Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.
The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them
The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

that the most important bit of the usa once again bombing yemen is the group chat and not the bombs is so disheartening
I'm sorry you refuse to see Yemenis as people. I'm sorry your brains are so rotted by propaganda and American exceptionalism that your sympathy lies with your military and not the people slaughtered by that military. I'm sorry that you still think of yourself as liberal or progressive.

These people are clearly not up for the job.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

I think if you’re running at that point it’s not about serving people, it’s about your ego. Where are the protégés you should have been cultivating? Isn’t it their turn yet?

Cis allies, here's a super simple way to support trans people - and you don't even have to talk to anyone on the phone!
Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

As a rule of thumb, if there's a difference between (a) "how I'd expect to be treated as an emigrant" and (b) "how I expect migrants to my country to be treated" and (b) is worse than (a)... you might not be racist but you're definitely an arsehole.

So between actual lives saved and the entirely abstract and extremely remote possibility that school sports will be made marginally less fair, it's not a hard moral choice. Your cis daughter's high school track numbers DON'T MATTER AT ALL compared to someone else's trans daughter's whole life.

i will add, for those crying out for at least a section of butcher block:
have you ever purchased a house with 70yo wood cutting board area? i have. there is no amount of scrubbing or sanding that will make it clean enough. it stays completely covered by shelf liner and a giant cutting board. asco.

Controversial opinion: kitchens that are all granite, tile, marble, and porcelain are very pretty but not practical. The ideal kitchen has linoleum flooring, Formica countertops, and a stainless steel sink
