We’ll take orders from the man who wants to deport our families, just please don’t do it during graduation.

Got it.

The cognitive dissonance here is something else.

I think too many start off joining for the money/benefits but they slowly start to drink the kool aid.

Frustrating af.

He calls me Cassandra, and says
"'Cause no one will believe
Your prophecies"
He calls me his Cassandra
As he puffs
His Cohiba Behike

Oh boy.

As always, the new Tori song doesn’t hold back.

He says, "I no longer believe
That freedom and democracy
Are compatible
Compatible
That's clear to me"
"There is hierarchy
You should be pleased to serve
In any capacity
Capacity
I'm not asking"

New album can’t come soon enough.

I’m starting to understand why our birth rates are going down.

Maybe GOP could suggest supporting vaccines and medicine instead of…whatever has been happening.

That there are people who watched The Apprentice and thought “this man would make a fine president!” Just boggles my mind. That it happened not once, but they *saw* how his first term went and said “you know what? I think he needs another go.”

No one can deny that dismantling education works. /sigh

The Effects of California's $20 Fast Food
Minimum Wage on Prices
Jeffrey Clemens, Olivia Edwards, Jonathan Meer &
Joshua D. Nguyen
WORKING PAPER 34990
DOI 10.3386/w34990
ISSUE DATE March 2026
We analyze the effect of California's $20 fast food minimum wage (Assembly Bill 1228), enacted in September 2023 and implemented in April 2024, on consumer prices using the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Indices for food away from home across 21 metropolitan statistical areas. Food away from home prices in California's four in-sample MSAs increased by 3.3 to 3.6 percent relative to 17 control MSAs through December 2024. Our estimates are stable across a number of specifications. Placebo tests on price indices for goods and services that were not affected by the policy, including food at home, show no differential increases in California's MSAs.
The price increases we estimate likely arise in part from spillovers to the full-service sector, as well as changes in the production functions and product quality choices of limited service restaurants.

CA’s $20 fast food minimum wage raised fast food prices by only 3%. The reason minimum wage increases keep not reducing employment and barely increasing prices is monopsony power.

They've got a nimble little two-step with this stuff: liberals who criticize Israel are being antisemitic, but conservatives who are being antisemitic are just criticizing Israel

How Worried Should You Be About Mercury in Your Tuna? - Consumer Reports Consumer Reports tested popular canned tuna like Starkist, Bumble Bee, and Chicken of the Sea. Here’s how much tuna is safe to eat—for pregnant people, and everyone else.

Make sure you keep consumption of skipjack to 2-3 5 oz cans or a single can of albacore a week.

Mercury poisoning isn’t great.

I hate that I can’t eat it all the time since it’s such an affordable protein source! My RD told me to watch my intake.

Why do men sexually harass women at work? Science offers two explanations – but only one of them holds up There are two ways to understand sexual harassment in the workplace, but one of them is more scientific than the other.

Sexual harassment is not about sex; it is about gender hierarchy maintenance. Demands for sexual favors, sexist remarks and even requests for note-taking reinforce traditional gender roles and confer greater status and authority to men.

Five Reasons Why It Still Wasn't a Lab Leak Time for some of that civil disagreement that the NIH Director can't get enough of

Maybe you heard somewhere that the COVID-19 pandemic started with a lab leak? NO! That is NOT what the evidence shows. It was not a goddamn lab leak.
I’ve had enough. Here is what the evidence shows: it was zoonotic spillover at the market

You wanna see into the future for how the US wants to treat black/brown, trans and disabled folks?

Watch how Israel treats Palestinians.

No. I am not overreacting or projecting or hysterical. I am using context clues.

Annihilation is the plan.

"If your words don't spread, they don't work."

You need your base to not just agree, but to say it, wear it, protest it, and talk to their neighbors about it.

I wonder if they learned it by watching what has happened to people in their home country under the repressive regime?

You know - the US?

That‘s exactly why the term “virtue signaling“ exists.

It’s spread to mainstream use now (😑), but it originated on the right as a manifestation of their moral stuntedness and how they project their own ugly nihilism onto everyone else.
THEY don’t care, so they think no one ELSE does, either.

A lot of people are desperate for community right now, the feeling they are not alone and are actively seeking connection to others to deal with huge issues. It's why 9M people attended No Kings protests, people keep turning out for Heated Rivalry events, and all the anti-ICE community efforts.

I got a pair of these to replace a very old pair of Beats I got free when I got a laptop for a school years and years ago.

They’re quite nice, especially at their price point.

And they’re pink!
