@ProjectFearlessness yeah the jets are "only" 2.2bn ea.
You spill someone’s drink, you buy them another.
You break a window, you pay for it.
Let’s make that true for oil and gas corporations.

@ProjectFearlessness wow that's enormous money! Have you got a source link?
I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.
Labour was born as a party of protest. Now it calls protest "terrorism."
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
USA population 331,449,281 (Wikipedia)
USA police [1] 324,951 = 0.1%
11k × 0.1% = 11 expected,
Actual is 301, 27×over represented!
Trans population 0.5% -1.6%
Using worst case* 0.5%, 11k → 55 people,
Actual is 5, 0.1× represented (11× under rep.)
27 ÷ 0.1 = 270
Police are 270× more likely than trans people to be child sexual abusers in the USA.
does this maths look right?
*for this argument
@swift @mattsheffield the idea that we use police to police trans ppl where police are one hundred times more likely to molest children is the most inefficient use of taxpayer money ever devised.
@morfil @mattsheffield I'm interested in the maths? (I tried and got it wrong, I assume)
Perhaps time to post this as a reminder that there is far far more that unites the diversity of human beings around the globe than separates us. Those in governments who "other" people who are "not the same as us" play a dangerous and inhuman game.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as [US-ers]! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, [fvck] that‼️

@thebaywindowgirl all my pictures of swifts are like this but blurrier!
@camelia ooooh riiiight. I thought the salaries were high for stationery quality assurance!
@silhelm I bought the Asa Blue hoping it would be like the color you have but it's much deeper/darker.
@silhelm the Lamy pen copes fine with other inks but that cyan lamy ink dries up my Kaweco Sport as well.
I love Diamine inks, will look out for that one. Aurora Borealis is a fave.
@RickiTarr Christians made me right wing as a young teen. Jesus made me left wing! So I left the Christians to their insular angry God made in their own image.
