Huge News for Net Neutrality

golvio:

They’re going to hold the Senate vote for the CRA sometime during mid-May, after the Senate recess, according to Politico.

MARKEY: NET NEUTRALITY VOTE IN MAY — Sen. Ed Markey,
the chief sponsor of a measure to overturn the FCC’s repeal of the net
neutrality rules via the Congressional Review Act, says he envisions it
hitting the floor next month. “We’re going to file it right after the
break and then we expect sometime in the middle of May to have it on the
Senate floor,” Markey told MT. The Massachusetts Democrat didn’t say
whether he had secured the elusive 51st vote to pass the CRA resolution
in the upper chamber on a simple majority. Senate Democrats and
independents, along with Republican Susan Collins of Maine, have thrown
their backing behind the measure.

There’s still time to call your senators and get that 51st vote!

history fucked me up

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built

I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar

Mongols were fighting Samurai in Japan and Knights in Europe at the same time. 

Star Wars a New Hope came out the same year as the last execution in France by Guillotine. 

Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allen Poe were friends in their early 20′s. 

When the Great Pyramids were being built there were areas that still had Woolly Mammoths roaming. 

Harvard University didn’t teach calculus in its first few years after being established because calculus wasn’t invented yet.

The “ToBecky” before the ToBecky

@hibiscusangel15​ and I have been discussing some headcannons for Theodore McCallsiter the Second and Claire’s past relationship.

I feel like Theodore McCallister the Second has the suave, calm, and pompous laid back flirty attitude while Claire has a fiery temper but she directs her temper for justice.

People assume Tobey gets his temper from his father, but I think he gets it from his mother. Tobey just uses his temper for his robot rampages instead for justice.

Claire works at a bakery shop to pay for college tuition and she knows who
Theodore McCallister the Second (who is a well known supervillain) is already and she refuses to serve him cake. Theodore the Second is kind of the
spoiled rich kid who almost never takes no for an answer so he’d be like
shocked at her refusal.

Theodore finally works out of her that
Claire wants to be a lawyer and goes to some prestigious lawyer school (like their
version of Harvard) on scholarship.

Theodore kind of understands that she has a strong
sense of justice but he also wants cake like ??? He’s willing to pay why won’t she
give him cake lol.

As time goes on and
they are get to know each other more, Theodore would tell Claire to calm down and take it easy, but like she’s running on 100000% all the time so she can’t stop, won’t stop and he kind of admires that because he doesn’t really have that kind of drive toward anything but wreaking havoc every now and then with his giant robots.

But Claire also (secretly) wishes she could chill out sometimes, but doesn’t really know how because she’s been grinding her whole life to get to where she is they like they balance each other’s energy out that way. Claire becomes more chill, and he finds more motivation through her.
