There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Abolish ICE.

Worker safety agency NIOSH lays off most remaining staff
Laid-off employees ranged from those working in firefighter health programs, to those approving new respirators.

I work in industrial ceramics manufacturing. My plant also produces cast iron and glass.
Without well-managed air filtration and access to NIOSH approved respirators and dust masks, workers like me will be at increased risk of lung conditions like silicosis & mesothelioma, and other organ damage.

It's fun when it's coming from my music player. I don't need it in an email from a shoe store I visit twice a year max.

Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Philip DeFranco calling cowboy boots "manly heels" on his podcast with Alex Perlman gave me a good chuckle.
They really are just kitten heels for men. 1.5" or so, maybe 2" if you're feeling nasty.

This, and just as a general note - LLM chats (yes, including yours) are in no way secure. Claims to the contrary are bullshit and hype.
Yet another reason to block LLMs apps you don't explicitly authorize in the enterprise. Threat actors using malvertising to drive victims to shared chats with malicious instructions.

Tax the rich. Tax the corporations. Tax the churches.
For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system?
People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.
