HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM

I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop.

PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

I became a notary public this summer, and the process (in massachusetts) included "obtain 4 signatures of known and respected members of your community". Nowhere is there any official definition of what qualifies someone as a respected member of the community.

But on my 3rd playthrough I managed to recruit everyone, even though I’d thought it wasn’t possible (some of them… don’t like each other very much 😅)

Oh wow I haven't seen this in decades.

Every single brand of Hanukkah gelt I looked at is a product of Israel. 😑

I'd like to comment on this by saying that in my first playthrough I reached a point and realized I'd done things - some of them accidental! - that made 3 companion characters unrecruitable. 😬

Just saw this and "accidentally flung a gnome off a windmill" is 🤣🤣🤣 and also I knew exactly where you were in the game.

Notice to abled ppl - u ARE allowed to use products designed specifically for desabled ppl in mind, regardless of how its marketed. ESPECIALLY if ur buying from a small business bc not only r u supportimg that small business, ur allowing them to make even more of that product to reach more ppl!!

The postal service is not a business, measuring it by revenue is the wrong frame for understanding its worth.

If I was rich I’d buy every single Switch 2 game that came out with the game actually on the cartridge, just because fuck game key cards.

Highest-Paid Female Athletes 2025: Top 15 All Make $10M+ The top 15 earned an estimated $249 million this year, and the cutoff to make the cut jumped from $6.7 million in 2024 to $10.1 million.

“All make $10m+” Why is this presented as excessive? Major League Baseball has 140 *male* players set to play in 2026 on contracts worth at least $10m average annual value… so far. Just one sport. www.sportico.com/personalitie...

As ever... the vast, vast majority of people don't want the hellscape the right is forcing on us. they really are the minority viewpoint. vocal? yes. powerful? unfortunately, yes. But there are so many more people who don't want to live in the world they're trying to make.

Muppets?

Corvus, a mostly black cat, curled up asleep against my leg and belly. Her right front leg is extended.

Every time recently that I lie down on my bed, Corvus comes and curls up against me. A few times she’s even purred so I can feel her rumbling! 🥰🥰🥰

What this tells me that Orion has been getting a lot more attention than Corvus, & I need to rectify that.

Otherwise? …yeah sounds about right.

You and @chuckwendig.bsky.social can form a sympathy group. Or, you know, retaliatory.

Graphic announcing that NiemanLab reported Politico management violated AI adoption safeguards. Large text reads: “NewsGuild Journalists won their AI arbitration against POLITICO… but why does that matter?” Below is a red button stating “Let’s talk about it.” At the bottom are the logos for The NewsGuild and “News Not Slop.”

Graphic explaining the significance of the AI arbitration ruling. Section heading reads: “The ruling marks one of the first major tests of an AI clause in a newsroom union contract.” Social media screenshots quote PEN Guild posts discussing Politico’s use of AI tools and emphasizing that AI isn’t held to human editorial standards. Large red box states that NewsGuild journalists fought for AI protections because robots are not subject to the same editorial rigor.

Graphic stating that the Politico arbitration proves union contracts protect workers from unethical AI implementation. A large quote from the US Congressional Research Service notes that no broad federal AI regulatory framework exists. Text below explains that government hasn’t caught up to regulating AI, leaving workers vulnerable to cost-cutting by employers.

Graphic with heading “This is a blueprint for workers everywhere.” Text explains that strong contract language on AI at Politico sets a model for all industries facing unregulated AI. Another line reads: “If workers can enforce AI protections here, we can enforce them anywhere.” Below is a photo of a woman holding a megaphone at a labor rally, and a “News Not Slop” block inviting viewers to sign a petition.

Workers can regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop.

Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @pen-guild.bsky.social

Exactly.

If you decide to abandon or sacrifice trans people, our job is to make that decision HURT.

We must create consequences, as a matter of simple survival.

I disagree. There need to be consequences for cowardice in moments like these if you want to prevent more defections.
