David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 2h

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

yeah good point, Nicole Kidman should really be dating a normal, regular person, a random guy that has an office job for instance and maybe spends a lot of time on Bluesky. Just as an example of the kind of person she should look for.

MSG has spent thousands against me for saying this, but I won’t back down. Commercial facial recognition is creepy and dangerous. It needs to be banned.

At @nygroove.nyc, James Dolan's tenure has been shot through with a "culture of paranoia." Once MSG installed facial recognition tech, he scaled up. Now a lawsuit reveals just how far he'll go to target his perceived enemies. In Dolan's mind, he has so, so many enemies nygroove.nyc/james-dolan-...

doing this with half-dogs and mini-beers is so disrespectful to the spirit of the challenge that's all about exceeding your recommended sodium intake by 4000% while getting blind drunk that i'm inclined to say this has cost the phillies whatever mandate of heaven they may have had

This makes a lot of sense. The players have to play, but the coaches are responsible for understanding why the results are consistently turning out bad and creating a process to get out of the bad results

The New York Mets are turning over a significant part of their coaching staff, sources tell ESPN. Among those who are out: pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, hitting coaches Jeremy Barnes and Eric Chavez, and bench coach John Gibbons.

Back in July, the Trump admin sued NYC to try to end its Sanctuary City laws, citing, among other things, the "national emergency" at the border.

Today, the admin asked to "stay the entire case" and extend all deadlines because of the gov't shutdown.
