I assume this really means they squeezed their sellers for more money to "promote" the placement of their products on the platform. If that's the case then they are in a tough spot as third party sellers are squeezed by both the platform and tariffs.

one thing about scotus clerks is that even if they have shitty politics or favor some awful constitutional theory for whatever reasons, they aren't DUMB and if they are going to bring out the knives for emil bove, they are going to sink them deep.
The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.
“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”

This is the kind of mapping of the coup we all need to see. And we need to build a media org that covers it in this way.
There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

heads up to all the girl dads out there with young daughters. At roughly 12 yrs of age they turn into bedroom goblins. I was unaware that I would lose her to such a seemingly austere room in my own home. Zero warning. She'll be in there for hours. Just a FYI so its not so jarring to anyone else.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... a thin argument against a minimum wage. Of course the author had to gloss over inflation because Trumps main premise is tariffs driving increased domestic production. That will likely come with inflation and hopefully higher wages
California raised pay – and thousands of people lost jobs. Wake up, liberals! | Opinion
One of the most serious consequences of higher minimum wages is the harm inflicted on entry-level workers who are trying to get first-job experience.
