You read that white: Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is 'Cloud Dancer'
This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white. The company says it's "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection."

Please sign and share this petition asking Publix supermarkets to reverse their recent decision to allow open carry in their stores. If their stores are so unsafe customers feel a need to bring guns, they should hire professional security, not let randos intimidate shoppers.

Long thread, but a worthy read…
The gloriously articulated, salient point of this Cory Doctorow thread, for me, is: "neoliberal economists made it a sin to ask about 'distributional effects' (that is, asking about how the pie gets divided) - you're only supposed to care about how big the pie gets". [1/2]

I get that any contact to someone's person is assault, but let's have a little perspective. It was a pound of food, nearly half of which consisted of a heat-set, wheat-based, energy absorbing foam.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
