Imagine having a store people felt so comfortable going into that they gave it a cute nickname, and then throwing that away for the sake of a political group that doesn't even shop there, fucking up so badly that a lot of the former shoppers realized they didn't need to buy so much stuff anyway.
Target CEO Brian Cornell is stepping down after 11 years at the retailer, as the company faces slumping sales and backlash to its retreat on DEI. cnn.it/3UCqycs

A reminder that Alpenglow is a female-owned small business whose core ethos is independence and badassery in equal measure.
Heading off to protest today.
Happy that I picked an evergreen all-purpose message when I built this sign.
Angry that this message is fucking evergreen.

So I’m a little behind on my podcasts but I did not have @preetbharara.bsky.social calmly, eloquently, and definitively telling bigots to get bent on my 2025 bingo card. Even when I’m trying to dial down my news and politics consumption for my own health, Stay Tuned is can’t-miss.

Some days it just hits me how every one of us--every single person reading this--is braver, tougher, and more generous than any of the billionaires who fancy themselves our superiors, and how ridiculous it is that this handful of cry babies with the luxury of doing ANYTHING THEY WANT choose... this.

So while my overall view of the world is pretty grim right now, I did discover one thing recently that’s pretty nice. The latest iOS update adds a one-button option to record calls. You know who hates that? All of those goddamned spam callers. I’m 10/10 having them hang up once I press that button.

So I’m watching the latest episode of The Tracker and it was a fun enough show already but now I’m really hoping it’s a backdoor pilot for a new instance in the X-Files saga. I doubt Fox (or whoever holds the rights) is anywhere near close enough for that, but I keep hoping…
