Knitter, curler, African violet grower, upstate NY booster, used to rage about consumer stuff for a large audience and write their tweets. Now I work for some lawyers and rage about consumer stuff on my own time.
Corporate news that matters
This is our new CEO, Javier. I have officially adopted him. He is estimated to be 8 years old and he's deaf, so there's no need to give any feedback on his job performance. He is just a perfect gentlemen and I am so grateful he made his way to me. 14/10 no bias at all

My dad (Tax Dad, to Consumerist fans) was an accountant for a small private nonprofit hospital in the ‘90s. And he was disillusioned with the pay and perks of executives. “The only difference between a for-profit and non-profit is the nonprofit doesn’t pay taxes,” he would say.
Such an important point in @gingerthompson.bsky.social’s Sick in a Hospital Town Part 1 story: projects.propublica.org/albany-georg...

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

AltNPS's post is full of the same lurid details and breathless dramatization as their previous attempt at ICE raid erotica from a few weeks ago.
Things that AltNPS could not possibly have witnessed, and which aren't reported anywhere else.

I would very much like to thank the roughly two dozen educators and experts who answered my call when I started in on the research for this episode. It took longer than I meant to make it, but we got there. ❤️

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.
Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.
