Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

A spill on a family farm in Oklahoma killed several acres of vegetation and contaminated drinking water. A judge ordered the farmers to pay when they went after the oil company. (Published May 2024)

Just because your folks became conservative in their old age doesn’t mean you have to as well. Dad loved to quote Churchill,”Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.” Fuck him. I’m smarter than dad ever was

Tim Burchett: "It seems kinda crazy, but in the future maybe we oughta bring the patients and the doctors to the table and tell the insurance companies they can go take a flying leap."

What if AI is like the Philip Experiment? Maybe it taps into something, whether that’s the power of suggestion, or something we don’t yet have language to describe. I mean, we already know it’s us, focused through flawed machines, making us crazy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_...

Predator Badlands is the best scifi action survival flick of the year! So awesome

So Hegseth is firing troublesome generals. Why? Don't forget this great movie, based on a fine novel, about a plot in the military to take over the USA. A military coup...In our case the Commander in Chief would be part of it. If you've never seen the movie, just see it as a really good film.

Proud to admit that i love pop music. Only really discovered it in my 40s, have been making up for lost time. Love all the Sabrina Carpenter Halloween concert videos

The Union of Concerned Scientists invites you to a virtual science advocacy training on how the scientific community can push back against the growing authoritarian threat and stand up for our democracy. Thursday, November 20, 3:00–4:00 p.m. ET.

Together is emotionally complex. Really good!

Ampullaceous [am-pyew-LEY-shus] (adj.) - Shaped like a flask or bladder. - Resembling an ampulla. Use: “Three days after her mysterious disappearance, the persnickety grimalkin was found languidly grooming herself atop the ampullaceous urn that contained what was left of Great-Aunt Hilda.”

I really enjoyed Megan 2.0. It’s a tech-thriller that clowns on horror while the first one was a horror flick that clowned on tech. And I truly dig movies that don’t adhere to one genre

Watching Christine in preparation for my Metro: Otherscape one-shot on Thursday. I think it’s gonna be somethin special

On Saturday the 15th I'll be at @powells.bsky.social in Portland OR from about 7:30 until I run out of things to scribble in. This is another super-informal one (basically a stock signing with a few extra copies) so please preorder and please stop by. It's my first time ever in Portland!

OH, HEY WEST COAST FOLKS, SPEAKING OF THE BOOK I should probably mention that release week (and a bit beyond) I'm going to be driving up and down the coast and stopping at numerous bookstores along the way. Please allow me a few moments of your time to tell you where I'm going to be...

What are guys behind Scavenger’s Reign up to these days?

And why not revisit the original 2016 short film that allowed Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner to realize their dream and delight us?

Rewatching Scavengers Reign again. Such a cool show

Had a dream where i duelled Kanye w vorpal swords. He kept complaining to his second that i was cheating. What a lil bitch

I think maybe the billionaires are into fascism, AI, and robots because they plan on wiping out the poor folks and replacing us with automated systems utterly subservient to them. Sure, they start with certain groups, but it’s a pretty thin sliver of folks that check all the boxes for these pricks.

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later). With a heavy sigh, I repeat: bring back professionalism. For the love of god. You're running comms for the government of the USA. Act like it.

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

If Roco’s Basilisk is gonna get anyone, it’s gonna be the shithead billionaires who trotted out a clownshoe of a Large Language Model and dared call it AI.

Do not obey in advance: NoKings.org.

Hurray! Good job everybody

Learn to dance. Learn to cook. Listen to all kinds of music. Fucking. Read! Doesn’t matter what. Books are nice, comics or journalism is fine. Anything. Just be kind. That’s how you become worthy of love, dudes. It’s not fuckng hard.

Cory Doctorow explains why the very website you’re on right this moment is the way it is. slate.trib.al/EZ2RzyV

POV: You’re at the Emergency World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, OR.

Last night’s game reminded me of this storyline from New Mutants. My first exposure to death and grief in comics. Cypher is killed and I was haunted by the image of Rahne Sinclair weeping.

Live view of war-ravaged Portland:

#Peacemaker Damned if James Gunn doesn’t always give me the ending I didn’t know I wanted. Damn!

Chain-link cages. Flooded tents. Clouds of mosquitoes. Malfunctioning AC. Scarce food. Zero recreational time: Inside the hell of Alligator Alcatraz.

I’m kinda excited about the format change for the next Hell House

Am I the only one who enjoys movies with an inconsistent tone? Just watched Mute Witness and I really liked it. #LastDriveIn

After you’ve just finished a book uou enjoyed, do you ever just sit quietly and stare at the cover? Maybe flip it open and reread a section? Feel the cover’s texture, appreciate the art, kinda like caressing and admiring a lover after The Act. It’s nice.
