Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

You can tell an account is a bot on here bc it'll have 🇨🇦 in their bio

I wish every time I got a cold it didn't last for a MONTH

They already do! 😋

It's crazy they used a mugshot in a way that insinuates that she somehow went to jail for those comments

i think thats good for people who do crimes that genuinely are just them making the choice to be shitty and aren't just crimes of poverty or whatever

Bugs are so small they can probably taste individual carbohydrates huh

Oh my GOD??? 20 THOUSAND times effectiveness??? I didn't read the study itself, just this article, so hopefully there's nothing sneaky going on. But on its face this sounds like a profound breakthrough.

Such an artistic truth nuke. I've felt similar things about wall-art but didn't have the words to explain it.

Time for a journalism co-op.

why do you care more about allowing slop bot followers to keep following you after blocking them than this tech sovereignty thing. even if it's impossible/unethical to remove followers when blocking (I don't believe that, but regardless) it could still be mitigated somehow??? What odd priorities.

Single antivenom protects against 17 different snakebites Researchers immunized an alpaca and a llama with snake venoms, and combined some of the antibodies produced into a potent cocktail.

By combining 8 different nanobodies isolated from alpacas and llamas following immunization with snake venom - this research team has produced an antivenom that not only protects against 17 different snake venoms but also protects from tissue local damage, a major problem associated with bites.

It really is an industry plant huh

Yeah it's weird so many people think they're legit when they don't have any actual medical training. I wonder how many people think they're real doctors bc they don't know actual spine doctors are a thing.

Monster Rio Punch is my favorite flavor. It also has something weird and different going on with the taste or texture that I love. Really wish they had a 0 sugar version of this.

It would be so cool for there to be a line of open source appliances

Oh interesting, any cool insights so far?

these are so good to listen to in the background while playing factorio

ive seen this before but never clarified: do anarchists actually believe this or is this image popular bc the proposition is mildly absurd

I'm inclined to think it's gonna happen I just don't know what the real world ramifications would be

I'm so curious what actual mechanisms involved in the ai bubble popping. Investors getting fed up without any tangible return?
