The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Mr Lever, the soap guy, building picturesque homes for his workers to improve the quality of life, his family actually working in the business, and the homes being a terraced design that provides windows on all four sides, is such a contrast comparison of when business worked in/with/for community.

All serious and weighty conversations should take place near a field of sheep, point being that if you can maintain the weight of the conversation then it's warranted, but if you can't, you're probably taking yourself to seriously

UO: Despite the multiple genocides, and setting the stage for centuries of world conflict, The British Empire, had really good hat game; terrible people with fantastic hats. Ironically, Indian Empire, had equally good hat game. BBC Empires of Haters, I'd watch it.

I think all those Princesse Diaries, Marry the Prince, rom-coms cooked a lot of people's brains when it comes to Monarchy. Like they watch those and think that's Monarchy, never understanding real Monarchy, like the Windsors, only works with a sword of Damocles over their head.

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

Infrastructure, weak.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed 4 years ago. In new research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social we study its effects.

US transport spending increased by 30%, but:
—Funding for non-highway projects flatlined
—Construction cost increases resulted in no actual increase in infrastructure

Trader Joe's switching 16oz bag of ground coffee with 14oz at same price, and regular trick of reversing location of the regular broth with the low sodium, are definitely on my shit list. Really excited for public grocery stores, because building at least one fair model is better than regulation.

I once had an interview for a tech job, and I was so complimentary of my current boss, that the interviewer went and had a phone interview with her, while I was there. Which wasted everyone's time, she made more than they were offering for the position. /1

I adore, Grand Designs, it's like a compendium of reasons not to build your own Dream House. Like, I just clocked an, at this point in the episode, 400 pound home, situated directly beneath high voltage energy lines. If the mortgage, or the build, don't kill ya, the cancer will!

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court.

Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

They aren't caving because people will go hungry, they're caving because people are prioritizing food over things like debt payments and rent, which is a real threat to the Investment economy built on debt. They're caving for Billionaire donors, not kids.

You know, not properly talked about, but you used to be able to go to a newsstand, and just buy a copy of the magazine or paper. Now you need subscription, which is always broken down for you as pittance a week, yet you have to pay upfront a big chunk, followed by a promise it'll increase next year

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Tater tots should have edges, so they don't roll, surely one could extrude potatoes into a nice rhombus, hexagon, or trapezoid. Stabilize the tots.
