It’s probably a typo and I was supposed to set out a minefield. But mines are horribly inhumane and none of the mimes said a word as I buried them.

There are 6 times as many librarians in the US as coal miners
There are ten times as many home health aides in the US as there are miners
right. given the numbers, “how to win back the working class” should be as much about care and service workers as hard hats. and yet.

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.
After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

Some days are a battlefield,

Tuesdays are a battlefield.
Mars was the Roman god of war.
The Germanic equivalent was Tīw or Tiu (Norse = Tyr).
This is why today is called ‘Tuesday.’
And why it’s mardi/martes/martedì in the Romance Languages.
