Like maybe this is good advice in the US but I’ve had my bags lost or delayed three times in three years and frequently have to wait for luggage in *checks notes*
major European airports

Where are these places?!?

I kindly and politely disagree with this entire thread

that is…not my
experience

were you not just in my mentions going on about starbucks? guess what company owns jimmy deans en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyson_F...

I’m aware, but not everyone is

I mean name one Big Tech CEO that isn’t?

I don’t, because I’m aware of the difference that actual money makes

I promise you my reading 3 Substacks isn’t affecting the company or the boycott in any way but ok

I read some substacks. I won't give them my money, even when there's a writer I'd like to contribute to.

The same tech execs who defend allowing Nazi speech are also the ones who go far beyond what's required in banning speech related to designated terrorist organizations.

Actually, now is exactly the right time for people to express who they wouldn't vote for.

Substack Still Has A Nazi Problem (And Doesn't Care) For several years Substack has been accused of coddling white supremacy and fascist ideology for cash. And despite several major scandals and a mass defection of ethical authors, there's little seriou...

An important reminder that when people say "Substack is full of Nazis" they mean actual Nazis and other assorted white supremacists, not just "people they don't like" karlbode.com/substack-sti...

NEBHE* aka tuition break

I also used NEHBE my first year in Vermont before transferring to Binghamton.

Attending a SUNY was cheaper for me than attending UNH in my home state!

I graduated from @binghamtonu.bsky.social. It was the best education and experience I could've asked for, and cost me and my family less than attending my own state's primary state university would have.

Proud SUNY (Binghamton) grad!

"The University of California system, the California State system, the City University of New York — these are the institutions actually educating America’s workforce, actually moving first-generation students into the middle class, actually delivering on higher education’s democratic promise."

This kicks off in about 1:45 from now - join us for an informative discussion about internet shutdowns in Iran and elsewhere, and what you can do to help fight back.

Do you mean casually and willingly hand over my DNA to a commercial company so that it might later be used by a foreign government to prosecute a distant relative I've never met? No. We're not talking about knowingly handing over DNA to help solve a crime.

I just remembered my other one: just the last annoying bit of Lovely Rita 😭

Don't do murder, but also don't upload your DNA to commercial databases!

Sometimes I give in and watch weird true crime videos that YouTube suggests to me and the last one involved a cold case murder where the perp was caught 24 years later because a distant relative in another country uploaded their DNA to a commercial database.

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now:

pls explain?

Pony and WAP are both repetitive, I get it - Tiny Dancer is an interesting one though! I occasionally get "Not Like Us" on repeat, but also like...Velvet Underground-era Nico.

absolute earworm, of the worst kind

...that I heard it over the usual din of a crowded coffee shop at 8:15 this morning and it's still echoing in my head 15 hours later.

People take issue with the song "WAP" for lots of different reasons, but my primary issue with it is...
