If you’re in Tennessee’s 7th district, vote for Aftyn Behn- it’s a much tighter race than expected(in a good way). Tennessee going for a progressive is a huge deal, and ofc would be a major blow to republicans.

Imagine a British PhD student having to write entire thesis in fluent Chinese. Deliver talks & network at Chinese conferences and Chinese dominated social media. Without any support. Weird? That's a norm for every academic not born in an Anglophone country. And it's not treated as a crisis. 🤔

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving
The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue

How Starbucks tried to quash union activity in Colorado
The coffee giant shuttered a store in Colorado Springs in 2022 shortly after its workers voted to unionize. A federal agency later ordered Starbucks to reopen that store, along with 22 others.

So Disney says the reason the MCU started declining is because there was too much content being churned out.
And now they're planning to fill their subscription service with potentially as much user-generated MCU content as their audience can generate? 🤔🤔🤔
