As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

Okay, but velvet reindeer with glasses is a /mood/.

Sure, now they're in favor of affirmative action for minorities.

So many graves to piss on, so little time

I made a fake LLM to jingle keys in front of my day job’s leadership

Wait, am I doing this right?

we’re about to find out if loving SimCity makes you a better mayor Mamdani was asked in 2002 by NY Mag what he wanted for Christmas and said SimCity 3000

... "A good start."

"Maybe you have a little lingering trauma from last year's elections?" No. Shut up. That's stupid. We have bigger things to worry about. Also, yes.

Now this is nostalgia mining I can get on board with.

Well, there's a job I'm glad that I don't have.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Feel like, as a society, we might consider moving Halloween to the last Friday in October (observed.) Vibes truly immaculate tonight.

Let's talk about barreleye fishes in family Opisthoproctidae. Take a minute to take in the image below. What look like 'eyes' above the tiny toothless mouth are in fact chemosensory organs equivalent to nostrils. The EYES are the green domes INSIDE THE TRANSPARENT HEAD. And they look *up*...

There were some legs trunkless and stone Whose visage, all shattered, did frown "Look on my works, ye mighty," it said But despair would not enter my head For the far, level sands stretched alone.

Once upon a desert sandy As through winds the trav'ling man he Spied the face of Ozymandy Lying, simply lying there Suddenly there was some writing Pon the plinth that he was sighting That the sand and time were blighting Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

this whole article is BONKERS. men are so far from okay that I think it's fair to say that a significant proportion of them are experiencing what you'd almost have to call a mass psychotic break www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin. Here's the video of it running.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

I hate to be a single issue/litmus test voter, but in this case, yeah, "abolish ice" is the moderate compromise minimum.

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

I guess where I’m landing is less “oh no he’s a Nazi” and more “I just went through this shit with Fetterman and Sinema and a six year term is too long for me to take on faith that your Nazi tattoo was the accident but what you’re saying now is the truth.”
