I wish my parents were around to see this. I still say, "Hello, computer" in my horrific Scottish accent on the regular. I suspect there will be a lot of happy Gen X tears for this
Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

I think they're trying to make people quit so they don't have to pay unemployment. This is the dumbest boomer shit.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

It's never too late to grasp that if someone works full-time and receives SNAP, it means YOUR taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the COMPANY because it refuses to pay them a livable wage.

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Hey white friends. I'm seeing a lot of people say they will be giving out food items like ramen, etc. to trick-or-treaters tonight since SNAP benefits are cutting off tomorrow.
Y'all? If you do it, please also give out CANDY.
Children in need deserve to have a fun night of treats too.

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

An incredible thread that puts into words so many of my thoughts about Platner.
This is slightly hard to articulate and I'm trying to get across the distinction I'm making here, but the Platner stuff makes me think a lot about how much time society has for straight white guys. And that's obviously not any kind of revelation, but bear with me...

They know how Mamdani used the word Aunt. They have to challenge everything to keep us too exhausted to fight it. I am reminding myself so I don't allow myself to become complacent. Every little thing matters. Every little lie is strategic.
