One of the problems with technology today is if you're a millenial/xennial you remember when tech worked.

Everyone saying "predatory labor practices are the norm" Babe. NYC has a grocery union. As far as I know Target doesn't hand out food stamp applications with your hiring paperwork. You really need to understand how fucked up walmart is.

I saw a tiktok wanting to know why NYC doesn't have a Wal-Mart and wishing NYC had a Wal-Mart and it's like babe, NYC FOUGHT to keep Wal-Mart out because it would have absolutely destroyed the labor market. Do kids these days not know Wal-Mart has predatory labor practices?

When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.

One thing I wish we acknowledged more is that the anti-woke coalitions have won—both in the Democratic Party and in much of the country more broadly—and yet they’re still complaining.

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

Punching through walls = abusive behavior. Driving crazy when you’re arguing = abusive behavior. Threatening self-harm when you aren’t compliant = abusive behavior. Sharing embarrassing intimate information without consent = abusive behavior.

Hello it is me your Quiet Poster friend. I have to promote something so bear with me. I start each day off WRONG: I reach for my phone and look at the news. But I just know there’s good news out there. My new album and special, INCURABLE OPTIMIST, comes out April 30 on YouTube & audio streamers!

Credit where credit is due. Congress is “doing something.”

Jared Kushner has continually failed to strike a deal with the Iranians. Is it time for his father to write a big check?

Nothing to see here just your average Red Cross doctor healing their pedophile best friend.

Grannies shouldn’t be Door Dashing to pay for their husband’s cancer meds. They should be eating cheesecake with their roommates in Miami.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

This article is so wild. The researchers thought they would show high levels of "benevolent sexism" and were surprised that they actually just hate women. Who could've possibly guessed?

My take is that people don't have money anymore. Jobs that used to make decent money no longer do so. Healthcare and rent are unaffordable. Everything costs way too much.

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

Happy anniversary to all who celebrate (the greatest celebrity-on-celebrity social media takedown of all time)

Lowkey I think a lot of "media literacy" issues are less a matter of people getting that much worse at interpreting tv shows as opposed to the fact that we are exposed to random opinions of random doofuses now more than ever.

Consequences for Eric Swalwell will be severe: a featured showcase in the Netflix is a Joke festival.

You know that feeling when you’re at the gate but they won’t let you off the plane

This is a good and relevant take - but the attempt to remove the dash from Queens addresses is BAD and prioritizes machine navigation over human ones.

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution

It would not hurt if you called your GOP MoCs to tell them they are legally complicit with the war crimes Trump is committing. Might not prevent armageddon, but couldn't hurt. (202) 224-3121

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

If Starbucks wants Seattle to love them, Starbucks can love us first. A big way to show that love is to stop standing in the way of unions. *Microsoft* can be neutral when employees want to unionize, so can Starbucks (instead of threatening us with Tennessee).

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

IT'S TIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!! Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you can stay home, AWESOME. If you can't, please consider NOT BUYING anything that day. The POINT is the pressure of OUR POWER. #MAYDay #May1st #GeneralStrike #NOBusinessAsUSUAL www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

Considering who that Yale professor is, I think it’s more likely she advised him on the same aggrieved model minority myth that had built her own patronage.

With Bondi out, he's gonna have to start firing men soon. Tulsi? You in danger, girl.

top 2pm stories right now: CNN: "TRUMP FIRES BONDI AS ATTORNEY GENERAL" MS NOW: "TRUMP FIRES PAM BONDI" FOX NEWS: "TIGER WOODS BODYCAM VIDEO RELEASED"

And I have never once heard a single one of the editors or journalists involved even *reflect* on it, much less grapple with it or apologize for it. They feel zero remorse & would do the same thing again -- in fact, *will* do the same thing again, to whoever the Dem candidate is in 2028.

So much money for anti-union attorneys, but apparently none for actually paying workers a fair wage. www.huffpost.com/entry/amazon...

On April 7, I am hosting *77* again, at Fiona's Bar on Flatbush Avenue. Among my guests will be @raxkingisdead.bsky.social and @conradshiner.bsky.social. It's a great bar. Show is good fun. Join us. It's free (but buy a drink.)

The people who keep NYC running shouldn't have to choose between work they believe in & the city they call home.

So many women are doing this in private Facebook groups founded specifically for women's networking — and specifically to combat gender imbalance in their industries — that administrators have had to explicitly ban it. www.patreon.com/posts/why-ar...

This is how you know he’s not helping with any of his kids’ homework

Two cops walking away bopping to the music in this Season 1 episode of “Law & Order” … … the current incarnation of “Law & Order” would never because, as written, the characters are too self-serious, too self-important and too grim to allow for moments like this

It’s not strange. Grown Americans in positions of power & authority called the police on to campuses, and threatened the future work and livelihood of 20 year olds because they dared to stand against the mass bombing of women and children. And they will never forget it.

For months, families lived in fear, children were separated from parents, and two of our neighbors were killed by federal agents. I’m establishing a council to document the impact of Metro Surge and create a public record of the harm Minnesotans endured. We will not forget.

With US media increasingly dominated by ketamine-addicted MAGA billionaires, many Americans are turning to Iranian sources for accurate information about the war in Iran.

The gender friendship gap turns out to be driven almost entirely by white men's uniquely low levels of friendship closeness. And among white men, higher socioeconomic class predicted even lower closeness. The most privileged group has the least close friendships. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
