The Mississippi miracle keeps coming up with conservative prognosticators. When I look at scores of 3rd grade vs 8th grade it doesn’t look as impressive. 8th grade scores have stagnated more or less since 98. Am I missing something? #edusky

We didn’t need all these biographical Willy Wonka movies about who he is as a person. In the older versions, he’s obviously God or the Devil. You’re supposed to spend the entire story wondering which one and gradually become worried they’re the same being

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

I’ve run the numbers, I’m saving.
$400 Gaggia classic pro
$300 sette 270 grinder
$300 Gaggiuino upgrades =$1000
I make a minimum of 60 espresso shots a month and spend $60/month on coffee.
At shop 60 shots * $4/shot = $240
I save $180 per month. In 6 months I’m in black.

the fun thing about home espresso brewing is it will absolutely not save you money, especially if you are the kind of person who tends to become obsessive about technical details

The Detroit Scarefest was the socialist fair I've always wanted. It's free to get in. All rides and attractions are free. Workers come around and give you free candy. Yes, there are long lines, but you have to prioritize what you want to do. No one gets to skip ahead. Everyone is equal.

Waiting in line is part of the fair / amusement park experience. Fast pass shouldn’t exist. You shouldn’t be able to buy your way out of waiting.

I don’t make it out to concerts as much as I would like, but seeing Texas is the reason, Ted Leo, and Slow Joy last night was the joy I needed.
I bought my Texas is the reason LP in high school so to finally see them 25 years later was a bucket list goal accomplished.

And in said fight club my 8yo daughter bodied a 10yo boy.

Fine. If you’re going to make Labor Day not on May Day, then we just need to celebrate two labor days.
I used to mix up which holiday was Labor Day and which one was Memorial Day until @perchperchson.bsky.social taught me his mnemonic device, which is precisely what Kaitlin says here, that Labor Day was moved far from May Day to sanitize its radical labor roots.
Every Labor Day I remember that the holiday was moved from May 1 to September not only for the Haymarket attacks but to break up the possibility between the US and the international labor movement (which celebrates in May). And it worked!

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
