I post more on Twitter (x dot com slash j0eylma0) (The name there is cringe, I know, I cannot really change it there though because I have a moderate following!)

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

This makes me actively want to go to Target even less, both because this sounds like a dystopian nightmare for employees but also I hate being bothered at the store and turning every stocker and clerk into a Direct TV salesperson/brand representative eager to ask me how I'm doing sounds like hell
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I've always loved this anecdote from Mira Nair, filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani, about pitching a studio exec on MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991) and being told he'd only fund it if it had more white people
"I said, 'Well, all the waiters in this film will be white. Of that, I can promise you.'"

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Shoutout to my constituent Jess, who spearheaded the organizing in Prince William County and reignited the successful fight from those of us who advocated for 16 grueling months in 2016-2017 when we got PWCS to finally include sexual orientation and gender identity in its nondiscrimination policy.

Michael Brooks would have turned 42 today. Here he is flawlessly explaining why the Israel Palestine situation is not complicated. Why it's not even asymmetrical warfare, but an occupation.
Rest in peace Michael. You were the best of us.

FYI for those who don't know: NBA players have in their contract that the players (ie LABOR) gets 50% of all basketball related income. WNBA players get ~9%.
The WNBA All-Stars came out wearing warmup shirts that said, "Pay Us What You Owe Us."
The players' union met with the WNBA Thursday and came away frustrated with the economic model proposed by the league.
