Yes! Hold the line! Support the workers!! Solidarity!!
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

YEESH!
Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was worse than gross. Jeffrey Epstein.

I was talking to a friend the other day about the grossness of how many classic rock songs about a "sexy girl" specifically state her age as 17. Top marks go to the Styx song "Jennifer", which I won't even quote here because it's so incredibly squicky.
See also: internet countdown clocks for the Olsen twins, Christina Aguilera, and other girls growing up, sayings like "if there's grass on the field...", and Brooke Shields's early career.
I also remember the whole "money, cars, girls" acquisition arc for boys and men everywhere in pop culture.

I realized the other day that if you don't have time or energy to get into a long conversation with me, just messaging me to say "Hey, I'm thinking of you" is more than enough for me.

Shitty parenting from the Silicon Valley set. Never occurred to me to tell my math gifted son that he could be an asshole since he was good with numbers.

These weirdos will find any little thing to get upset about. Nothing makes them happy and nothing ever will.
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

Just finished The Mercy Makers by @tessagratton.bsky.social and it's one of the best fantasy stories I've read in a while. Queer, subversive, dreamy, tense, and spicy, with gorgeous, intriguing world-building, fascinating magic, and my favorite kind of narrator (3rd person cheeky). I'm astounded.
