The coal in this sleigh looks like nicoise olives.

This is a man who believes in himself and I think that’s beautiful.

Excited to announce my upcoming appearance on CBS/the FP. (I'll be taking the "no" position.)

I will go to washington, dc and peel these letters out of the marble with my own two hands when the time comes.

Town Bloody Hall for tradwives

I have already sent this to three fellow Cassandras and now we’re all sharing our little stories of being dismissed. newrepublic.com/article/2042...

You cannot hurl racial slurs at people and expect to keep your job. It is not an act of "working class solidarity" to protect odious behavior by a working class person. Solidarity is collective effort for the well being of all people. No serious labor person would think otherwise.

Imagine a babyfood company partnering with a sewer to create new content

The thing that really scares me about the Disney/Sora news is that there’s yet another huge player who has something to lose if OpenAI fails, so they’re gonna do everything they can to prop it up

I understand that it's hack at this point to refer to other past Time People of the Year who were a stain on humanity, so I won't do it.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

There’s this idea that I’ve been pondering for a bit that’s probably yet another Everyone Will Yell At Me thing, but… I don’t think that pointing out that AI is full of inaccuracies is an effective tactic at getting people not to use it. It’s based on cultural context that not everyone shares…

It is ~interesting~ that this Hill piece (on the Teamsters starting a Substack) mentions precisely one cosponsor of the Faster Labor Contracts Act (Hawley), and then characterizes him in this extremely flattering way thehill.com/homenews/med...

the Waffle House Paradox is this. often i, in new york, yearn to eat at Waffle House, whose territory does not extend this far north. but relenting to my desire for a local Waffle House would degrade the beauty of the place, which is partly in its highly localized inaccessibility

Happy unsubscribe day to those who celebrate (me).

Can I say something

Dennis Hastert Just Going To Assume He Welcome Back In GOP

This is so bad, man.

Come by!

Yesterday I did my second ever powerlifting competition and hit PR’s on all three lifts so I will be starting all my calls with the leading question “how was your weekend” in hopes they’re like “[info] how was yours.” LET ME BRAG.

I think we've lost the war on the meaning of "emotional labor" and now it just means you're allowed to think of treating other people decently as work

This is so good.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures My latest for @sentientmedia.org

Just once I’d like a politician to say “this is going to be a standard campaign, give me money so I have a better chance of winning it”

Oh wow. Oh. Ok. I thought that was a joke but no it’s…it’s not a joke. It’s actual data from DoorDash.

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

I was angrily admonished by a Boomer when I worked at a video store in the summer of 2000 because I had never heard of The Rutles, a Beatles mockumentary. He said I needed to learn my history. Vowed then and there to never be that kind of old person. Leave this kid alone!

HER MOTHER WAS A ROCKETTE

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Not sure what this guy was so busy doing all summer than he couldn’t listen to the entire Jokerman podcast series on Billy Joel followed by a five hour HBO documentary like I did. Concerning.

RAINBOW ALERT

There is an urge among some in labor adjacent spaces to find common cause with these people on labor reform. The endpoint is always the same - you don’t get a good deal for labor, you get a pro-white labor movement. You absolutely cannot play footsie with this stuff. It never ends well.

I hadn't seen anyone explain exactly why Trump withholding SNAP funds is illegal until @brycecovert.bsky.social did it for us. Short version: benefits must go to all eligible applicants, & the reserve fund must be used when appropriations expire to keep the program operating.

"it doesn't mean anything bad, i just think it's unfair for people to judge me based on my face tattoo of a klingon bird of prey" and yet they will. too bad! time to go back to singing "the downeaster alexa" to yourself while pulling apps out of the seabed for mom's bistro. i don't make the rules!

No one does it better than @tressiemcphd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

This looks like mid-century erotica. "Blue Collar Boom!" C'mon man.

This story is so unbelievably distressing. They’re subjecting these kids to Amazon warehouse working conditions.

A friend gave me a cookbook and I had an unsettled feeling thumbing through it. Something with the photos felt off. And then I came to this tagine recipe featuring GINGERBREAD. This thing has got to be AI right?

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

Yeah but see, he's white, male, no college degree, which makes him working class. Unlike all the women who are waitresses, admins, mechanics, medical assistants, etc. Especially the nonwhite women. Definitely not working class.

As someone who watched a lot of Lifetime the summer after 7th grade, I can almost guarantee he is referring to the tv miniseries A Woman Named Jackie.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

They’re gonna Toys R Us the US Military.
