity for all. For all. On all sides, our blood is the same color and our tears taste the same.

Your brand has taken a hit with the public @DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews but there's still time to be the hero. Make the right choice, recognize it's #Timefor5 & put #PeopleOverProfits and you will be rewarded.

impossible to tell who to support when one side would lose their homes and the other would be totally fine and still very wealthy
The studios and streamers' plan is to reportedly 'break the WGA'
“The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses"

An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

Today my brother made a video about how the patent on a drug for Tuberculosis should be expiring, but that Johnson and Johnson is extending with a legal loophole for four extra years.
As a result, experts estimate that six million people will die.

Hey, so we're coming to the end of Day One for the poor admin of @JNJNews. Please let your bosses know that hundreds of thousands of people are horrified and disgusted by J&J's attempt to extend their monopoly on bedaquiline, a critical tuberculosis drug.
SIX MILLION people who need to access bedaquiline will be unable to do so over the next four years unless J&J backs down. I wish I could tell the @JNJGlobalHealth admin that tomorrow will be better. But actually it will be worse. The pressure will grow.
Learn about the crisis and what you can do: youtu.be/tMhgw5SW0h4

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.
"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. n.pr/3yT1Olt

We're working toward universal pre-K with a $1 billion total investment—an increase of nearly $110 million over last year.
Full-day child care can total over $20,000 of a family's annual budget. Every seat we fill in a pre-K class makes life more affordable for working parents.
