An option piece from the times newspaper. Originally it said "did women ruin the workplace". Now it says "did having to work ruin the workplace"

I fixed the title

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

Blood pressure pro tip: expend energy giving money to the DSA rather than ranting about Dem leadership. This is just a note to self.

They couldn’t let us bask in the joy of victory for even 1 week.

All they gave us was 5 days. Couldn’t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sigh…

I am so furious right now.

AGs across the country fought to get SNAP benefits.

Federal workers suffered with weeks of no pay.

Millions of people showed up to protest Trump.

Democrats showed up in record numbers at the polls to say 'we've got your back!'

And you caved for literally nothing.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

the mtg/linguistics/trans nerds have translated "death before detransition" into phyrexian.

Claim: Mamdani is a communist. False: Any real communist will happily spend six hours explaining why this isn’t true.

WIRED is doing some of the most impactful political reporting of this administration. That’s made possible by our subscribers, who signal to our employer, Conde Nast, that this work is worth protecting. Conde has never told us what to report and has stood behind our work, but it is also true that how a company treats its workers is political. The Conde Union has been working tirelessly to bring that same spirit of accountability to all of Conde Nast and must continue to do so. —WIRED’s Conde Union Members

A statement from Wired's Conde Union Members

Watching election returns tonight is making me realize that 2024 was significantly more traumatizing than I realized lol.

Kind of surreal to watch an election where the worst people you know don't win every horrible thing they've ever wanted.

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

oh god, they're getting absolutely smoked on even the deep deep ballot votes. This is glorious

Ouch

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent.

It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.

It's getting scary out there. Cities are creating surveillance networks to hand over to ICE & the White House has dropped all guardrails against siphoning all data from people's phones.

Tough defection week? Backlash over refusing to adopt principles on trans rights? Bring out the Sarah McBride of Scottish politics.

The Spirit Squadron condemns Elizabeth Eddy’s NY Post article, which promotes a hateful ideology that targets trans and cis Black women athletes under the guise of “protecting women,” and it has no place in the NWSL.

Trans people belong everywhere, including in sport 🏳️‍⚧️

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

This article quotes the university president saying Lia was on the women's swimming and diving team, but she's not on this year's roster on their athletic department website. The NCAA banned her from being on the team when Trump first took office.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Every couple of weeks I'll hear a coworker speak the acronym "SA" for solution architect and my brain immediately hears "ése", sometimes producing hilarious results

Alt text, or "alternative text," functions as a text alternative for images. This makes web content accessible to people who use screen readers or braille displays. Alt text also displays in cases where an image fails to load due to a slow connection or other issues, like today's AWS outage.

Today's AWS outage is causing many sites to load slower than usual. That means images might not be loading as fast as they normally do. But if you've remembered to add alt text to your images, your users will still be able to get the context and content of your images on your site.
