My first time back on Bluesky in a long time, it’s so bizarre to see this alternative world. Miss a lot of your faces back on the other app.

Ed this has 300,000 likes, I'm afraid. Anyone who graduates college after 2021 should be looked at skeptically

US grocery workers hit by rising prices: β€˜We’re at the bottom of the food chain’ Food store employees grapple with fewer hours and inflation – and sound alarm at merger of two largest chains

Of all the coverage about grocery prices, very little to none include the voices of the workers at these stores

I spoke with grocery store workers about 'sticker shock' at the grocery store and their wages not keeping up with it

I wonder: will people who entered the workforce pre-ChatGPT be considered more valuable than those who entered shortly after its introduction? Like would graduating after 2022 be a red flag?

in other "look at where this guy comes from" news, Elon Musk's father just did a lengthy podcast episode that opens with the host saying "I bet the last time you had this many black people in your house someone was trying to rob you"

Elon Musk’s X/Twitter is claiming ownership of all accounts on its platform in the Infowars bankruptcy case, where The Onion has purchased all assets

This reminds you that you do not own your social media accounts

I wrote an article about trying NA beer back in 2020. They've only continued to rise in popularity since then, and it's totally fine to drink NA alongside real beers if you just want to moderate www.inverse.com/input/guides...

It's ok to feel sad about it. It is genuinely sad. Twitter is where I met my wife, the love of my life and the mother of my children. Now that Twitter is dying, I have no way to contact these three.
