If unions are so bad why is it always your boss telling you that?
Lead with kindness. Old enough that there was a time when Joe Foy was my favorite player.

Jim Beam is shutting down its distillery for 2026. They blame a "glut" on the market even though the industry produced 55 million less gallons this year than last.
Some glut.
People aren't buying MAGA whiskey.
Score another one for the Canadian boycott.

I love this quote from the speech "A Chance For Peace." I love that it is literally etched in stone at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene KS. If you happen to be driving by on I-70 it is worth your time to stop in and see it.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Another 24 hour Kavanaugh stop. Hmmm.
ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia.
They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab.
She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab”
She was held for 24 hours.
A US citizen. No one is safe.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

According to this Supreme Court:
❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot
✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps
✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones
The only consistency is white supremacy.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Trump ran just to stay out of prison. He likes the pomp and pageantry of being president.
That's the most important thing to him.
He doesn't really give a fuck about all the damage the underlings are doing because they insulate him from it.

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
