As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Obviously these people are, on a literal, factual level, insane. But it's interesting to think about this in terms of what it suggests about the actual function of bus fares and similar user fees: to keep undesirable people out of public spaces.
"The more-than-300 comments responding to that anonymous post are full of mothers looking for property in New Jersey or Florida, predicting that Mamdani’s promise to make buses free will lead criminals to rape and kill innocent passengers."

It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

As a New York City sex offender who supports Israel and has taken a great deal of money from the government of Turkey: this one hurts. I won't lie. We will be back on the horse tomorrow, but tonight? Yeah, it hurts.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy.
"There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

I’m replaying the first Mass Effect game and it’s a real sign of how groundbreaking and great that game is that I didn’t remember that 75% of it is getting your shitty space car stuck in various crevasses

I mean fine but if Mamdani was Spider-Man the editor of the big local paper would have a completely over-the-top and underexplained vendetta against him
This is like how New York treats Spider-man in the comic books

useful piece for people who might be wavering on Zohran. from the outside he seems like a smart guy who is willing to build alliances with more experienced folks like Lander, I think that is key
Here it is: my urbanist NYC voter guide. While Zellnor Myrie and Brad Lander are (by far) the best candidates, you’re going to have to rank either Zohran or Cuomo if you want your vote to count.
I dove deep into this decision and came to the conclusion that Zohran is the superior choice.

My intro Egyptian language class in college had an extra credit assignment to watch this movie and spot inaccuracies! IIRC ‘the book of the dead’ is a codex and the opening pans over Karnak Temple and the Pyramids of Giza in one shot (opposite parts of the country)
See, I always love it when a film throws a bunch of money at a couple of academics like this. Fuck yeah Professor Adler, go hog wild in the set shop being uptight about the color of the stone walls
