Hey friends, I'm doing my best to make it easy for folks to come here and find their communities. I've got two starter packs so far - one with general left-ish activists and leaders, and one with folks working on union issues. Links in chat, and if you'd like to be added to one let me know!

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Unless that's potato salad, I now know why people have been complaining about "lumpy mashed potatoes" here on Al Gore's Internet.

Ok a quick explanation of this madness with a little preview of what goes into pie day and the final results...
My parents are old hippies, the kind that gave us shit like carob. When I was a kid, we didn't have a lot of sweets... except at Thanksgiving. 🧵

the other thing they mean is "we do not care about you as a person. the only value we recognize is what we can squeeze out of you. we want employees who agree that their lives are ours to own."
this is, again, a case of someone who has not done any kind of real work in decades (maybe ever, she has a degree in political science and has been doing HR her entire career) who think the bullshit they sleepwalk through every day is work and don't understand why real human beings get tired by it

Apparently Apple TV is making a Neuromancer show. I wish I could be excited. But after the hot mess that TV has made out of the three-body problem and peripheral recently, I don't have a lot of faith that they're going to get Gibson's best work anything close to tonally accurate

One thing I learned this year: who says they have your back and who actually shows up when you're up against a wall. I've made some incredible new friends this year, and I'm super grateful for it.

Ok, I've now completed 20 pies. I have 3 custards left to make tomorrow. Then Friday morning it's assembling and baking quiche (prep work is done) and baking the apple pie (must be fresh). Amy hasn't started her 4, but barring something going awry the final count will be 33 pies this year.

It drives me nuts when you get a fortune cookie that's actually a proverb or an observation. It makes me way more angry when Trump Stormtroopers tear apart immigrant families. Fuck ICE. Come for a fun surprise, stay for a shout out to @immdef.bsky.social ✊

Elon's vaporware pipe dreams are keeping the stock afloat, but if I understood how to short a stock, I'd be looking at late January Tesla earnings report as a great opportunity to make some money at the expense of an Elon simp #teslatakedown
Tesla's EU sales were down 48.5% in October, and are down 30% in a year-to-date when EV sales are up 26%.
Tesla's China sales fell 35.8% in October, for an 8.4% decline year-to-date.
Tesla's US sales fell 24% in October, after incentives expired.
IT'S HAPPENING!
