there is a DSA joke in here somewhere.

Teen Vogue's Closure and the Quiet Defunding of Worker Consciousness Teen Vogue’s shutdown marks more than a media loss. This is a warning about how profit-driven consolidation quietly dismantles worker awareness and voice.

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

Kodak Quietly Begins Directly Selling Kodak Gold and Ultramax Film Again Kodak appears to be taking back control over the distribution of its film.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Caterpillar paid for it, but they’re using Volvo’s to demolish it. Not even getting any product placement out of it. Bad deal.

Saw parks in both Philly and NYC this summer with sections blocked off. Both cases it was some string and an informational sign about giving the grass a break. This doesn’t feel like that.

Would love to know the reason so I can be educated in my grumblings and rants about them when I walk by.

Always keep enough tea cups on hand for an impromptu tea party with the fairy garden's inhabitants. From time to time, small seasonal treasures or activities can be exciting, but not required. Have fun!

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
