Corporations will not exploit working people in NYC.
Uber Eats, Fantuan & HungryPanda broke the law — shortchanging workers while raking in profits.
Today, we secured $5M+ in restitution for 49,000 delivery workers.
Let this be a warning: steal wages, face the consequences.

Just finished my first Horror read of 2026 and it was so good!
A queer and autistic story thoughtfully done, full of love, hope and rage. And really, really scary!
Go and check out "Camp Damascus" by @chucktingle.bsky.social . 🖤
I absolutely loved it!

I am so tired of seeing all the silly takes and absurd questions about why people love Heated Rivalry. You love it because Romance, as a genre, is freaking awesome — and it's especially important for gay people, who usually have to watch TV braced for impact. bit.ly/4a2tHJT
You Love Heated Rivalry Because Romance Is Awesome, Actually
Gay people usually watch TV braced for impact — but not when it's adapted from romance novels.

I say all this with love and in the hope young creators won’t burn themselves out or feel bad they can’t emulate this, because the real secret of any artist is often their partner’s full time job (and sometimes THEY are their partner’s full-time job—or they just have rich parents, sigh)

Imagine if there was an epidemic of pubs selling alcohol to children and instead of shutting the pubs responsible the government imposed a nationwide curfew on everyone under 16.
Sitting across the Oireachtas Children's Committee on online safety for children.
Very much getting the impression that a lot of politicians are reaching for the Under-16 ban. Momentum behind that rather than a deeper understanding of platforms, algorithms and any alternative view.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.
But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.
