As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis
Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

![4-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1: Some people like to be the big spoon. (2) PERSON 1: Some people like to be the little spoon. (3) [two sets of spoons that don’t lay flat against each other, one arranged with the little one on top of the big one, the other with the big spoon on top of the little spoon] PERSON 1: And some brave truth-tellers point out that the metaphor makes no sense because different-sized spoons don’t nest right *either* way. You nest *same*-sized spoons. (4) PERSON: ...And apparently *we* sleep on the couch. PERSON 2 off-screen: Why are you *still* going on about the spoon thing?

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

this literally made me tear up a little, it’s nice to be reminded that some people out there do care still 🥹
So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...
When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

If you have ‘dibs’ on something, you claim or declare rights to that thing before anyone else.
‘Dibs’ comes from an old children's game called ‘dibstones,’ which resembled the game of jacks.
