Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Really interesting post in r/boston about how Patriot Front is being forced to change their tactics due to opposition and having their identities exposed.

Time to buy myself a novelty license plate cover because no way in hell I’m advertising a car dealership with their freebie

Median age of homebuyers just hit a new record high of 56 (Via Torsten Slok)

it's funny how much of parenting is just like. extremely basic lifeform maintenance type shit. "eat food." "poop in the correct place." "lay down in this safe cozy bed until you fall asleep." and the child's chief overriding instinct is to shriek "NO" at all these instructions

It's elephant seal breeding season at Point Reyes National Seashore 🐘🦭

If you live in LA go to Union Station at 9AM to protest this criminal administration

before the baby was born: “and if we name her Elizabeth we could call her Liz or Lizzie or Beth” at 4am when the baby won’t sleep: “Baby Borpo. Please sleepo my Beepo. Little bitty baby Boopy.”

A BBC study just found that generative AI can't even generate news story synopses with any consistent accuracy, and here we are happily pretending it's a symmetrical replacement for education and experience

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

Are Taiwan Pizza posts a thing on BlueSky? In case you were wondering, no, that's not puke in the middle of the pizza. It's the new Beef Hot Pot Pizza from Pizza Hut.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Happy tenth birthday to a real one

I couldn't make it because I was doing errands but roughly 200 people at the #teslatakeover or #teslatakedown protests outside Tesla Sunnyvale. This is the most Tesla-owning place I know; people aren't happy Musk is tearing the copper out of the walls of our democracy.

someone just tried this

this is fucking insane

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

The entire contents of Waste.gov, the website tracking government "waste" are from a default WordPress theme about an imaginary architecture firm. Musk said yesterday DOGE is "maximally transparent" and all actions are being tracked on website: www.404media.co/elon-musks-w...

Let's start with this: hello Bluesky community. www.caltrain.com/news/caltrai...

“President Donald Trump's administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects…‘excessive focus’ on diversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal.”

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately go to sleep?

Its pretty dystopian, like something out of North Korea propaganda how Trump creates a crisis and then claims to solve it by citing policies that were already going to happen, and then media praises him in the headlines without noting that Trump changed nothing.

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

If "America" sounds like an MLM scam well that's cuz it is lol
