I see people asking about verification here and it's actually pretty easy and as a plus it's not centralized. All you need to do is connect a domain you own to your account which acts as verification and alter your handle to that domain name.

Outside the first of two Targets we occupied today, because Target is complicit with ICE.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

“This is really forcing us to re-evaluate everything we think we know about microplastics in the body. Which, it turns out, is really not very much. Many researchers are making extraordinary claims, but not providing even ordinary evidence.”

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

That Time "Architects of AI" cover encapsulates the moment perfectly: impossibly rich and destructive billionaires cosplaying working men (while actively destroying jobs and robbing the working class), and an enthralled media that eagerly plays along and props up the lie at every turn.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

My favorite player growing up, then somehow a friend later in life.
His foundation looked after kids who needed a little help.
Classy and kind and kept his Brooklyn accent.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.
