You guys the vegan pesto melt at pine box may possibly be the best sandwich ever. And that's not even counting the pickled carrots on the side.

When a cop blasts himself in the face with a chemical weapon banned by the Geneva Conventions he acts like he's about to die, summons an entire crew of medics ready to save his life.
When he maces a college student it's just another week he improbably manages to earn over 168 hours of overtime in.

Can’t stress how amazing this feed of all gift links/gift articles shared on Bluesky is. It’s largely the best of the stuff in traditional papers without the bullshit and fluff, shared by people who liked it enough to pay for it.

The rich and poor alike are free to sleep in their cars
As housing costs skyrocket in this Arizona city, leaders have approved a program that will allow workers to live in cars amid an affordable housing crisis
As housing costs skyrocket, Sedona will allow workers to live in cars. Residents aren't happy
A petition for a ballot referendum to let Sedona voters decide for themselves on the program could soon be making its way around town.

Next time the Seattle Times cries about the death of local newspapers, remember that they seriously believe that yelling at the city council from across the room is the same as violently breaking into the Capitol and attempting to overthrow the government

Do not think of accessibility as charity. Think of it as investment no different from your pension or your savings. Just as you expend yourself to preserve your way of life in a world where you cannot work, expend yourself to preserve your ability to interact with a world that finds you less able.
Hey. Yeah, you, hey: if you are not currently sick or disabled, one day you will be, and you will wish you lived in a world that had the resources and culture to make your life as full and thriving and happy as anyone else's. You will want that world, and you can start helping make it, right now.

This is an amazing story. Houston criminalized feeding the homeless, Food not Bombs continued to do so, the city has ticketed them dozens of times and occasionally arrested members but hasn’t been able to get a single conviction. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Food Not Bombs trial rescheduled after too many jurors objected to $500 fine for feeding homeless
Roughly 90 tickets have been issued since March to volunteers with the loosely organized Food Not Bombs, which serves meals to people in need.

I’m really interested in what liberals who think Gaza teenagers should spontaneously rise up, with no external support, and overthrow Hamas have planned for next year. I mean, if the government is really that bad, they’ll surely rise up and show those kids how it’s done.
