Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.bsky.social and don't buy Starbucks until the strike is over. 🪶 You know who agrees with me? This guy. His name is Dennis. He happy with peanuts, but the rank and file at Starbucks deserve a living wage.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

hey gang

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

This is my favorite fact I've learned this week. I know the week isn't over yet but I really don't think there will be a contender. #SalisburyCathedralisBuiltOnALake

i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

I believe the mods when they say they haven't finished the technical work necessary to automatically inform users of what posts they're being suspended for. I also believe that's not an acceptable flaw for this website in late 2025.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

The thing is, these folks don't actually make things, they are distributors at best. They are replaceable.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

One of the most wonderful things about this Joyce Carol Oates takedown of Musk is how simple and gentle it is, and how completely accurate of course.

Day 314: Having just learned what a musk ox looks like yesterday, I've made some executive decisions on animal classification

These Twilight Zone death traps never stopped being fun! Oof, we haven’t got to the chocolate-hazelnut scene yet, eeeesh…

Frankenstein is a beautiful work of incredible romantic sincerity which explains a lot of the indifferent reviews I saw. Darlings, lit crit is at an all time low, now is the perfect time for earnest fairy tales

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Oh my god. If I wasn’t already boycotting, i would be discouraged from ever shopping there. i am happy that staff are around if I have a question, but I already get a little stressed if they pause in a task or a conversation to check in on me. This just feels abusive to me.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
