see that’s poster’s bushido, the way of the hater, right there

I would find it difficult to be a vegetarian, given my hunger that we eat the rich.

This is how my 12 year old reacts when I drop her off at school and say have a great day

The protagonist holds their breath as the spectral blackness of a BT that is very obviously Goofy hyucks nearby

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

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

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived.

All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism. Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

"The young staffers at Teen Vogue took a magazine that had been cute and commercial before 2016, and wrestled it into the flagship publication of feminist Gen Z politics."

Such a nice piece from Sarah Leonard.

A skill I would really like us all to cultivate is saying "I don't think this is a great tactic, but I agree with the cause," and then just moving on with our lives.

Damn near half of my career consists of tracking Republican challenges to the ACA and I’m twenty years in the game

critfailmemes on threads (!) "Okay so to keep the poor from rioting you give them bread and circuses" "Got it. However some of them were sneaking into the circus on their friend's login so we stopped that" "No you... you gotta give them the circuses" "We're ending the free bread program, too much of it was going to the poor"

Solidarity with Sean.

This is what we mean when we say people are going to have to get comfortable with moral actions that are outside the law

i don't think the people in charge appreciate just how furious literally everyone is now-

the right is frothing at the mouth over boogeymen and misdirected grievance, everybody else is tired of working harder and harder for less and less-

now we're supposed to just eat a 300% insurance increase?

NWDA Emergency Meeting Inbox Todd Zarnitz 2:23 PM to me When the Mayor unilaterally decided to build mass shelters in our neighborhood, a lot of the support was driven by a compassionate argument: "Would you rather have people in shelters or on the street." My concern was simple: "We're going to end up with both." That reality is now rapidly becoming City policy... as Portland City Council will vote on Wednesday to strip funding from the "Impact Reduction Program," the initiative that cleans up dangerous, illegal, violent and criminal camping. As far as I can tell, we have a large group of City Councilors who need to see continued suffering, slow street deaths, and chaos on our streets in order to bolster an adolescent socialist housing plan, instead of the idea succeeding or failing on its own merits. Defunding a program to clean-up and maintain a safe and livable neighborhood is completely unacceptable... but the effort to do that is now an appalling reality, with full-throated support from at least one of our District 4 Councilors.

I don’t think people understand how organized pro-sweep turnout will be to wednesdays council meeting.

As others have said, we all need to be clear on the fact that what is happening in Chicago is a preview of what they are planning for all blue cities.

Especially as midterms approach.

They will tear gas us at the polls and say, oh, this isn't voter suppression. It's just business as usual.

I think that's Eddie Pepitone

Our amendment doesn’t cut those things.

Mayor Wilson could’ve called me to clarify and ask questions before blasting us in a newsletter, but of course he has to find a scapegoat when he doesn’t magically end homelessness on 12/1 by warehousing people.

Looking forward to clarifying this tomorrow.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Want to help trans people access their healthcare?

We've produced these kits in Nashville, Austin, and LA.

Right now we're pushing to complete 1,000 more in 4 additional cities before the end of the year. All in collaboration with trans-led groups who distribute directly to their communities.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Long prison sentences function as involuntary sterilization of incarcerated people By keeping me imprisoned through the years when I might have become a parent, the prison system reproduces eugenicist logic

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.

Reporter: This is really crazy. The median age of first-time home buyers is 40 years old. That's a shocking number. That's a record high. And by the way, in 2021, that number was 33 years old. It's a huge problem

Onion and Mustard Suite, Third Movement

The gutting of Teen Vogue, a publication which dared to treat its readers seriously and with respect, is an especially dispiriting day in old media's long, self-destructive forced march to nowhere

This is, pardon my language, FUCKING BULLSHIT! @leximcmenamin.com is a top tier journalist who had a great interview with Mamdani THIS WEEKEND!!! The kind the NYT could never do. It’s bullshit of Anna Wintour to destroy the TV politics desk on the eve of a mayoralty they were born to cover

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

It's ska where you've never seen it before... and never wanted to see it before.

Inspired by re-watching Akira and also seeing a brass band pepper balled and gassed in Portland, prepare yourself for my new sci-fi epic CYBERSKANK
