Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs UC Berkeley study finds employment held steady — and only pennies were added to menu prices.

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.

Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.

This is a movement whose entire existence rests on the argument that the (voluminous) evidence of gender-affirming care's efficacy doesn't count because its methodology is weak. Yet their own side accepts the most embarrassingly janky studies you've ever seen.

A large, ring-shaped Lucrehulk-class droid control ship orbits the green and blue planet Naboo, surrounded by several smaller Vulture droids in the dark expanse of space.

- the magical girl episode (with a captain named by-god "Mary Sue")
- the Le Carre-esque Section 31 after action report episode

Chicago Turns All Public School IDs Into Library Cards To Boost Student Access Chicago Public Library and CPS announced the expansion of The 81 Club, building on a pilot launched in 2022 to give students access to the library system's vast collection and databases.

Picture of the moon with a Shen Yun billboard in front of it with the text “More breathtaking views from Artemis II”

In awe of the images from Artemis II of the dark side of the moon.

Am I missing something? I genuinely enjoyed Project Hail Mary as a space opera movie. Not hard science, but fine space opera

The book is… White Fang / Old Yeller in space with a happier ending. “A man battles hardship and finds courage with his dog/alien” is… not that exciting?

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted

it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted

have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

Our Wins Of The Week This week Donald Trump saw loss after loss, and the schadenfreude is real.

Between new court rulings blocking parts of Trump’s agenda, another drop in his approval numbers, Democrats maintaining their polling advantage nationally, and Virginia passing paid sick and family leave, there was no shortage of encouraging developments this week.

I’ve said this before but I truly think that reading shit you’re not ready for is how you learn to sit with discomfort. By forbidding the next generation from pushing their boundaries, you’re doing them an immense disservice
