♲ @mattblaze@twitter.com: I'm a broken record on this, but I'll say it again (and again): if you want to really understand elections and help improve them, there's no better way to start than to become a poll worker. It's a fun civic activity, and you'll learn an enormous amount.

♲ @itswalela@twitter.com: This is exactly why eco justice cannot exist w/o having an anti colonial and anti capitalist politic. The earth cannot be saved by “green capitalism,” the land cannot be respected under the rule of capitalism & colonialism. We NEED humanity to take precedence over profits.

♲ @housetrotter@twitter.com: aaron mcgruder got major newspapers to publish these strips about the us govt/taliban/mujahideen connection ~4 weeks after 9/11. king.

♲ @singularo@twitter.com: @nixcraft So Apple who have benefitted massively by using an open source product - bash - are going to change to different software rather than release their changes or improvements? If that's truly the reason, then Wow, Apple suck.

♲ @atroyn@twitter.com: Things that happen in Silicon Valley and also the Soviet Union:

- waiting years to receive a car you ordered, to find that it's of poor workmanship and quality

- promises of colonizing the solar system while you toil in drudgery day in, day out

♲ @TheLastMerlin@twitter.com: It's ridiculous how many exchanges go like -

Marginalized group: "We face this problem more than the privileged group."

Privileged group: "You must be lying or mistaken, because we've never experienced that."

Marginalized group: "That's...that's the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT."

♲ @andraydomise@twitter.com: If "None of your fucking business" is not an acceptable answer for "What did you do with your own private time, while between jobs," then we're doing labour wrong.

♲ @andraydomise@twitter.com: At least stand behind your hiring practices if you're gonna tweet them for clout

♲ @shaun_jen@twitter.com: if you say a racist joke, and people call you racist, then "it was a joke!" is not a defense. the likelihood is you were called racist because your joke was racist, not because the accuser can't spot a joke. thankyou

♲ @holdyourbutts@twitter.com: Today I found out Medicare will not cover ANY of the bills related to a cervical cancer treatment I received last fall. Their reasoning? I’ve had a radical hysterectomy, so anything gynecological is unnecessary and elective. It’s not just abortion rights in danger.

♲ @mainframed767@twitter.com: Google, what's up?

♲ @mbueckert@twitter.com: .@MaximeBernier just shared a video from a QAnon account

♲ @techworkersco@twitter.com: Facebook is unveiling a cryptocurrency. Employees may choose to have their salaries paid in this cryptocurrency.

It's really hard to come up with lightly satirical takes some days.

(At least company scrip used to physically exist! Heh, still got it.) www.cnbc.com/2019/06/05/facebo…

♲ @Asher_Wolf@twitter.com: I’m so sorry. This is so terribly wrong.

♲ @ErnstMOKKA@twitter.com: It's been a week now since I've released Fäiser. If you haven't played the game, I think you should (especially if you like the kind of game that rumbles a lot) and also please tell everyone you know about it!
