My mom in '72 in then Yugoslavia had a job, a house, a bank account all in her name. It has been hard to fathom just how backwards & anachronous the US has been & still is in some aspects (eg reproductive health).

Where does this money go instead? What other (local?) journalism outlets can stand to benefit?

I bought a new carry-on a few weeks ago & the marketing messaging since it arrived has been relentless making me question 1/ how frequently should one buy luggage & 2/ the qualify of the piece I just got because why would I need to think about more luggage unless it breaks down.

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

An amazing PR own goal from @Intuit. The flack emails @reckless to get him to delete a (pretty mild, entirely fair) exchange with the CEO about Intuit's decades-long efforts to block free tax filing for Americans. Good for @TheVerge not to be cowed. theverge.com/2024/10/21/2427…

My mother, Sally Challen, was branded a cold-blooded killer. At last, she has justice. The fact that society is ahead of the CPS in understanding domestic violence is a damaging indictment of the criminal justice system. My comment for The Observer. theguardian.com/society/2019…
