"Graciela" shares, "I've harvesting strawberries in the Watsonville CA area for the last 12 years. I earn for min wage. It’s very tiring work, but I never slack off. I keep working hard to earn my paycheck and support my family." #WeFeedYou
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Happy 420. Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is OUT NOW!

i guested on a good podcast to talk about @mothership.blog!! check it out. @404media.co is awesome btw, if you like mothership you should be reading 404 as well
We could see 100,000 stories like this from all across the world and the United States would never.
Fundamentally we’re a country that believes in punishment and threat thereof as the only path to morality and money as the single indicator of a moral life.
It’s real real good :)
Screenshot from the video game "Replaced" where the protagonist, Reach, is looking at white cat sitting in a chair and saying to himself "I wonder what the purpose of a cat is? All they seem to do is sleep and purr and look kind of sad."
Same, Reach. Same.
It is with a heavy yet hopeful heart that I announce that my beloved Super Mario Bros. prototype cartridge has left and arrived at its new owner's home. We spent one last day together doing all of its favorite things. The proceeds from this private sale will benefit VGHF doing even more cool shit.
Historian Alex Smith (author and host of They Create Worlds) joins us for the latest Video Game History Hour podcast to challenge the prevailing “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” narrative in the early '90s: gamehistory.org/episode-154-sega-in-the-...
In a scene from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Live Fast and Prosper" we see a trio of imposters approaching a miner on Telsius Prime. From right to left, there is an alien named Mobar impersonating Tuvok, an alien named Dala impersonating Captain Janeway, and an alien named Daniel Radcliffe impersonating "Weird Al" Yankovic (with his Hawaiian shirt wide open exposing his hairy chest and a necklace with five platinum records on it).

I think regulating what poor people are allowed to eat is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of.
In his second administration, President Trump’s family members are expanding their business ventures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars and prompting fresh concerns about influence peddling and conflicts of interest. https://to.pbs.org/4tTfPdh
Last month in The Onion:
Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
The year is 1848. Once again the rioters have taken to the barricades while I, once again, had to make the dangerous overland trek to Versailles to submit a form I should have been able to submit online…
On the bridge of the Enterprise D, Riker stands with his arm around Captain Picard whose mouth is open wide (possibly singing). "Weird Al" Yankovic is on Riker's other side, looking a bit awkward at the situation.

But also, I don’t think anyone has experienced the rug-pulling speedrun more than millennials. A lot of Gen X at least had a childhood in a world that seemed to care somewhat about equality and mobility.
A lot of this rings very true. Except for the whole thing about quietly not seeking credit for accomplishments. I don’t know many of my cohort that won’t tell you to your face that their idea was their idea 🤣
In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.
Possibly the most important piece of my career.
Many thanks to Mothership for giving me the time and space to have a crack at this crucial topic.
Folks, I am pleased to report that this story has now been updated with a much more fitting image, courtesy of @zackzwiezen.com:

I’m suddenly more interested in this than I was before listening to this!
In a corridor aboard the Enterprise (Strange New Worlds), we see Cadet Uhura holding a PADD and doing some kind of dance or jig with her left knee raised in the air. To the right is "Weird Al" Yankovic who has kicked his left leg straight up in the air...to the point that it looks inhuman.

In a corridor aboard the USS Discovery, we see "Weird Al" Yankovic and Captain Christopher Pike leaning in toward the camera and acting silly. Al sports a goatee and sunglasses with his hair pulled back, as well as an all-white suit. Pike is wearing the blue Discovery uniform with gold accents.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”
Another shout out to Victor Glover as Artemis II's pilot. While coming back in for their re-entry, NASA mentioned repeatedly how clean and perfect their trajectory was.
