Stop being gross, rapey pigs. Why do you have to get 1000% caught? Because you are empowered by all the others who get away with this same criminal, anti-woman behavior. The Epstein Files show this! Shame!

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.

Thank you for posting these! I love them. I live in an exceedingly dry, largely treeless area, so I find these extra fantastic. Almost as useful as chapstick. 😊

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I’d be interested in doing one on AI slop and inequality as a sociologist. I’m not an AI expert but I do work on inequality, nationalism, and lgbtq populations. Regardless, good luck w the project!

Academic writing-tip/recommendation (discipline agnostic): Have a summary figure.
It makes it a lot easier for the reviewers and editor to gauge your message and intention, and for readers to take the message you want them to take from your manuscript.

Worth noting that it takes *a LOT* to get science folks to make public denunciations like this. He is a serious threat and insurance companies will happily stop covering any/everything they can b/c of him.

Found some important stamps in my desk. I don’t like feeling that they’re turning into nostalgic collectibles.

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
