Food prices overall are still high, but egg prices are considerably down from those peaks - a nice thing, considering that scrambled eggs are my go-to lazy dinner, the meal I can always make no matter how tired or fridge-depleted I am. Scrambled eggs are affable plate mates, going well with toast and tortillas, rice and beans.

this is so bleak

“exhausted from the job that somehow still doesn’t allow you to put food on the table? may i present: scrambled egg dinner.”

Scrambling for dinner? Scrambled eggs. By Emily Weinstein

i saw someone say somewhere that the nyt recipe page not having any meat dishes on it is a recession indicator. this was the header for the nyt recipe newsletter today

Picture of text stating: show us what actions you can take to address congestion. Focus solutions on expanding and maximizing roadway capacity for driving. ....You may also need to recover roadway capacity from other purposes to support driving

"You may also need to recover road capacity
from other purposes to support driving." The Trump administration urges governors and mayors to take away bus lanes, bike lanes and sidewalks to support more driving. No kidding - straight from USDOT head Sean Duffy to every gov and mayor in America

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

that was such a bad call holy shit

okay, that’s better. :)

“frankly, there is only one majority in this country—that’s the working class.”

we have the power to improve the lives of working class people through tangible policies that lower costs, protect workers, reduce emissions and pollution, and increase our resilience to climate disasters. CCI’s framework lays that out:

bespoke: becoming so radicalized by the shittiness that you become a community organizer

Meanwhile… you 🫵🏿 can’t afford groceries

Data centers are on the ballot in 2026 — and just failed the first… A Wisconsin city voted to add new hurdles to data center development in response to unwanted construction, and more communities could soon follow suit.

Voters in Festus MO, a Republican stronghold, just ousted every incumbent council member in response to a data center approval. "Data center opposition is on the rise in every nook and cranny of the country — and it may have a massive influence on more than just local elections this November."

Every single infrastructure computer should be airgapped from the Internet has been my opening position since 1995 and I've only gotten more "I TOLD YOU SO" about it.

congrats to eric adams, who is now an albanian citizen for some reason??

oh, here’s one for @senatormeow.bsky.social: LED christmas lights look terrible, they should only sell warm LEDs

can’t stop thinking of that video clip of that HOA woman dragging one of her neighbors for using daylight bulbs

who am i kidding, none of these are actually “niche” issues, the problem is capitalism

this is getting into not-niche territory, but:

- it’s absolutely wild that all the decent paying jobs with benefits are full time positions. companies should be required to offer part time jobs with the same hourly pay and benefits for people who can’t or don’t want to work 40+ hours a week

clothes shouldn’t be made out of plastic! honestly in 2026, very few things should be made out of plastic

i was looking at buying a couch a couple years ago and was reading through forums where most folks were saying you had to spend $5k+ to find anything made with real wood and springs

(ended up getting very lucky and finding something on marketplace for a decent price after a very long search)

it’s absolutely insane that one could spend several thousand dollars on a couch just for it to be just saggy and awful a year later

- there are so many products being sold in stores that contain lead and lead paint! home goods (literally from Home Goods), zellige tiles, *baby bottles*

- all cars are too big now

- there are not enough trees in american cities

- every modern piece of media is written for an audience that is on their phone, which makes it insufferable to watch.

- food used to taste better and now it sucks. yes, the restaurants/sysco stuff but also thing you buy at the grocery store!!

- somehow we’re still using public money to build sports stadiums for billionaires, which will then earn them lots of money, and no we still won’t tax them

niche issues candidates could run on and win lots of votes, probably (add your own below):

- “cheap” couches are uncomfortable and fall apart quickly, but expensive couches are somehow ALSO uncomfortable and fall apart very quickly
