If unions are so bad why is it always your boss telling you that?

New on the Labor Notes Pod 🎙️@sbworkersunited.org's Sabina Aguirre on what striking workers are fighting for: decent wages that won't leave them dependent on SNAP and Medicaid, and proper staffing so baristas aren't scrambling to make 80 drinks an hour labornotespodcast.podbean.com/e/starbucks-...

The guiding premise of all protests against this should be "Let the wild rumpus begin!"

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

We've all been there, Bill

When I was almost four years old I worked so hard on writing my name because you had to "sign" your library card. The library was the repository of all the world's knowledge and I wanted nothing more for my birthday than access to that.

It seems like the most common language in London (at least around Bloomsbury) is Hindi. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

While I was not Jimmy Kimmel's biggest fan, I think in these times, the most important thing to honor his show's legacy is to release the Epstein Files

Fortune: "The NCGA called on Congress and the Trump admin to boost demand, including via higher blends of ethanol and increased foreign market access"
I saw a great stat the other day: One acre of corn will power an F150 35k miles. One acre of solar panels will power an F150 Lightning 550k miles.

Real life Socialism! From MAGA

I've been trying to get Steve Miran to do an interview for ages. Trump folks rarely do substantial print interviews. But this week Miran agreed, and we sat down for an hour in his office. The Fed was off limits, but we talked inflation, tariffs, BLS, Intel and more. www.barrons.com/articles/tru...
Barron’s: President Trump said this week that the U.S. is interested in taking equity stakes in more companies, as it did with Intel. Are there particular companies in which we should expect the government to invest? Stephen Miran: We’ll see. But there is a pretty profound logic that if the U.S. taxpayer is taking extraordinary steps to support some of these companies, as they did with the Chips Act grants and loans to Intel, the taxpayer needs to be protected. Providing upside exposure in the form of equity is proper stewardship of government resources for the taxpayer. But does it help the economy? Does it help Intel? This money was already out the door. The policy question was settled in the previous administration. What is behind the idea of a sovereign-wealth fund? Is there real thinking going into that? Not yet in a formal sense, although it is still early in the presidential term. Some of the trade deals that the president negotiated contain material commitments from foreign governments to invest in the United States in cooperation with the U.S. government. The sovereign-wealth fund hasn’t been formally birthed yet. However, there are things that resemble it that are starting to materialize.
