Here's a real blood and guts review I did of Reed Krakoff's eponymous fashion line for the New York Times. It ended up killing him, almost.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Trump has escalated his attack on Portland by deploying more Feds to Portland for the purpose of intimidating and silencing our community, so that we comply in advance with his fascist regime. Don’t acquiesce. Join an org, talk to your neighbors and build solidarity networks to keep each other safe.

Hello, UK Labour. I understand the appeal of getting into bed with seductively deep-pocketed US tech companies, but before you leap, consider this. And Palantir, whose owner promotes discredited theories of racial hierarchies, is even worse.
Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

The shocking thing about the benign political voice of Ben & Jerry's being silenced by Unilever is that Unilever isn't even a particularly evil company. It's half Dutch, it's publicly owned. If multinational motherfuckers are censoring themselves in advance for Der Furor, they've given up on us.
