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.

We have officially entered the Christmas Book Flood season here in Iceland (aka Jólabókaflóð) which means that every day for the next 4-5 weeks there is a book launch party somewhere that you can go to and get free booze!

Just watched a video of IDF soldiers blowing up a donkey in Gaza for the fun of it and celebrating afterwards. Let me guess, the donkey was Hamas.

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant.
Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed.
This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

Tell me something that brought you joy this week.
Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.
