All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

“I just want there to be a car that drives itself so I can get places without thinking about it” hello, please meet: train. also see: bus

I'm so glad my friend Carrie continues to use her engineering expertise to make fine products like this. You should get one. Maybe three.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

Paulina Borsook is someone whose name you should know. It really should have been in the headline.

I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

When you think about it, every orchestra is a tribute act.

Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike? Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails. My @kuow.org story: www.kuow.org/stories/clea...

I must not post. Posting is the mind-killer. Posting is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my post. I will permit it to pass over me and through me and not onto the keyboard. And when it has gone past I will turn my phone off. Where the post has gone there will be nothing.

"The batteries were sold with the following Rad Power Bikes e-bike models and as replacement batteries: RadWagon 4, RadCity HS 4, RadRover High Step 5, RadCity Step Thru 3, RadRover Step Thru 1, RadRunner 2, RadRunner 1, RadRunner Plus, and RadExpand 5"

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit. You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Now I am become Charlie Brown, the destroyer of worlds.

I'm from the United States of kiss my ass, Charlie Brown.

Someone got banned from a science fiction convention.

Welp, after years of planning, pots of dedicated funding, promises that despite other elements getting yanked from the plans that sidewalk repairs were still on the table, the only sidewalk on LWB that got repaved this year was the segment right in front of Bruce's house.

Have we considered the possibility that the "67" meme is caused by Data sending information out of the time loop in an attempt to stop America from crashing into the USS Bozeman?

“a member of the DSA steering committee came up to me, big DSA member, strong DSA member, tears pouring from his eyes down onto his bright yellow zohran tote bag, and he said to me, he said, sir, labor is the source of all value. and i said, its so true. solidarity, comrade”

Art is an act of hope. Writing is an act of rebellion. The world will always need more stories--from real human beings, not bullshit plagiarism machines. Every book is a love story from the author, and every reader is fighting the war against cruelty, ignorance, and hopelessness. We are fighting.

Anyway time to post this again. AI is a tool of fascism.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

Go on …

I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

It’s pretty simple. When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

STUDIO CITY! TONIGHT! COME OUT AND SEE @PETERCLINES.BSKY.SOCIAL PERFORM DEATH DEFYING STUNTS AS HE SIGNS HIS LATEST BOOK, GOD'S JUNK DRAWER! AT THE BOTTOM OF A SHARK-INFESTED TANK WHILE CHAINED TO A HUNDRED POUND WEIGHT AND NO HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING!

Now, with the votes tallied, I can say HOT DAMN YAY NEW MAYOR.

joyce carol oates and menswear guy should tape a special together

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Dear @sdotblog.seattle.gov.web.brid.gy: this is excellent.

If you aren't gonna fight the ever-rising tide of fascism with the very powerful and effective tools you have available as a U. S. Senator, you need to find another job. Or just retire. Don't care which. Just clear your desk into a couple of banker boxes and leave.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

Oh, yeah.
