If we funded everything else properly the police wouldn't need their funding.

hey, are you doomscrolling?

It's been a long day. You and your mental health deserve a break. A good night's rest is always a good idea.

When you expose a racist student, you stop them from attending a university that will allow them to become a racist healthcare worker, teacher, lawyer, real estate developer, politicians, etc.

It's time to end the terms "slave" and "master" in Photography https://buff.ly/2Uhk6ZM

On Twitch, DMCA takedowns, and bans:

You CAN’T play music on stream unless you have/pay for the licensing.

Just giving credit by showing name and title or providing your song list is the same energy as asking an artist to work for exposure.

He tripped and fell. We all saw it.

“YouTube sucks. You can’t make any money on there.”

“How many videos have you posted?”

“7.”

🤦🏻‍♂️

Still thinking about how people were like “not all cops!” then literally all cops in Buffalo were like “no, it’s all of us”

Folks in music tech who are looking for ways to help: Now would be a good time to remove "master"/"slave" terminology everywhere. Oscillator sync, MIDI, etc. There are better terms in every case.

Blogs = still the best representation of the Internet’s promise. Everyone should have a site that they own, not just a social media account (which are great for promoting blog posts).

I want to remind you that statues aren’t history books and that taking one down isn’t erasing history. It’s more like finally taking a Sublime poster off your wall. It’s over. Let’s move on.

I like how people say "manage your depression" like it's a stock portfolio but you're heavily invested in sadness

False news on private Facebook groups have brought out frightened, gun-clutching people to small towns all over the country, expecting influxes of the dreaded "antifa" to show up.
Instead, they find a small, peaceful demonstration, & no antifa

Paul, why don’t you stand down and admit for once that you don’t know everything? The Internet has had to listen to you opine ad nauseum for decades on whatever suited you because you seem to believe that becoming wildly rich once made you a general experts on all topics.

Apparently the folks at @microsoft and McCann Erickson feel that that the #blacklivesmatter Movement and protests will not be relevant after this weekend. 😳

People are asking, “You expect cops to remain calm even when they’re being yelled at, threatened, or attacked?”

Yes. I expect them to be trained to remain calm. Trained to de-escelate. That’s the only way they ensure our safety and theirs.

As others have said: Teachers do this. Nurses do this.

I refuse to use “whitelist”/“blacklist” or “master”/“slave” terminology for computers. Join me. Words matter.
