Cop “unions” are a repulsive stain on the American labor movement, and it’s truly an embarrassment that so few labor leaders are willing to admit that. www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...

once again I will remind people that the structure of unions and labor relations we have in this country was a compromise because the alternative involved firebombing the houses of the executives

@jamesstout.bsky.social in the unlikely event that your next immigration news update is lacking content, I just thought I’d bring up the good steps my city is taking

Long Beach will discipline city employees who disobey sanctuary policies, train them to limit ICE agents’ access
It’s the second time the City Council strengthened sanctuary rules this year as they try to keep pace with evolving immigration enforcement tactics and assuage fears among those at risk of deportation...

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

“Once you get troops on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bad. Some kid throws a stone, next minute there’s houses on fire and people getting killed.”
Discworld QOTD, from Eric

“The captain glared at him. The sergeant put on the poker face that has been handed down from NCO to NCO ever since one protoamphibian told another, lower-ranking protoamphibian to muster a squad of newts and Take That Beach.”
Discworld QOTD, from The Last Hero

“Too many people, when listing all the perils to be found in the search for lost treasure or ancient wisdom, had forgotten to put at the top of the list "the man who arrived just before you".”

@iwriteok.bsky.social Listening to the latest BtB as a British guy:
1. The weird machete is called a Zombie Knife in the UK - banned 2024 due to its use in gang violence
2. His accent is so fucking weird. It jumps between regional accents with every word with minimal Luton in there - very very odd
