Yesterday we converged on Sacramento to rally around the success of the statewide $20 fast food minimum wage, plan on how to ensure the Fast Food Council keeps up the progress workers in our industry demand, and to release the official California Fast Food Workers Union anthem

I saw the headlines this poll got and figured there was a screw loose somewhere. Glad to see I was right.
Don't simply believe polls you see! They are very easy to be used to mislead.
If Bluesky wants to drive up engagement, they need a little paper airplane icon in the interface.
I'm so glad I missed that article at the time.
"Can you get me off the hook? For old time's sake?"
"Can't do it, Cell."
This is an amazing feat (and a great story). Basically the montage at the end of the Godfather, except with rogue immune cells instead of Michael Corleone's rivals.
"The agreement stipulates that each party may field their own Mayoral candidate, but that parties agree to engage in a good-faith effort to determine which progressive mayor is best suited to compete."
This looks like very good news from @onecityvan.bsky.social @vangreens.bsky.social and @copevancouver.bsky.social:
"Each party will limit nominated candidates for City Council, School Board, and Park Board, for up to 13 total non-mayor candidates per party."

Am I the only one who thinks it’s even more outlandish that Trump thinks of himself as a doctor?
I would dearly love to tell you I was the kind of kid who ate this stuff up.
Instead, I have to report that it creeped the shit out of me.
For the same reason, I only watched The Banana Splits for the opening credits.

I'm 62 and I'm just pitifully grateful someone thinks I'm not a boomer.
Not a hope in hell I’m the first to think of that. Not even going to bother searching.
*X-communication
And demand that parties and their leaders tell you what they’ll do to strengthen democratic resilience. Few platforms in recent years have had much to say; that has to change.
Me when I see authoritarians get their ass kicked 🪶
Fair point!
CBC's The Fifth Estate manages to unpack the claims being made by the people behind the ostrich farm fiasco without once using the word "bullshit," and I congratulate them on their restraint. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
This is from January, but it's something I've been asked about a lot lately so I'm sharing this again: The impact of book bans on both royalties and school visit income has been very significant for queer authors (eg. 70% drop), and the threat to the future of LGBTQ+ books is serious and alarming.
"How many divisions does the Pope have?"
"Parker!! Forget Spider-Man — I need a front-page shot of the Antipope as of five minutes ago!"
Yes. And on even-numbered days it's called "race communism," and on odd-numbered days it's called "the feminization of our culture."
Important read for anyone concerned about book bans and censorship in Canada. @caiabb.bsky.social

As a communications professional, I like to think I'm better equipped than many to resist being marketed at, pandered to or emotionally manipulated.
That said, I'm crushed that the Apple store doesn't sell Little Finder Guys.
Threads screen grab: “The mission, of course, was named for the iconic Artemus Gordon.”
Apologies if these are the only two decent opening credits that start with phones ringing.
The fact that my iPhone didn’t know how to properly capitalize either of those is a searing indictment of Apple.
Drop your favourite TV opening credits that start with phones ringing.
Mine are The Bob Newhart Show and The Rockford Files.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
A very happy Easter to everyone celebrating this holiday of rebirth, renewal and brighter days ahead!
