Midnight Gourmand has infiltrated lunch.
I have no complaints.

like 90% of the teslas in LA don’t have front license plates, illegal, and you can just… call the city and they’ll come out and issue a ticket. this is how you become a white hat karen, this is where the busybodies can contribute

Can you look at these 9 photos and not smile on International Day of Happiness? March 20 is International Happiness Day — a day that the United Nations had dedicated to the celebration of joy. We asked photographers around the world to share a picture that can bring bliss.

One of my side quest life missions is reintroducing people to their joy.
Bubbles are an excellent shortcut.

freezing the account for Habitat. these are bad people; they deserve worse things than can be prudently enumerated in a public-facing place.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Trump appeals order reinstating fired NLRB member, judge tells him 'president is not a king' Gwynne Wilcox was the first National Labor Relations Board member ever fired. A judge said Trump does not have the power to fire board members 'at will.'

A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement.

This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful.

Keep up the fight.

Dear dems:

Stop being “respectful”, stop being “fair.”

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

My theory:
Horror movies follow social trends and over the past 13 years we’ve seen a big push stating that people in power are the “actual victims” as disenfranchised minority groups gain a voice and their movements gain momentum. This rhetoric came to a head with the 2022 presidential nomination.

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

U.S. Terminates Funding for Polio, H.I.V., Malaria and Nutrition Programs Around the World Here are some of the 5,800 contracts the Trump administration formally canceled this week in a wave of terse emails.

“People will die, but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts Federal workers who were not let go said the afternoon layoffs included meteorologists who do crucial local forecasts in National Weather Service offices across the U.S.

Trump and Elon just began firing hundreds of NOAA workers serving “mission-critical and life-saving roles.”

These climate experts and forecasters are crucial to tracking natural disasters like hurricanes.

Make no mistake, their terminations will cause preventable deaths.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

I think you all need my little void on your timeline. Posing with my gallery wall…

Judge tells Trump administration it has less than 2 days to resume USAID funding A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to resume hundreds of millions of dollars in payments for U.S. Agency for International Development projects.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

me, in bed with stomach flu, delirious, aloud: “oh no I’m going to cry about everything”

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Why not?

Currently too broke for these short, but if someone wants to cheer me up…

After mass layoffs, some federal agencies are trying to bring employees back A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."
