The shit we have to factcheck, y’all.

ESPN's production and treatment of the NHL is a disaster and should be called out and treated more harshly than it is.

blah fine whatever time for baseball anyway

ESPN I promise you no one gives two craps about Caps Stars when Pens Flyers is in a shoot out

are you having a frozen frenzy

The Onion’s next feature film…

why do they not pitch around Ohtani I do not understand

I feel like a key tipping point was when everything became “content”

The promise of the Internet and social media was that everyone would be a reporter. The reality is that everyone is a mid-century newspaper publisher, aggregating the news and opinion they like and cheerfully discarding anything adversarial.

It's notable that "an authentic working class party" isn't referring to "how can we encourage more Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans to become political candidates and address the reasons and challenges why they don't run and get elected?"

For Pa.’s soybean farmers, trade wars are only the latest struggle. • Pennsylvania Capital-Star A Chinese boycott of U.S. soybeans is only the latest issue facing farmers. Labor shortages, soaring equipment costs and unpredictable weather have also taken their toll.

Health care in this country is a joke and we just accept it it’s infuriating

I don’t want the pharmacist to be rushed or overworked! I want them to have time to consider each medication carefully! It has to be miserable for them as well!

The difference is just night and day. They don’t hire enough staff and end up with a line at the counter so the techs can serve people in the drive thru line

Not to get all “back in my day” about it, but I worked at a CVS as a teenager, back when it was a regional chain, before it was also a pharmacy benefit manager and when it still kinda gave a shit about its customers/ patients

Getting any prescription at CVS has just become an abysmal, frustrating experience; even when they send a message that your order is ready you go to the store knowing there’s a 50-50 chance it actually won’t be

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
