I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

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.

It’s probably a typo and I was supposed to set out a minefield. But mines are horribly inhumane and none of the mimes said a word as I buried them.

There are 6 times as many librarians in the US as coal miners
There are ten times as many home health aides in the US as there are miners
right. given the numbers, “how to win back the working class” should be as much about care and service workers as hard hats. and yet.

Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job.
Anyone can become homeless.
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.
After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

Some days are a battlefield,
And Mars the God of War.
"Tiu's his name," Germanic tongues proclaimed,
And made it Tuesday, heretofore.

Tuesdays are a battlefield.
Mars was the Roman god of war.
The Germanic equivalent was Tīw or Tiu (Norse = Tyr).
This is why today is called ‘Tuesday.’
And why it’s mardi/martes/martedì in the Romance Languages.
