Ah hell. Consistently listed as one of the best companies to work for and possibly the best grocery chain in the nation. This is terrible.
I guess I will no longer be shopping at Wegmans. It’s a shame because I love that store.

NYC Wegmans is storing biometric data on shoppers' eyes, voices and faces
The supermarket chain says it’s a move to ensure shopper safety. Surveillance experts warn of privacy risks.

The Newsletters are doing some great and essential reaction today.
"Congress...must do its duty, and begin an impeachment investigation in response to the administration’s attacks in Iran and Venezuela. A failure to do so only reinforces the anti-constitutional message that President Trump no longer requires Congressional authorization for war."

It's not optimal that four blokes from England provide the most succinct history of rogue US involvement and destabilization abroad that we'll ever get, but this stands up (and still goes hard) some 46 years later.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Similarly, you can say you’re “grabbing a Lyft” at the end of the night. It feels kind of important to not give shitty orgs that Kleenex/Xerox clout.
You should leave Substack in 2026, because they platform fascists regularly, but even before that I am *begging* you to stop referring to your writing as "my Substack" because why give them that agency. It's your writing, your posts, your words, on their platform.

Puka and Mookie’s guy catching some of that RICO heat
Drake and Adin Ross along with others are being hit with a Federal RICO case involving a tipping feature on Stake to transfer money among themselves, which was then used to artificially inflate Drake’s music streams across major distribution platforms. And, people questioned Kendrick.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

They didn’t even bother paying young people to dance by the stage and look excited.
Nothing screams Miami more than a performer 30 years past their prime singing their world-famous ode to meth.
