Think what you will about the Smith’s (and there is A LOT there to talk/think/question about), but this is a damn good thing.  Good for him. 

It is great that the Smith family is helping the people of Flint, but man I am so tired of seeing celebrities and billionaires having to step up and do the government’s job. 

I follow a bunch of science AND gender writers/tweeters/researchers on Twitter so this is All Over My Feed last two days and there are loads of absolutely terrible takes but definitely my least favourite is Economics Bro being like “uhhh this can’t be true because pharma companies want to make money? so obvs they…

Do not fall for the Follow Your Bliss bullshit. Do not look for your job to fulfill your emotional needs. It’s a paycheck. You owe them a day’s work and they owe you a paycheck. That’s it.

Only a really rich person would voluntarily not eat for hours and then talk about how much time they have without framing it around meals. #bye

He was thinking he wouldn’t get caught. Which is just arrogance, not even stupidity.

I confess I absolutely cannot wrap my head around the Smollett case. Like....WHY?? It’s just so astoundingly stupid if this is all true. Like, no rational cost/benefit analysis would make this even remotely feasible. Gamble your career and reputation on what, a pay raise? To be fair, I absolutely don’t get the…

Seems as though the judge knows she’ll win her case and the only punishment he can give is to keep her in jail while the process plays out. This is a gross abuse of power.

Here’s my Siberian Husky buddy, Linux. He’s 5. Finally learned that naps are pretty cool. He’s a good boy with bad habits that stem from my boyfriend having acquired him while living with 5 other early-twenties dudes who had ZERO interest in enforcing training rules (like no human food for the doggy). Now we just have…

Balto tells everyone his owner is a criminal nutjob.

No, we’re Great Again™.

Batshit wackos are everywhere, but the fact that one can create a baseless company valued at $9 billion and another can become President of the United States is unsettling. Has America gotten dumber, greedier, more gullible or all of the above?

I get worried when legitimate complaints of Bernie get handwaved away as: “Well you don’t have to like him to support him”. It reeks of the same double-standard Trump supporters use. With the field that exists today, we don’t need to hitch up to this wagon again.

He shouldn’t be the Democratic Party candidate for president.

Bingo. Capitalism isn’t going away any time soon, and Warren at least understands that, and understands the system well enough to figure out how to change it

It’s amazing that his positions galvanized a new generation of activism and have pushed the Democratic field to the left. He is demanding many things that we sorely need. I also agree that responsible adults must compartmentalize to some degree when it comes to political candidates - you won’t like EVERYTHING about…

Bernie has fought for progressive causes all his life.  Terrific.  Let him continue to do so from the Senate.  Or as an elder statesman in the private sector.  He shouldn’t be the Democratic Party candidate for president.

This article makes me feel like if I’m not supporting him then it must be because I just don’t “like” the guy. I’m not supporting him for the DEM2020 Primary for a whole bunch of reasons and “likability” is not one of them.

No, I think “said this shit to make money off idiots" is better than lawyer-speak because his fan-base don't understand lawyer-speak, but they might understand that

I hope he gets sued out of existence. He should also have to make a public statement saying, “I’m full of shit and said this shit to make money off idiots, no matter who it affected.” That, but more lawyerly.
