- I did this job before it was unionized, and I'm unsurprised Space Needle is eliminating the position rather than negotiate. The company would rather lose revenue than let any union get a contract if preventable.
- It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption” What are we even doing?
- Fawning before power.
- A day after NYT inches toward holding Israel responsible for healthcare workers, blatant Trump corruption is papered over with absolutely nonsensical fig leaves to surpass even Scotus's licensing presidential kleptocracy.
- TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

- Warehouse. Carter hadn't been a farmer for years but was a peanut warehouser.
- AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

- Never advise any confrontations with authority you haven't tried yourself first. It can get people killed.
- YOU DON'T CAUSE THEM ANY HEADACHE this way, and IT IS NOT SAFE TO DO SO. Your other gobbledegook about non-interference is nonsensical.

- Oh, we're GIVEN the right. Where? It's not 2016 anymore. Don't offer blithe advice to get others hurt, please. Do feel free to share how it goes after you've tried it first. Love to see your police report on Ice behavior.

- I miss my Yashica-D, big square negatives of perfect focus. But instead of squeezing out a 13th image for my expensive habit I now can shoot hundreds on a charge, tho I prefer a point and shoot with a big sensor to a DSLR.

- In no way relatedly, I read yesterday that DeForest Kelley got cast in Star Trek after spending an exorbitant $35 on a JFK-style haircut from Jay Sebring, and immediately imagined Emile Hirsch cutting his hair, because that's who played Sebring in Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood.

- I heard Bill Mumy mentioned on a podcast yesterday, and saw him in a documentary film clip, and now this. 60–70 years after his 15 Warholian minutes he's still a central touchstone.

- NDP's more popular than ever, but Canadians are showing a united front against Trump. NDP's vote share went from 7+% in 2021 to 8+% this time, even though they're losing 10 seats.

- If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from reporting on the current DOGE collection of govt data, it is that the people who’ve previously spent their careers carefully handling this information believe there is almost no limit to how it could be abused (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
- The healthcare workers of 1199SEIU proudly endorse Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of New York City. #linkinbio for our full statement: digital.1199seiu.org/3YOW89f
- 1199 has inched toward the sewers but now has crawled in. What a disgrace.

- Yes, and especially sketchy is that, officially, the accident--a schoolbus hitting her at 110 km/h, she wrote--had no injuries.
- How is it every news outlet isn't reporting this in the context that she was gravely injured in a road accident the police said had no injuries, and that she posted on IG that she was about to die of renal failure? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
- Horribly, tragically awful.
- I agree.

- Yes. Never let Seth Abramson define an issue for anyone.
- Yes. No need to fake what's not there.
- It’s time to pull the plug substack.com/@jimacosta/n...
- Yup
- Lots of speculation as always from S.A.
- Political fanaticism proves incompatible with reading over one's work.
- Yes, we must, but the social infrastructure required to implement such a strategy might not be something the US working class could achieve, or even support. Gonna take immense organizing energy by groups even moderate right-wingers trust. How? I wish I knew.
- !!!!!!!!
- Disppeared
- NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

- The Romans crucified Jesus without due process. So why should we give due process to immigrants?

- These are all myths. The comprehensive Roman censuses show this fictional character almost certainly never existed, which is probably why Luke embellished his version with the ridiculous detail that his family was in the process of showing up for a census (in a year when there wasn't one).

- Says the version of the Romans, who carried out the execution, leading to millennia of retribution against Jews for the Roman murder of a Jew.
- [Not loaded yet]
- No, the execution was, according to these myths, carried out entirely by the occupation authorities.
- Glad this worst case is not now the case. Mr. Abramson learns much, concludes more, consistently.
- This user blocks the quoter.I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court. But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long. Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

- She had a sex life. They stuck a needle in her eye socket and swished around her brain until she was incapacitated, a lobotomy.
