Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Dammit. Now I have an idea for an essay comparing and contrasting the concept of newtypes from Gundam where a new stage of humanity comes into being in space to C.J. Cherryh's stories of humanities growing apart from each other culturally as they move into and through different environments.

$6.6 billion would let you hire a *lot* of translators, dubbers, and editors. And a lot more accuracy as well.
The new edition of Forbes magazine just dropped - the cover story is on two 30-year-old entrepreneurs from Poland, who sick of bad movie dubbing, built their own voice AI model. Today, it's worth $6.6 billion, they are new billionaires & are beating Silicon Valley's tech giants

Poco Loco, my local extremely white taco shop, is having a seasonal special "grande gobbler" for a few days. A flatbread with turkey, cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and a cup of gravy.
I've added some of Sauce Leopard's Bird's Blood cranberry Habanero hot sauce to it.
Not bad!
