My most Gen X trait is that I miss getting my canceled checks in the mail every month. But strangely I don't miss writing checks.
My most Gen X trait is that I think the TikTok aesthetic is super-janky. Big faces, tiny microphones, bad layouts. I wish the youth would just write articles! Alas...

I have mixed feelings about how much gnarly rightwing shit I see on this platform due to leftwing people sharing it to condemn it. Just a reminder, folks

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

NEW polling: Majority of voters believe SNAP benefits have been cut & delayed because Trump is choosing to withhold available funds.
It’s no wonder why.
Just this morning, the Trump admin appealed the court’s decision to fully fund SNAP. They’re choosing to let people go hungry.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Jeff Bezos paid $50M for a wedding.
He just got a $16B tax break.
He laid off 60K people.
And you’re furious about a kid getting a free school lunch. Oh, right, your anger is totally not misplaced.

In case anyone is still thinking AI isn't a bubble, they're doing with data center leases what they did with mortgages in the run up to the 2008 crash.

We stopped ordering from Amazon years ago. When we needed a part that we could ONLY get there, we donated its purchase price to a union trying to organize there. Convenience isn't worth supporting this.
Many months in the reporting - my investigation into Amazon warehouses is finally live today. A huge thank you to the workers and others who spoke to me, on and off the record. inews.co.uk/news/human-c...
Broken bones, heart attacks and chemical burns - the human cost of Amazon orders
2,500 serious injury incidents have been recorded in UK Amazon warehouses in the last ten years - roughly one injury every day and a half

Meanwhile a Catholic Bishop is protesting the government detention of thousands of Christians in Chicago. Some of whom have already died in the horrific conditions there.
Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.

Saw some crew members at our local Trader Joe's looking vigilant and alert. Soon identified the cause: a man came stomping by, shouting "And they're out of TANGERINE juice now?!" So Silver Lake.
