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

and a worker tier whose emails are like:
Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Grad Students: The Larry Summers news should shed any shred of imposter syndrome you've felt in academia. Clearly, academics* can be far from perfect (at everything from spelling to relationships to human decency) and still make it all the way to the top of ivory tower.

Lmao this one hits hard, I feel like every time I actually managed to write one of these types of emails it took an entire day, ruined my mood for a week, and still is a source of profound self-loathing every time I recall it too specifically.
most relatable thing about Zohran is that Stereogum passed on writing about his music

eleven years ago, you rescued the writers of tiny mix tapes from ninjas, and sent a humiliated irate gamer packing - a lot has happened since then - the world is in turmoil, and now there's bigger villains to deal with - and they'll be dealt with soon - in a rather 32-bit manner. 🎮

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

You don’t have to mourn war criminals. You don’t have to issue condolences to their families.
You don’t have to launder their legacies.
Save your grief for the innocents they killed, maimed or tortured without ever seeing justice served to their executioners.
