Damn. K&W Cafeteria closed all locations today after 88 years in business. I have fond memories of being a kid and feeling grown up as I got my tray and selected my food and carried it to our table. It was a short amount span of time, all told, but the memories endure. I hope the staff will be ok

A point I've been making for a while now. They want us all to spend money while charging us more money and refusing to increase our pay. If the prices go up and the income does not then we run out of money. Surely the oh so smart business people understand this concept?
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

For the first time a U.S. county is making their guaranteed income program permanent.

The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.

If there's one food aversion of mine that I wish I could overcome, it's eggs. I really wish I could get into eating them. I've tried over the years to see if anything changes and I just can't do it. The closest I can get is the yolk for ramen or deviled eggs. Overall I'm just disgusted by the taste

It doesn't occur to people that their hostility towards other people is felt in their interactions. And then they're confused when the energy is returned

As best I can tell it: there's a club that exists and I know it does because while I wasn't old enough to get in everyone around me was in it and they loved it and assured me that my time would come and I'd join and love it too except my time has come and they're all gone and I'm still waiting

Does anybody else watch #NobodyWantsThis? Well, it's S2E6 and I just have to give the team a shout-out for the excellent Easter egging during the Purim party. Joanne's mom attends dressed as Madonna. The actress, Stephanie Faracy, was also the mom in Hocus Pocus. Costume callback!

Removing the swastika and confederate flag from a list of hate symbols isn't some small action, it's not trolling or "owning the libs" or anything like that, it's a clear declaration of purpose and intent.

They are Nazis, they are racists, and they want another Holocaust and the return of slavery.

I can't help but feel like so many of the wealthy people in power are pushing for AI to do the things humans enjoy, like creative work, because they have contempt for humanity as a whole. Robot art, robot music, robot recipes, robot teachers. They're building a world free of people.

Back in my day they taught us that a few companies owning everything was bad.

New Yorkers are also in favor of increasing taxes on large corporations based in the state, 60-30%.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.
