Si QS avait supporté les usagers du métro, on aurait souligné l'incohérence pour un parti de gauche de ne pas supporter les syndiqué-es. 🙄 #DamnIfYouDoDamnIfYouDon't
Et Buzzeti de rappeler que ce sont les pauvres qui prennent le métro, QS aurait dû les supporter au lieu de supporter les grévistes de la STM. 🙄

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

#NowPlaying This was a leaving present from one of my team at the Virgin Megastore in Basingstoke who was dating Joe Strummer's daughter at the time. It was less than a week later that I heard about Joe's death on the BBC lunchtime news. Love them or hate them, this is a great Saturday night LP.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.
And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.
But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.
