"And just remember, the guy who is willing to say shit out loud, even when no one believes them, is most likely THE ONLY person willing to put their body on the line FOR YOU. Men aren’t going to do it. So fucking value us."

IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?

This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

there's plenty of restaurants in this town, but the owner of the sandwich shop downtown hates me, says he's gonna kill me, and has a sign up on the wall saying that 5 cents out of every sandwich order will go towards buying bullets to shoot me with.

The human cost of South Korea's ultra-convenient overnight deliveries

Night-time deliveries are ubiquitous in hyper-connected Korea, stirring a debate about working conditions.

I cannot think of a single film critic—even famous ones with the “correct” social status—whose work is shared as much as the average racist who engages in pop culture grievance like a hobby. And don’t let the racist be exceptional in terms of money and social status. Then it’s news for months.

A detail I remember about Marvin & Natasha from the book was how they took their coffee and sat in the car together every morning, brief, quiet quality time together before another long, hard day. Devastating to hear Marvin has died so young, from a workplace accident. Please help out if you can.

Brian Goldstone@brian-goldstone.bsky.social · 2w ago

Marvin's family has now created a GofundMe to help with funeral expenses and to support Natasha and the kids in the difficult days ahead. If you're able to contribute or share the fundraiser, I'd be deeply grateful.

i have strong priors (mostly based on vibes) that Taco Bell is the best fast food restaurant for how they treat their food and their employees and those priors keep getting confirmed

Richard Mirabella is very good at writing about love, its evolutions and moon phases and blooming and fading and steady buttressing of another, and this story is no exception. 💟

Taco Bell: Keep Records Más

In 2016, San Antonio cop Matthew Luckhurst was fired after giving a homeless man a sandwich filled with feces. Last month, he became police chief in Benavides, Texas.

Fantastic documentary. THE ONE THING that the residents kept asking for was to be included, in decisions about relocating unhoused people, as they had the knowledge and solutions. But repeatedly, they were not included, and the city’s shit solutions now sit abandoned after only 3 yrs.

Remember the guy who hooked up with his date, stole her Tabis and gave them to HIS GIRLFRIEND, the date posted about it, found the gf and DM’d her, got the shoes back, and he asked her to take the post down, lol simpler times

When @andreagrimes.com pitched this week's piece about loving ugly shoes, we started talking about tabis and how controversial they are. What do y'all think? Are they ugly or cute?

everyone should have a trained dog in their home that loves them and gives them cuddles and if you start typing that the timing of a survivor of sexual assault coming forward is suspicious to you, the dog bites your hand.

I hope she’s surrounded by spiritually and physically protective people.

compare the pod save bros *having Platner on their show* to the vicious way Jon F characterized Darializa Chevalier after her win.

Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · 4w ago

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity

Very useful list

A large number of prominent figures have endorsed Platner. Eric Swalwell's campaign for #CAGov imploded after his top backers all quickly rescinded their support following sexual assault allegations. Something similar could happen here.

A world-famous doctor could die in prison and there are no consequences to the genocidal regime doing this

Megaphone News@megaphone.news · last mo.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) and Nasser Odeh, the lawyer representing Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, warned that his life is “in imminent danger” after visiting him in Ramla Prison.

The reason these Temu KKK losers only march for 15 minutes at a time (long enough to get their propaganda footage and generate images that a horrified public will endlessly amplify for them) is that they know that if they hung around longer, they'd quickly be outnumbered by their opposition.

Artists love when you do this. When you interrupt them talking about their work to say like "oh that reminds me of this," they love that. It encourages them enormously--oh my, other people have made things! That means I can too! You're doing them a terrific service, reducing their work like that.
