Big Corporations: If you raise the minimum wage, we’ll have to raise prices. If we let our workers unionize, we’ll have to raise prices. If you tax us more, we’ll have to raise prices.
Also Big Corporations: (raises prices without any of those things happening)

I feel like we’ve gone quite a few rounds of “this guy is unfortunately not the guy you want him to be,” and it never really sticks.
Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…
To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Thanks to one of my mutuals, a preteen girl got a legit Mamdani t-shirt and campaign buttons for Christmas.
“Now he’s like us, right?”
That meant someone got to draw this and do an impromptu lecture to an actually interested child. I don’t know who is happier, man or child.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

The worst thing about this 60 Min story is that the powerful are not held to account bc of the compliance and cowardice of the very specific exec chosen for this role.
A secondary worst thing is that said exec will face 0 accountability
A tertiary worst thing is that CBS News is no longer trusted

People passing around the 60 Minutes CECOT piece like teenage boys from the 1980s passing around their dad's Playboy issues, and YouTube cannot take down ripped copies fast enough.
Here's one that's interesting: a video of the video.

A couple of arguments about who should really be 1 and 2 then we went on and enjoyed all the bowl games and the holidays. No stress.
So I think the BCS was perfectly fine.
