During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Just once I’d like a politician to say “this is going to be a standard campaign, give me money so I have a better chance of winning it”

Oh wow. Oh. Ok. I thought that was a joke but no it’s…it’s not a joke. It’s actual data from DoorDash.
We used to have the Bureau of Labor Statistics collect inflation data but under Trump we’ve outsourced it to DoorDash
At some point embarrassment MUST come

I was angrily admonished by a Boomer when I worked at a video store in the summer of 2000 because I had never heard of The Rutles, a Beatles mockumentary. He said I needed to learn my history. Vowed then and there to never be that kind of old person. Leave this kid alone!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Not sure what this guy was so busy doing all summer than he couldn’t listen to the entire Jokerman podcast series on Billy Joel followed by a five hour HBO documentary like I did. Concerning.

There is an urge among some in labor adjacent spaces to find common cause with these people on labor reform. The endpoint is always the same - you don’t get a good deal for labor, you get a pro-white labor movement. You absolutely cannot play footsie with this stuff. It never ends well.
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

I hadn't seen anyone explain exactly why Trump withholding SNAP funds is illegal until @brycecovert.bsky.social did it for us.
Short version: benefits must go to all eligible applicants, & the reserve fund must be used when appropriations expire to keep the program operating.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

Yeah but see, he's white, male, no college degree, which makes him working class.
Unlike all the women who are waitresses, admins, mechanics, medical assistants, etc. Especially the nonwhite women. Definitely not working class.

As someone who watched a lot of Lifetime the summer after 7th grade, I can almost guarantee he is referring to the tv miniseries A Woman Named Jackie.
Trump: "That was the swimming pool where Jackie would say, 'I hear women inside. Are women inside?' Quite a famous... I'm not saying anything. This was a part of a movie. And the Secret Service said, 'No, ma'am. There's no women inside, ma'am. I'm sorry, ma'am. You're going to have to move along.'"
