It's like Minority Report, except if they replaced the psychics with racism.

I'm sick of this psyop that turkey sucks. I can only assume it derives from Big Ham. Oh, turkey is too dry? Learn how to brine properly, put some gravy on it, go for the dark meat. BuT iT's ToO bLaNd! Any protein can be too bland if you're balls at cooking it!
One side effect of half the world being in the throes of a fascist takeover is that comments like "turkey sucks" that used to lead to a 4 hour slapfight and approximately 135 blocks are now met with "well thats just like your opinion man" and thats progress

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I'd rather be back driving a forklift than deal with this bullshit. Fuck this ethos, fuck these companies, and especially fuck all the CEOs.
The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.

As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.
Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week
Start-ups are promoting hardcore cultures such as “996,” meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, as they race to compete in AI.

I promise: nobody read “waffles” as a lighthearted inside joke w/ the team about upcoming moderation systems. If folks are hurting your feelings, making you defensive or making things un-fun, *say that*! You can be vulnerable. But don’t fuck up the potential with petty shit when people are hurting.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Just some advice as both a seasoned activist & a survivor of domestic violence : The idea that how you react to violence dictates whether or not more violence will be inflicted upon you/your community is a framing that only helps those in power.

We're talking about people triggered by pronouns, ffs

All those people whining about how this wasn't the right time and but what about my convenience: Air Canada didn't lift a finger to negotiate. They ran out the clock and sat on their asses knowing the government would order back to work. Flight attendants said NO. AC made a real offer in >24 hrs.
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT, BABY! Congratulations to Air Canada Flight Attendants on their swift and unerring strike action!
