Seattle in November
There’s a deli in my neighborhood that advertises itself as using “exclusively Boar’s Head meat and cheese” and every time I’m tempted to go there I see that statement and think “Nah, we have sandwiches at home.”
Boar's Head has ANOTHER Listeria infected product, and this time it's cheese. I would not trust this company again without substantial changes.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.
"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

1. You speak 18 languages; never sleep; have worked in a library for 50 years; published the definitive work on whatever the Board thinks is Most Important; salary of a billion dollars
2. You give book ($5/hour)

Is it semi-believable? Yes. It’s based on real cat behaviour, but it is absolutely AI. This is a super common trope in AI cat videos and also if you look at the “stills” closely you can tell they’re AI generated. Look at the oven, for example—why so many buttons? Why a tiny knob? 🧵(1/?)

The fact that Canada Post management would rather provide worse service and fire their workers than think about diversifying services is outrageous.
Canada Post “costs” tax dollars because that’s what taxes are for. Does anyone rly think using courier services would save individuals money? Come on.

For those who wonder what a modern postal service could look like, one example is in France, where letter carriers provide check-ins on the elderly for very affordable rates, while completing their routes.

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail."
Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

Cannot overstate how egregious it is to decide the postal service should stop delivering mail directly to people’s homes. How is “provide worse service” supposed to help solve the problem here? Esp for rural communities. This service “costs x tax dollars?” Yeah, bro—that’s what taxes are for.

If you’re like most Canadians, you don’t know that all of your parcels get delivered by Canada Post if you live in rural Canada. The big couriers don’t go there. They drop them off at the post office and letter carriers take them the rest of the way. Ending home delivery cuts them off.
