It is not supportive to maintaining the fabric of society to say that everyone should have to bear the cost of stuff like crypto mining or AI data centers when neither are public goods and are damaging to the limited public goods we have left

Starbucks workers shouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck when CEO Brian Niccol has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the country. It would take only A SINGLE DAY’S sales to finalize fair union contracts. JUST ONE DAY.

Thank you for rallying with us today, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ! ✊πŸ”₯

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care.

Nobody Wants to Be a Foodie How β€œfoodie” went from badge of honor to cringey term to pejorative smear and all the way back again.

Here it is, my last piece for @eater.bsky.social: my treatise on the last 20 years of food culture, and how food turned into fandom. I really hope you read it. www.eater.com/food-culture...

if your model for journalism is offering a cheaper, shittier product at the same price point and hoping your subscribers/advertisers don't notice, you will fail!

it seems to me that the outlets that are doing well are the ones funding well-researched and thoroughly reported journalism. compromising on either of those pieces triggers a death spiral of losing staff and audiences

also these people reading the tea leaves of Harris's comments when she does not currently hold office/probably will not for the foreseeable future/other prominent Dems are being way more explicitly hateful feels like missing the point

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.
