I’ve never worked in hospitality and food service, and even *I* know it’s the Sunday afternoon church crowd and upper middle class and above white folks that tip for shit (or not at all) on most occasions. They’re the most selfish, rude, and disrespectful folks out there.
I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

This is also why it's very sus for medical providers to use genAI and claim they can guarantee patient privacy. GenAI companies blatantly do not care about privacy or HIPPA or trust and hospitals should be honest and act accordingly
I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

This is evil. How monstrous does one have to be to do this to children?
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

related to the view among the professional commentariat that only students at ivys and boutique liberal arts colleges actually matter
This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

As a historian of medicine and public health, there are better more respectful and careful ways to tell the actual real stories of people and families destroyed by measles than making it up, and confusing people.
It’s irresponsible.
And lazy.

People would be waaaay less mad about this Atlantic piece if it was a different author.

I was so impressed with this story about measles in the Atlantic -- the depth of reporting it would take to weave in all these details so fluidly.
Turns out, it was a work of fiction. She researched the effects of measles, but lots of fiction writers do research. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/the-...

This is the worst injustice people face. A tiny group of billionaires is forcing millions into the jobs the rich want, just to grow their wealth and power. People are losing the right to do work they’re good at and love. The middle class is being wiped out on purpose. ⚠️
