Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

It strikes me that both real journalism and our legislative branch do not work under emergency speed. It takes seconds to tear something down and hours, days, or weeks to respond effectively.

I fear the damage done to our country in such a short time will take decades to repair.

Canadian Ambassador was on fire yesterday on NPR. Camly laying down facts. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/30/nx-s1-5277019/kirsten-hillman-canadas-ambassador-to-the-u-s-discusses-trumps-approach . This one in particular struck me:

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

I don’t want to hear a word about fentanyl coming “over the border” ever again, but I know that’s too much to ask.

On a light note... this was the size of the rice that came with my curry. We were comically dividing this between the 4 of us.

Our good friends Val and Kenzie lost their home in Altadena as part of the fires. Along with their two kids and dog they are safe, but will have a long road ahead. Any help you could throw their way, if you have the means, would be appreciated.

Alright trying out this cross posting using an app. I generally like the Threads community, but the whole billionaires spoiling our fun seems to be leaking over there. So let's see how posting everywhere works for now.

This past weekend a friend who is a pilot took me up on a flight. It was nice break from it all... and the sunset didn't suck either. Second picture is Lowell, MA

Does anyone else hear the NES Spy Hunter theme whenever you drive by a parked empty truck with ramps leading down? Or is that just me? #needSomeOilSlick

Are there any tricks as to how to find your people on here beyond going through all the other apps and trying to figure out when people mentioned they were moving on her?e
