if you need any additional reasons not to cross the picket line here (you shouldn't, but still), Starbucks' CEO thinks his company that makes coffee and sells cakes should be "all-in" on AI for some inexplicable reason
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.
Mike Johnson still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.
Hence the government shutdown, day 37. Beating the previous record set by Trump in 2018/19 of 35 days.

if this stops people from lazily relying on TVTropes instead of actually developing media literacy for themselves, this may end up being a good thing in the long run
but also, fuck off. TVTropes was fun, but as with everything else, enshittification based on greed has come for it.

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In shock news, Liz Truss's Stilton and Cheddar deal with Japan... actually led to a year on year decrease in Stilton and Cheddar exports to Japan.
The deal was largely a rollover of the one the European Union already had with Japan, but Truss had fought for better access for Stilton and cheddar.
Liz Truss's drive for Stilton exports to Japan proved a flop

“Critics worry China trapped in vicious cycle of building out amazing and useful infrastructure such as hydropower dam"
For critics, China’s construction of the world’s largest dam is another sign of Beijing’s inability to break from its tried-and-true formula of turning to infrastructure investment to stimulate the economy.
