Yes, I am quite dumb, thank you
Not that he was beloved before, but Jimmy Fallon's "response" (if you can call it that) to the Kimmel/Disney/ABC/1st Amendment issue certainly has many comedians coming out of the woodwork to call Fallon as sellout and an embarrassment.

There's a segment of Disney Park attendees who are known as "Disney Adults," and they happily drop loads of cash every year on branded experiences. In my personal experience, these folks are more liberal-leaning. Disney may have just made a bigger financial error than they anticipated.

In Feb'25, Drump forced CA's backup water supply—designed for central Californian farmers (a notorious red zone) when summer droughts hit—to empty.

Objectively this was meant to punish us for not being #TeamDump, and would also increase the cost of produce. How's the produce cost right now? 🤔

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Today is César Chávez Day. 🎉
A man who starved himself so farm workers could have basic rights.

The right to drink water.
The right not to be sprayed with pesticides.
The right to live through a day’s work.

As I’ve been saying: It’s imperative to treat every single local election as a chance to prove to the GOP that their bullshit has electoral consequences.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency.

Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you.

So much for lowering costs.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:

you don't get to talk about it.

you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

You can separate these actions into at least two atrocities:
1. The act itself of trying to wipe away the memories of non-white American heroes
2. The technical staff who discussed, likely during standup or in a slack channel, the best way to do this work as if it were any other developer ticket.

The argument that teachers make too much money is a fascist talking point, meant to turn educators—sources of knowledge—into villains.
