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.

Gentle reminder that I am going to be on TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES (!!!!) on Monday for an evening of programming that we put together. I hope you'll be able to tune in. Love y'all.

This excellent post is evoking Larissa Sansour's In the Future, They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2015), which features "narrative terrorists" that bury fabricated artifacts for future political fights over history. In addition to the film, Sansour actually did this as part of the project!

the obsession with how history remembers…leaving the “record” to time insinuates the future record has a “neutral” author that won’t censor, distort, or willfully ignore the truth.
“history” & willful remembering is the responsibility of us all, not for unnamed people for a under-regarded future.

Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

You can't use flexible spending accounts to pay for insurance premiums, only medical expenses. So your premiums go way up, but you can... pay for more visits? In practice, this would mean people end their insurance plans and try to save enough on their FSAs to cover care.
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
