Walmart, Amazon and McDonald’s have some of the highest number of full time employees that needs SNAP Another crazy statistic is 25% of SNAP is spent at Walmart, which is roughly $2 billion per month So Walmart is eating out of both sides of the plate and the Walton family is worth $240billion+/-

this is literally never not accurate

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

This is the longest government shutdown in history. It continues due to the greed of the wealthiest Americans, people who care little about the most vulnerable among us. The social safety net they are actively dismantling has been in place for more than 90 years, since the Great Depression.

I just called using 5calls.org/issue/federa... and left messages for @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.senate.gov to hold the line and not cave on the ACA extension.

Place near us has a great bbq bánh mì bowl that I daydream about. 😄 It's an Asian place, mostly Japanese, rice bowls, limited sushi, etc. But it's the bánh mì bowl I'm getting lately. Sunomono, Avocado, Chopped Greens, Jalapeno, Sous Vide Egg (Soft Poached), Black Lava Salt & Spicy Aioli. 😋

Welp. 😐 #LFC #MCILIV Soooo…what's everyone else got going on for the rest of the day? 😒

Helps too that with the accent it sounds like the announcer is saying "Banana Silva" 😂 🍌 #LFC #MCILIV

This is working great, thanks for the idea Lyndon!! 🙌🏻 #LFC #MCILIV

The weather, fucking hell. 😄 Let's use that chaos to our advantage, eh? #LFC #MCILIV

Ooo, that’s a good shout, thanks! I wonder how it lines up with the lag. 🤔😄

Most of us would've taken a point walking out of the Etihad today, I still would and we still can. Just need to make some adjustments at the half & get back in it. #LFC #MCILIV

What the fuck. I'm positive we had a goal from another team allowed earlier this season against us with a similar interference from their player. Fuck off. We can do this. #LFC #MCILIV

Looks like GM went to go for it, thought it would be out, then watched it go into the corner. 😕 Wonder if we see a Konate sub at the half? 🤔 #LFC #MCILIV

Feeling like City are seeing some opportunities here…to dive whenever they're touched so they'll get a foul from their refs. 😐 #LFC #MCILIV

Nice little run there, boys! Let's get a finish, shall we? #LFC #MCILIV

Watching with hardly any volume, commentators doing my head in already. #LFC #MCILIV

Fuck yeah GM! 🚫 #LFC #MCILIV

Come on. Gimme a break. #LFC #MCILIV

Calm as you like from Virg there. 😅 #LFC #MCILIV

Late photo, granddaughter called just as the match started. COME ON YOU REDS!! Into these! #LFC #MCILIV

i will repeat: this is psychological torture for SNAP recipients.

Sometimes we make stupid shit that cracks us up for no reason. 😂

Ended up with a headache most of the day, took a nap, made dinner, watched an episode of Reluctant Traveler and now getting yea & going to bed. Bust of a Saturday. 😕

Something to perk up your Saturday: 15 minutes of Federico Chiesa being charming as hell. 😄 #LFC youtu.be/tYS__4di0ms?...

"October Baileys" a great title for this AFQ. "Ghost Mayonnaise" was hopefully a close second choice. 😂 Really fun episode to listen to. ☺️ @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/afq-oc...

Went to bed at 11, woke up at 6, on my phone for a couple hours, fell back asleep at 8, up now at 10. Hellooooooo, Saturday! 😄

How’s the hair guy doing after that? 😂

074 & 075 - Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue Love the song Jungle in addition to the other hits, like Mr. Blue Sky. I wrote about this album on my blog a long time ago! 😂 yourolderbrothersmusicblog.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/w...

Very good. And if you're not familiar with Girl Talk's All Day from 2010, get familiar: illegalart.net/allday/

Fancy any of these, @knoxharrington.bsky.social ? 😄 There’s been some overcoat chat lately. I’d probably go for Coat 2 out of these options/styles/colours, but I also gravitate toward Coat 1.

Tidal has been an excellent alternative so far. These. Choices. Matter.

FUCK YES NEW HATCHIE. Listen to this & then listen to the rest of @hihatchie.bsky.social's music. And then listen to this again. Repeat as necessary. tidal.com/album/452573...

073. Richard Edwards - Sling Shot To Heaven Richard re-recorded some songs he had written before Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset & put them here. This is grey semi-translucent #vinyl.

Let's be crystal clear that the Trump administration is to blame for this. If you get stuck somewhere, don't yell at the airline folks, call your congressperson instead.

Reminder: It benefits nobody in a way to list sex assigned at birth on passports, there is no requirement to include it, this is just about punishing trans etc. Americans.

Would love to see a program where they advertise for a DHS/ICE type job and when dudes apply in order to inflict pain upon random people, they're instead paired with a therapist and can work through their issues that way.

10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop. the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

Still awake like an absolute idiot. 😄😴😴😴😴😴😴

Kyle's just calling balls & strikes as always (possibly the best in the news biz right now, not even kidding), but it feels really good to live in Colorado right now. Hopefully we can keep this energy for a while. Get Boebert out. Get a better gov in. Colorado blue like the skies.

072. Richard Edwards - Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw I subscribed to Richard's Patreon for a couple years. He's one of the most generous musicians I've encountered, putting his music on sale a lot, releasing limited editions & songs to the Patreon subscribers. It means a lot to have him see us.

Thank you, Colorado! 🙌🏻

Haymarket Books are amazing, 80% off is such a bargain, please go browse

071. Richard Edwards - Sings the Margot & the Nuclear So And So's Songbook in Quarantine (Volume 1) My pick from this one is "Your Sister's House" but there's a lot of good songs here. Very cool splatter #vinyl. I'd link to the music but I can't find it anywhere online. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone else looking for the song that played at the end of Mamdani's speech, it's Dhoom Machale by Sunidhi Chauhan: tidal.com/track/299615...

On the ballot was keeping money already collected for these free meals or returning it, AND this measure to raise taxes. Both are passing, and CRUSHING. The measure to raise taxes is passing right now 60-40. Colorado is turning more blue by the year.

This is how you do social media, folks. 😄 ✊🏻 Fuck yeah.
