Atlantic desperately wants to make Josh Shapiro fetch.

Love her.

This is why labor laws are so important — and exactly why big corporations spend so much money lobbying against them. It's also why unions are vital — and why we need to support @sbworkersunited.org's fight against corporate greed. Solidarity.

If only.

Ok, with this year being what it has, we all deserved and needed this today. Do yourself a favor and watch it. You deserve it.

Very cool.

I think we lost it in editing but I talked about that very thing. Real rural life is virtually invisible — no art for dollar stores and meth clinics. And its racial diversity is erased. Actual rural people, especially poor ones, cannot access its aesthetic power

Sick of seeing Hegseth’s face everywhere.

Nice essay. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Lane Kiffin exemplifies something.

Always good to remember.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Feeling ok that I’ve never been a Nick Cave fan.

Reading @davidbatherwoods.bsky.social’s biography, I knew my patients would identify with it. Arthur addressed fame, recognition, honor, and meaning; additionally, he indirectly addressed indecision by how he lived and the choices he made around his vocation. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/perf...

Happy Thanksgiving. You don’t have to believe in the premise of the holiday (I sure as hell don’t), but: you can believe in good friends, the family we choose, and sharing food, happiness, maybe good movies. That’s what Thanksgiving is to me, and the specifics don’t matter. Find joy in each other.

Solid Thanksgiving haul.

I’m waiting for dinner to start, buying books online.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Always so much to be grateful for.
