As Ta Nahesi Coates said last week, “Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Your regular reminder that no matter how seemingly progressive your favorite business is, when it comes to worker power, the owners would often rather pull the plug than own a union shop. That's how deep seated anti-union bias is among the business class.

This is absolutely the case. I’ve seen a huge uptick in Buckman/Belmont. Fewer tents or “prepared” shelters but the very improvised beds of people who have had their previous shelter possessions taken or destroyed. You can’t end homelessness without homes.

This Liverpool team is gonna start really clicking soon, and then we’ll be unstoppable. Gonna keep posting through it. #LFC

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

AOC went from popular, vocal but naive & ineffective freshman to savvy political operator in six years. MTG might just be following the same learning curve but for cuckoo Nazis.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

Your reminder that three of the last four Democratic presidents were nowhere on the pudintosphere's radar until the primaries actually began. These people suck at predicting things.

This may interest some of you: The first space opera by a Black Author, John P. Moore's THE MARTIAN TRILOGY, is now available, thanks to the work of Dr. Lisa P. Yaszek and others. Originally published in THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION in 1930. www.amazon.com/Martian-Tril...

if i were running for office i would absolutely call my volunteers “the wide awakes,” i would hand out wide awake pins and stickers and hats for people to wear and campaign events would have wide awake banners

NEVER. CROSS. A. PICKET. LINE.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

Make it pay per view and there's your free bus service paid for a couple of years.

This is what real leadership looks like.

That’s a good no call on the handball. Glad to see some semblance of sanity. #LIVRMA

My next submission to @tacobellquarterly.org is going to be an autobiographical account of the hellish anti-human experience of actually going inside a Taco Bell to get food. Jesus wept.

I do hear the arguments that it's the built environment that matters. But I also think the enormous regression in norms around safe driving and elimination of any penalties for driving unsafely have played a role. So I think there's real room for shame too

Anyone who persists in acting like our current socio-political-economic system is going to survive contact with any 1 of the climate tipping points is deluded. Gates and his ilk may believe their wealth will protect them (or their heirs) but a cursory look at history offers some counter arguments.

Mmm, no. You see, your billionaire is the main course, the piece de resistance of your eat-the-rich dining experience. Pundits are served as insalata; perhaps marinated, broiled with a wild cherry and balsamic glaze and served shaved over radicchio and tomato.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year

"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges. TAX BILLIONAIRES RUN THEM DOWN LOOT THEM IT WORKS

Liverpool lacking confidence. We didn’t have much in the weather but caught a break and found sun for a dispirited #halftimewalk with @leo-bernadoodle.bsky.social

"A decade ago I was fucked up stupid. But I've lived and grown and changed and I'm a different person. I don't know why I haven't had it removed until now. I guess I thought it reminded me of that growth journey. I realize now that this was not a good decision." HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT, GRAHAM?

I'm also disappointed in what I'm hearing about Platner. But Ned makes a very good point below. Chill! Perhaps he sincerely had a weird military youth and can explain and recover. Or he's unstable a la Fetterman. This is why we have political campaigns!

This is the story that keeps on giving and I haven’t even read an actual article about it yet

Man, I'm still waiting for payment on the invoice I submitted for No Kings in June! This is the worst contractor I've ever worked for! How are they supposed to be running the world from the shadows if they can't pay Net 90?!

100% the kind of low-stakes, bitchy drama that I wish we could all spend much of our online time getting wrapped up in and on each other about instead of [waves arms]. Anyway, thanks @catacalypto.bsky.social for a literal Monday palate cleanser.

I GOT A CRAB I GOT A CRAB I GOT A CRAB I GOT A CRAB I GOT A CRAB I GOT A CRAB

[Hisses in pain] Very funny.

I can’t believe I slept through the It’s-Always-DNS-pocalyse.

One of the big lessons here for me, and it's not an easy one as someone who is as extremely online as I am, is that we have to overcome the atomizing forces that have home court advantage online and seek our power in the real-life, in-person experiences that bind us together in ancient ways.

Arne’s deliberate build up strategy allows teams to get into a low 4-4 block against us & we’re struggling to break through those. If he would free the lads up to play more directly & on the break, I think we’d have success and build up our ragged confidence. #LFC

Show me it working in Glasgow or GTFO.

Wore the special glasses this morning. Downtown Portland, 5th & Washington.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Muslim clerics have deemed AI-generated imagery of people ‘haram’ or forbidden. And they told you shariah law would be your undoing.

TIL some local history of this iconic poster as well as more about the deep historical roots of “the Portland vibe” or whatever you call it. Great 🧵 from a multi-gen Portland’s & historian. Makes me love my adopted home town even more.

this is basically portland's version of a haka
