This is an amazing fact

Counterpoint: Bostonians famously love that dirty water.

A big indicator of this fascist moment, for me, was exposing Hanania’s past as pseudonymous white supremacist blogger, him issuing a non-apology apology then writing gutter racist shit under real name, & nevertheless enjoying mainstream success reminder of who he is www.huffpost.com/entry/richar...

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

i am not crossing a picket line not even for coffee brewed with 15 year old no smell coffee beans that are fuzzy in places

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Capital as capital simply pursues profit in the cycle of endless accumulation. But *capitalists* need to balance the pursuit of profit with preserving the stability of the social system within which capital exists, on the one hand, and their own privileged position within that system, on the other.

I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

No kicking Schumer and Durbin out of leadership, no deal.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If you've got a Republican representing you, call them and tell them you blame them, and their party, for the shutdown.

I will point out both my 80 something conservative Roman Catholic parents explicitly said "Because she fights Trump" when I asked about their support for her.

umm this sucks

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

Look, it's impossible to get just how stupid this is into a single headline, but I tried, okay?

YouTube has a lot of great karaoke tracks, including a bunch of really obscure songs you won’t find in most places. This is the best one m.youtube.com/watch?v=LPJI...

Less well-known than the Oxford comma is the Scott cæsura, a pause so short that the art community was roiled over whether it’s “rock and roll porn”, or it’s “rock and roll unt also porn unt also a motorbike”. In this essay I will

Reminder to vote! Local elections affect schools, infrastructure, housing and whether your town is a garbage place or not. Please be nice to your poll workers, it's a long day for them. Tip your pole workers because sex work is work. But don't tip your poll worker cuz they can't take money. #vote

Yes, Mamdani would make a good mayor. But have you considered that if he makes NYC better, your friends might leave your city for New York? Paid for by Bostonians against New York

Reading this WSJ piece on David Ellison archive.is/Zb2ht and saw "He co-starred with James Franco in “Flyboys,” a 2006 movie[...] After a second movie he was planning to act in fell apart, he pivoted to producing full-time." As if "Hole in One" (2009) letterboxd.com/film/hole-in... never happened.

waiting until there's a recall of oreos to pitch the headline "panic at nabisco"

Does your breakie have enough axes in it? It does now.

generally speaking, people should be eating way more candy than they do. next time you find yourself reaching for fresh produce at the grocery store, consider a bag of candy instead

YUB NUB MEANS FREEDOM

If David Ellison made a big AI deal you can bet he’d be bragging about it to every person he could find

It is true: I am a member of the Mystery Hunt team “Illegal, Immoral and Fattening, Attorneys At Law”. This fictional law firm defends things society or the government disapprove of, like chocolate cake, fan fiction, or feeding hungry people in Tampa. In my defense, we’ve only come in 5th place.
