🇬🇧 For today's #SaferInternetDay #SID2023, I call for more commitment to online safety and a better internet for children and young people. This includes above all education, awareness and parental support. (1/4)

The average annual cost of owning a car is $8000.
Depending on the model it can range from $5000 to $12000,though.

If local governments really wanted to "ease the pressure of costs of living" on their populations, they'd fund #PublicTransport, #cycling and #walking, allowing people the freedom to NOT own a car and automatically putting 8k dollars in the pockets of every ex motorist.

#carDependency is financial ruin for cities.

Claiming someone elses marriage is against your religion is like being angry at someone for eating a donut when you're on a diet. #samelove

A few years ago, I was waiting to cross the street in Manhattan, when this lady approached me. As I turned to her, she hands me a card. She's a psychic.

So I promptly returned the card back, and replied:

"You already know I'm not coming."

(And we both laughed.)

What happens when a star fails to ignite? It becomes a brown dwarf. Astronomers have imaged one of these “failed stars” directly for the first time. #astronomy #space #scicomm https://trib.al/6DIgznf

Why should we insist on free software in education? "[B]ecause it is the only software that allows them to accomplish their essential missions: to disseminate human knowledge and to prepare students to be good members of their community." Read more: https://u.fsf.org/1dz

I usually store no more than 500 pounds of acorns in my walls. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/02/07/acorns-woodpeckers-california-house/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F390f70d%2F63e288ed1b79c61f8780b356%2F597a036fade4e26514cb5fd8%2F31%2F70%2F63e288ed1b79c61f8780b356&wp_cu=3d56aa15dc961cafd4f9d95a244b76e4%7C23b1ae6a-e88e-11df-bd09-12313b066011

If I say I was driving back from Tijuana Mexico, and Mexican please pull me over and took $1,000 from me, you will say "Mexican police are corrupt!" and maybe follow up with some racist statements.

But if a Black US driver is driving in Florida, police can just take $10,000 from her in broad daylight, without even bothering to accuse her of a crime.

It is very risky for poor Black folk to do any cash based transaction in the US. Not because they might get robbed by criminals, but by the cops.
