BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Thank you @annaroseiovine.bsky.social @mashable.com for including my thoughts about the adult studio alliance and industry code of conduct. Got to give performer-led safety initiatives credit where it’s due!

It's infuriating when someone posts their grocery bill online and someone else says "you're just shopping wrong." You are flatly in denial if you don't think prices are outrageous across products and stores

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

A bright spot of news I’m excited to share is that I was honored this past weekend by SPJ as a Fellow of the Society. I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me and @spitfirenews.com and I got to talk to student journalists about the future of our profession!

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.
Hasan Piker and the Future No One Is Ready For
The backlash that Piker is facing shows the consequences of a world where everyone is constantly being recorded and our internet is built to reward outrage and controversy.

If you think ai porn "Avoids exploitation of sex workers" you REALLY don't give a single solitary shit about sex workers.....or people in general for that matter.
A categorically new version of pornography centered on narrative while avoiding exploitation of sex workers and millions of liberal millennials inexplicably pretending like they're not going to use it

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

What's happening could not be more open and explicit. If you displease the regime, they will bring criminal charges against you.

Ask your immigrant friends what it's like to live in a country where the rule of law is a fiction and your freedom depends on the whims of a dictator.

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

You probably failed at "building bridges" if millions of people think that your life's work was destructive and terrible and if your supporters have to threaten people to keep them quiet about said legacy.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.
