Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

"It's like all things political, no one remembers why" is maybe the most straight white male thing I've ever read

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

they put a dead guy on their list of subversive enemies of the state a man who had no noted political opinions while alive but whose death sparked an uprising they are criminalizing him for people being angry for him being murdered this whole admin is full of absolute nutjobs in ugly suits

Has anyone asked Gavin Newsom how his son is handling the Andrew Tate news?

EVs won't fix the problem. AVs won't fix the problem. The problems caused by cars won't be solved by different cars.

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from #$GEO #$CXW www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

Somehow I missed this incredible Weird Al Yankovic song that's entirely in palindromes when it came out, so in case that's also you, please enjoy it now

This miserable account has fewer than 140 followers, and still manages every single post to get ratioed, often viciously so. That's dedication to the kink.

Bugs the shit out of me that when a company or production hires a person with an abusive past, it’s always framed as “don’t you believe in second chances😢😢😢” and never, NEVER, “is it worth it to put every woman at this company at risk?”

Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.

Dang they really got a category for everything

Some football team, FC Barcelona or maybe the Spanish national team, has to put Lamine Yamal in a photoshoot with another baby, see if lightning can strike twice.

Matthew Yglesias believes in nothing. He's a soulless husk of a human being who puts his finger in the air to determine what position he'll take on any given issue. It's precisely that kind of valueless political posturing that voters often reject.

Just as with immigration, moving right on this issue only legitimizes the conservative position, shifting the Overton window without attracting any new voters. The numbers of swing voters that would switch their vote to a Dem only if they oppose trans people in sports is basically nonexistent.

Trans issues are high saliency for the progressive base and significant portions won't donate or support candidates that abandon trans people. Candidates that do so lose more of their base voters than they gain from some hypothetical swing voter who voted for Trump.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

RFK jr should resign

It's the Sandy Peggy NHS Nurse case scaled up to destroy a human rights organization for having the audacity to criticize gender critical organizations. The point is to send a message that gender critical orgs are untouchable and you cannot openly criticize them without being destroyed by lawfare.

It's incredibly clear that Rowling is going to lead with this org because it's a rape shelter. It'll be a media circus. The UK press will attack Amnesty as defaming a rape crisis center. Nevermind that Rowling and her ilk incited threats to Edinburgh Rape Crisis center b/c a trans woman worked there

A lot of people thought that "video evidence" would show the world what cops are like. Well, we are awash in video. We know what cops are like. And.

Hey man maybe handing dod to a guy whose main skill set is “masculinity influencer for dumb guys having a midlife crisis” was a bad idea bsky.app/profile/mjga...

Imagine a country being so bigoted that nobody can safely eat lettuce

YOU PASS LAWS TO FORCE KIDS OFF THE INTERNET AND THEN CREATE TASK FORCES TO PUNISH THEM FOR GOING OUTSIDE, WHERE THE FUCK ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO EXIST???

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

a decade ago there was an entire movement dedicated to confronting the militarization of state power against its citizens Not only did you not listen... our political actors increased police budgets across the entire country Now military forces are killing White moms and nurses

Serial killers.

JK Rowling threatening **Amnesty International** should be your red line on buying anything she makes money from.

Yes, Trump made them worse. But refusing to recognize the toxicity of the pre-Trump Republican Party that made it so easy for Trump to take over will undermine efforts make REAL change when Trump is gone. Case in point: Lindsey Graham. This was in 2010!! www.politico.com/story/2010/0...

Wrote about the Roberts Court’s highly selective aversion to identifying racism, echoing the logic of the infamous Korematsu decision, which the Roberts Court has both condemned and imitated. Call it Neo-Korematsu doctrine. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

If there is no reasoning, the orders are not law; they are just whim.

i maintain that as stupid as it sounds considering the 'not budging even for literal attempts on their lives', blocking/shutting down airports especially around when congress is about to go into recess would probably have way more impact. shit moves FAST in congress when vacation hours are at risk

a thing i've been on a lot over the years is many of the old thoughts and strategies on what could move, pressure, change elected officials are kind of out the window because they do not even respond to attempts on their lives with energy more intense than "damn, that was weird"

It really is that simple: there's no reason for an agency tasked with "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" to function as a gestapo that invades neighborhoods and shoots people. Why do they have military weapons and use military tactics? They're supposed to be paperwork clerks.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

[everybody, all at once] we fucking told you

Watching Israeli genocide apologists latch on to the attack on Amnesty International really shows how these struggles are intertwined.

It's ugly and rotten-hearted to speak ill of the dead if they were a powerful politician who pushed constantly for war and misery. It's perfectly fine to speak ill of the dead if they were some nobody immigrant who was near a cop.

”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

The discord was lit today

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

I just saw someone make a post in reference to the dead man from SC which included that 2015 was a "different America." Folks Freddie Gray was murdered in April 2015 and millions of people were in the streets for weeks and months. A lot of horrible things were happening in the U.S. in 2015.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

“What I loved about Senator Lindsey Graham is that we belonged to the same social class”

Masked government paramilitaries are killing people on the streets in cold blood. No one is held accountable and a third of Americans are fine with it. Hard to believe, but here we are.
