UPS Teamster, shop steward, rank and file worker. Solidarity forever.
I work nights and our landlord has been working on the house the last week and plans on going into the next. I'm a light sleeper and am fucking *exhausted* having been woken up an hour after I go to sleep every day...

Is there, like, a reverse motel? Like, check in at 4 AM check out at 3 PM?

Years back when I was really struggling my Dad offered me a deal: if I could sell some cemetery plots my grandpa left him I could keep half the money. I agreed, my Dad sent me the deeds to the plot. I didn't have any luck selling them but tonight I decided to read them in full and EXCUSE ME 😳😳😳😳😳😳

The 90-year period during which unions could build and wield power without strikes, by using an accepted legal and administrative framework, is coming to an end.

Not Just Unions; Strike-Ready Unions.
The illusion of labor power without strikes is coming to an end.

I've been a Teamster for 11 years and I'm learning for the first time today that there is a steering wheel in the IBT logo behind Thunder and Lightning

I know you're not supposed to but I do enjoy messing with health insurance sales texts. "We're sure we can get you a better deal on your insurance."

Brother, I don't even pay for my health insurance, if you want to give me health insurance and pay me for it then be my guest.

The worst thing about working at UPS is they never let you take any of the packages home with you :(

"Elon and Doge have found 5.6 million Americans who receive social security benefits for "stunting on these white boys" under Biden's watch...That's what the Democrats want, folks."

These awful Democrats, they've all said they want to kill all white people, did you know that? Under Biden they unanimously voted on a bill to kill every person over 70 years old--and I quote "in a looney toons way." Can you believe that? I don't even know what that means but the Democrats want it.

What's your preferred hot sauce?

I'm real big on sweet-forward, carrot based, habanero sauces. Melinda's, Louisiana Supreme etc. I'm surprised they're not more popular!

if the nfl rules that the tush push is illegal, that means all the games the eagles have won in recent years will be vacated and the chiefs will be retroactively recognized as this year's super bowl champion, thereby securing a threepeat. if anyone disagrees, please quote this post or leave a reply

Remembering the time my punk friends got a local Jimmy John's to lobby corporate to remove their "free smells" sign after they cited it as reason to allow them hang out in the lobby and make zines for like a week.

It's always interesting to see what events lead to mass media narratives shifting. In 2020 there was a focus on public health and then police violence. In 2023 it was train derailments and then the labor movement. Now we have the US Federal government and plane crashes.
real instructive that just by paying attention to the background hum of regular small plane crashes the media has created a perception of a sharp increase

An interesting thing in the iterated prisoner's dilemma is that tit for tat is the *cheapest* strategy.

Every additional maliciousness and complexity you tack on, costs more.

Cruelty literally *inherently* is less efficient. It is impossible to be cruel, efficiently.

Finally saw a dermatologist! She took one look at my face and was immediately like "3 month antibiotic regimen. Tretinoin daily. Azelaic acid daily. Be consistent."

Glad I'm going to clear up but, like, damn lol

I think the daily value for potassium is a decades long troll from nutritionists. 4.7 grams is crazy. You can't honestly tell me a dietician isn't lying when they're like "yeah so you should be eating 10 bananas every day. Or ~6 baked potatoes. Whatever works best for you :-)."

i think the chiefs basically threepeated. the only reason they didn’t win the third super bowl is that they had to play a team that was better than them. not fair, not their fault

"Does the union offer pet insurance?" is now my favorite query by a member.

No, sister, but now I know exactly what we'll be demanding in our next contract!
