Where are you shopping?

I see Pitch; I up-vote.

Oh oh, don’t forget about vocalization of anti-transgender viewpoints: https://www.poynter.org/commentary/2023/new-york-times-bias-reporting-transgender-people/

The phrase I’ve seen bandied about for this is “world-class bullshit.” Very fitting.

Key pull quote from TFA:

Post chief executive Will Lewis, in an online explanation of the decision, wrote, “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election.”

“We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” Lewis wrote.

“We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” he wrote. “That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects.”

Reposting from elsewhere:

Seattle started the movement for a $15 minimum wage in 2014. It passed and was slowly phased in, finishing the rollout in 2021. It’s also aligned to inflation, so the current minimum wage (in 2024) is $20.76 per hour.

Any minimum wage legislation not tied to inflation is a half measure. Demand what you deserve.

It’s all about results. That said…

I’m Comic Sans, Asshole by Mike Lacher from McSweeney’s Short Imagined Monologues June 15, 2010

But one senior U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to detail Ms. Harris’s thinking, said that if she won the election and the war were still going on, her policy was not expected to change.

So she won’t because an anonymous tip says she won’t. No real information as to why that might be. Also, here are a bunch of grossly misleading talking points from the Trump campaign.

Ace reporting there, NYT. Keep fucking that chicken.

The new offer would not restore a traditional pension plan — a key demand of the 33,000 striking workers — but it would increase the amount of contributions to 401(k) retirement plans that Boeing would match.

Still no return of their pension though? Keep striking.

I listened to the 404 Media podcast about this yesterday and the author argues that the subject of the article’s ire is intended to be the researchers themselves. Specifically, the bad ethics of testing this integration on non-consenting individuals (even though it was seemingly done with good intent).

Luckily the researchers realized what the fuck they had just made and pivoted the project to being about how to break the integration (ie: opt out of facial recognition systems and freeze your credit score).

The documentary is called Separated, and it’s about the apparatus that separated the children of migrants to the US from their parents as a deterrent to immigrating.

Public service: the video this YouTube account uploaded before this one is titled “The Tiananmen Square ‘Massacre’ Never Happened”.

Remember folks, check your sources.

I am one of those obese people, and it seems so achingly unfair.

I am an active person. I eat similar foods and quantities as my peers, with drastically different results. I drink water, not soda or juice. I basically stopped drinking coffee, but when I did, it was always plain black. The only weight loss success I’ve had was spending a year on a keto diet, which my doctor swears was slowly killing me (salt, sulfites, etc). My doctor says I have mild hypothyroidism, but not bad enough to call for treatment.

I have been overweight my entire life, living in a world that fundamentally believes that this is entirely my fault. I don’t know how to convey the hopelessness that people like me have to live with, and the resolve that it requires to keep making healthy choices in spite of it, and never seeing beneficial results.

I don’t know how to get off this ride. All I ask is for other people to not believe I am a lazy shameless grotesque person for being forced to ride it.

I live in the residential area within the limits of a large US city.

To the nearest convenience store: 0.9 km
To the nearest chain supermarket: 2.6 km
To the bus stop: 0.3 km
To the nearest park: 0.8 km
To the nearest big supermarket: 3.1 km
To the nearest library: 2.7 km
To the nearest train station: 2.9 km

And I’d argue that these numbers are remarkably good for people in my situation as well.

I spotted a documentary that addresses the language issue at a tangential level that I put in the trailers community earlier last week…

I thought Romans typically used wax tablets. Paper was pretty rare, and I have no idea of they used quills for writing.

It is utterly atrocious that McSweenys had to assemble this list before any actual news outlet.
