Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.

This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.

Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.

Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.
Amazon Closes Operations in Quebec, Laying off 1,700 Workers
Unions had gained a foothold in one of the company’s warehouses in the province, though Amazon would not say if there was a connection.

Amazon supprime "l'équité pour les Noirs" et "les droits LGBTQ+" des politiques de l'entreprise. Toute mention du mot "transgenre" a aussi disparu.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

I have the short version:

Mary Sue originally meant "obvious author self-insert in fan fiction, respected and adored by established characters to a humorous degree"

Now it means "any woman who displays 1/5 of the abilities James Bond regularly displays."

Get it? Got it? Good.

Yessss. If you haven't been to a library in awhile you may be shocked with how relevant they still are 🙌🙌 24/7 library Stan.
i finally went to my local library this morning to get a library card and discovered they have an IMMENSE graphic novel collection.

This makes me so happy

Still absolutely appalled by this analogy. Yesterday I noted that even in terms of corporate law Trump's looting and waste isn't ok.

Today I point out: what do you mean the country is HIS that he's ACQUIRED???

THE UNITED STATES BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT ***HIM***!!

He's a steward, not an owner.
Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.

There are always some and the Director know what they are.

DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.
Hi Mark, how do you feel about cancer research being canceled.

@ifbookspod.bsky.social please consider doing "Expecting Better" by Emily Oster. It gets recommended CONSTANTLY and it's kind of freakonomics for pregnancy. Just statistics used for some important medical advice.

How many messages has @michaelhobbes.bsky.social gotten about colostrum so far? Because MICHAEL it is not "womb juice". It's the very early breast milk that's, like super charged for the first few days before the regular milk comes in. It's does not touch the placenta.

Now that the government is in charge of sports betting, does that free up the mob to do like…high speed railway construction or universal healthcare?

Reading people complain about their grumpy and occasionally mean grandparents makes me wish for grandparents like that. Which should have been my first clue I needed to cut ties with my abusive grandmother.

Two things to remember:

A) Uber and Lyft do not need to shut down operations in Minneapolis. They are choosing to do it to scare other communities considering applying fairness to gig work

B) this tactic is available to them because they're only abandoning one market. They can't do it everywhere.

So glad to be in credits (for cultural consultation) in Pathfinder Remaster's Monster Core! I was approached for advice on how to bring Golarion's nagas closer to their roots in folklore and religion, and that was an amazing opportunity to combine my academic, religious, and game design interests!

💙📚 If you're looking for a good novel to read to your kids Im really enjoying The Silver Arrow and The Golden Swift by Lev Grossman. Magical gift on your 11th birthday, magic trains, talking animals AND trains, a little bit of conservation. It's like Narnia if Jesus was replaced with the environment
