My man!
A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

Here is an example of terrible headline writing. Instead, it should say something like “Voting in Ohio is needlessly difficult and AG LaRose does nothing to fix the problem.”
Two weeks from Election Day, more than 20% of eligible central Ohio voters may not be able to cast their votes on Nov. 4. https://nbc4i.co/47gRt3f?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_

Yeah, he’s in the B1G now. That’s how we do it.

I cancelled the @nytimes.com recently and they wanted to know the reason. Exhibit 1. WAY too much of this stuff.

@profloumoore.bsky.social Turn NBA TV on. They’re documenting how Nique got robbed in 88.

These cowards are just cheating. Terrified of voters.
🚨BREAKING: Florida Republicans have opened the door to redrawing the state’s congressional map mid-decade — joining Texas and potentially other GOP-led states in a national push to secure more Republican House seats ahead of 2026. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Laissez Fair conservatives in my life think this is far superior to slightly longer wait times in countries with socialized medicine.
A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Absolutely anything besides paying people more.
A Pittsburgh company became the first to operate a driverless 18-wheeler on a U.S. highway. Autonomous trucks, proponents say, could solve a knot of problems facing the American shipping industry, which has struggled to recruit drivers for grueling, low-paying long-haul shifts.
Yes, That 18-Wheeler on a Texas Highway Is Driving Itself

There was a lot of Max Strus slander this past off season. He is owed apologies

Injuries? What is wrong with this guy?
RFK JR: ADD, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, Narcolepsy, Autism.. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid.

@dignityofwork.bsky.social I don’t suppose you all need a labor historian on staff?

RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

100% correct.
I love history, so I am excited to live through the 1840s, the Robber Baron era, the 1918 Pandemic, the Great Depression. 1930s Germany, and the 1960s at the exact same time

What an embarrassment.
Teamsters President Sean O'Brien downplays Trump's reckless firings of federal workers: "We don't want to see anybody losing their jobs, but he thinks he's within his right."

This man’s work is incredibly important. I’ve cited it too many times to count. He was a giant.

This, and the NLRB dismissal, will be catastrophic for workers who are not white.
Two of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s three Democratic commissioners said that they had been removed from their roles by President Trump in a round of late-night firings on Monday night.
Trump Fired E.E.O.C. Commissioners in Late-Night Purge
The removals of the commissioners, along with the general counsel, were part of a whirlwind of actions since Mr. Trump took office, with many aiming to gut diversity policies.

I will be writing the acknowledgements and dedication sections to my dissertation during today’s inauguration. I’d rather feel gratitude than anger.
