This Day in Labor History: February 13, 1837. The Equal Rights Party, better known as the Loco Focos although that was a pejorative from the city’s Whigs, held a rally in City Hall Park in New York City to protest the high cost of living. That led to the "Flour Riot" over food costs. Let's chat!

San Francisco side of Golden Gate Bridge after sunset. To the far left you can see the "bridge-within-a-bridge," that was built so that Fort Point could be preserved. From Emeryville, California.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Thing to remember is those types of people find the idea of teaming up with Klansmen that much more appealing than being in coalition with Black people.

A familiar move with a new twist: Trump tries to cut CDC funds he just signed into law A federal judge in Illinois quickly issued a restraining order after the Trump administration slashed more than $600 million in CDC grants to four blue states.

Hello Kitty designer bows out after 40 years in charge Yuko Yamaguchi has been responsible since 1980 for the design of Kitty, overseeing her rise to the epitome of Japan's kawaii soft power.

The flamboyant designer behind Hello Kitty β€” the cute Japanese character that became a global mega brand β€” is stepping down after more than four decades in charge of her look.

The number of people who have tried to get me to talk about 3D printed guns on here lately is super weird. Idk if you're feds or clueless or clueless feds, but even if I was stupid enough to engage? I've never touched a gun and never will. Your self-implicating princess is in another castle.

The year is 2034. 98% of the population of the planet is employed as a life coach. All the life coaches have life coaches. Life coaches decide to redouble their efforts, going in hard to all the last remaining outposts where people exist simply as people rather than life coaches or people striving to live their best life via life coaches. β€œCan I be your companion on your journey to yourself and give you the life advice that will make you a proper person?” ask the life coaches. β€œCan you get out of my kitchen, please?” say the people. β€œI’ve already had six of you in here this morning, trying to tell me how I can be the ultimate version of me and unlock my true potential. I never asked for this. I just want to be able to live my most average, flawed life in peace and finish cleaning the oven.”

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.
