some other familiar grocery store names that are brands for producer-owned agricultural co-ops:

Blue Diamond

Land O'Lakes
Tillamook
Welch's

I do want to note Mamdani's transition specifically calling attention to like, people applying for city jobs and how many CVs they got in the mail, etc, because when was the last time you saw a politician actually talk about expanding state capacity other than hiring more cops?

Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

Love how well the photo turned out. Your camera is much better than my Apple SE 2020 camera.

This is a really good thread. I've never worked in moderation, so hearing this explainer really helped.

It hath ben a longe tyme synce Ich have rockid and rollid
It hath ben a longe tyme synce Ich did the strolle
O Let me retourne, let me retourne
Retourne to the place whence Ich went from
It hath ben a longe tyme, ben a longe tyme
Ben a longe lonelye lonelye lonelye O lonelye tyme

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

The Wonder of Watching People Run Marathons have gathered strangers for more than a century now.

I really enjoyed this short piece from @theatlantic.bsky.social . It pinpoints something that I really love about running races--even those shorter than marathons.

Every location has a picket line in front of it. Don’t cross the line.

If a filmmaker is gonna do one for the money, the high bars are DePalma's The Untouchables and Mission: Impossible. Make it so good that it never occurs to anyone to ask about your motivation for making it. So good that they're just grateful it exists.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- harris@slate.com or dm me.

Supreme Court declines to revisit landmark same-sex marriage precedent | CNN Politics The Supreme Court on Monday declined an opportunity to overturn its landmark precedent recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, tossing aside an appeal that had roiled LGBTQ advocates ...

This is good news… but please don’t let our guard down.. it was a hard case for the anti marriage equality advocates to overturn. We will continue to stand up for the rights of all Americans including those who are LGBTQ+

Pass it on for anyone with long COVID who might want to be part of these trials.

Ursula did super well but she's going to get soft in trad publishing where the editors are nice to her.

Anyway! DAGGERBOUND by T Kingfisher! A delightful romp with mild to moderate Ursula-standard horrors and plenty of old friends I have sorely missed. Out next August, pre-order now!

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

the aim of the american constitutional structure is twofold: to prevent major change without consensus and to have a workable system of self-government. supermajority rules for ordinary business might promote consensus (i think this is wrong btw) but they make government unworkable!

I want to see them arrest the Eucharistic Procession and log the monstrance into evidence so badly because that would be such a propaganda gift

this has been one of my central arguments the past ten years. the theory underpinning the anti-democratic elements of the american constitutional order is wrong!

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?"

What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

As a Dodgers fan, I literally feel like Sarah Connor at the end of the first Terminator. That’s how good the Blue Jays were.

Like we won but I’m so traumatized I’m going to lose custody of my son because I trained him to shoot weapons in Nicaragua and I’ll end up in a max cell at Pescadero

I asked my French publisher why they are so completist publishing all of an author's work, even novels less likely to sell. She said she sees part of her role as like monasteries in medieval times, to preserve knowledge through the dark ages. I was struck in the gut a bit by this, felt emotional.
