Today I went to Yonder Coffee in Northridge! I got yummy baked goods and tea for under $10! And there was a lovely area to sit and do work which my local Starbucks no longer has.

Today's reminder that good people
Don't. Break. Picket. Lines.
There's no coffee you need so badly that you can't support a union!
Support your local coffee shop instead!

Another day, another egregious failure by "Trust and Safety."
Again, the best person to put in charge of Trust and Safety is a member of a marginalized community with some experience running community sites
Or perhaps Bsky should take a page from Mastodon and make ATP components easy to run

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

In my "most woke opinions" reply earlier I said one of mine is "eliminating individual countries," and I feel like that one warrants more explanation
I don't believe that arbitrary boundaries enforced by state violence, which separate people based on place of birth or ability to travel...

💯 No both sides.
No "but they're on my team."
I don't care if it's literally the entire Dem caucus.
Throw them in jail.
(This is one of the few times you'll hear me supporting a carceral approach, but the rich and powerful abusing kids because they can get away with it is absolutely one)

Also, if any Democrats are involved, throw them in jail. I don't care who it is. This isn't hard.

Metroid is a game defined by its badass protagonist and a feeling of loneliness as you explore -- again, alone -- areas filled with enemies and slowly build up your capabilities.
The last sentence here summarizes my feelings exactly.
Nintendo, why.

I'm so glad we're wasting a ton of money and terrifying the populace so the National Guard can get photo ops on Beale Street and with various local politicians.
The regime is "supporting the troops" by sending them away from their families to occupy my city 😡

Between 140 and 180 more members of the Tennessee National Guard are being deployed to Memphis, according to a person familiar with the matter.

In just a couple of hours, I'll be doing my first monthly livestream Q&A. Come pepper me with questions, possibly even questions about pepper! (I like Aleppo pepper a lot, the song Pepper is pretty good if not representative of the Butthole Surfers, Dr Pepper is great, and PPAPI sucks)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I really need to get elected to Congress so I can create a Trans Rights Caucus and exclude McBride from it.
"Oh, well, you can't be a member, since you think we're arguing too loudly for our rights, and this caucus is literally all about arguing loudly for our rights."
"Oh, well, you can't be a member, since you think we're arguing too loudly for our rights, and this caucus is literally all about arguing loudly for our rights."
Rep. Sarah McBride: "It goes both ways. A big tent is bisexual. It goes to the left and the right . And that starts with us being kind to one another, being respectful to one another and being welcoming to one another."

Another day, another example of why McBride doesn't speak for me and why I oppose her gentrified pick-me, maternalistic behavior at every turn.
The Democratic party must be the party of positive change. Fawning over Gallego and McBride isn't how we do it.

While I'm not running for a federal office (this time...) I can tell you that I wouldn't cave like Schumer and friends.
I'd use my own money to power up mutual aid networks and support systems so we can win the damn fight.
And I'm not nearly as rich as a sitting US Senator.
