If you want a deep dive into the background and operations of the Alt National Park Service, I highly recommend this banger of a video by @adenng.com.

And Aden did what I couldn't: he found AltNPS's likely t-shirt distributor, and got us a much better idea of how much money the account is making.

Comparing names. Is support for this madness shrinking or growing since the inauguration?

I spoke with union nurses at the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, who are on the verge of losing their jobs to subcontractors. The decision is considered to be straight up union busting by the union.

"This is my livelihood," union nurse Kelly Peterson said. "I have kids that are under my insurance."

Disney Studios seeks to fire union lot nurses in favor of subcontractors, shredding an 85-year tradition

Disney Studio lot nurses, represented by IATSE Local 80, expressed shock and concern at the news; the union plans a response.

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

Michael Rapaport tweets: "How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰
This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem.
Who’s paying for that toro, “Zoron the Moron”?"

There are two photos of Zohran Mamdani and his wife eating at a restaurant.

Michael Rapaport eating outside of a restaurant. There are some white canopy umbrellas around him and a tree in the background. Also the ocean and some fence.

Two photos. The first shows the outside of Nobu in Malibu. The second shows the area where Michael sat. There is the same tree, ocean, white canopy umbrellas, and fence.

The menu for Nobu in Malibu shows prices around $60. The menu for Omen Sushi in NYC shows prices around $35.

Flood the mailrooms. If just 10% of the #nokings protesters takes the time to mail an envelope once a week… don’t want to write a letter? Mail junk mail. They have to open, stamp, categorize and file it all.

Flood the mailboxes. Addresses above. Or send to your Congress representatives. Even a postcard can make all the difference.
