Left field is a lot closer than it used to be. I write and paint and pet dogs. Also @desmonddahmfabrication on instagram for now.
CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
Whelp, looks like Ed Sheeran's still got that problem ... we have reached the pick a side act in this play.
Sources of unbiased news? I've had 3 people ask me this week and this list (familiar with 45) seems pretty accurate. Suggestions welcome!
Why do I keep meeting folks who say (cringe) 'centrist dems are the future' and leave Mamdani's name hanging in conspiracy-filled air??!! They're not informed about all the GOOD THINGS NYC is up to. So, I send them here: www.nyc.gov/content/100d...

In the history-as-holiday-from-the-idiocy-abroad category, any favorite rollicking good history books? THKU. This was good.

Where the fck is Robin Hood? We're all thinking it.
A nice reminder that this has happened before and good change came with a sort of inevitability. J.D. Rockefeller's empire was broken up, labor/ anti-trust legislation got teeth and systems harmful to the people were ended and replaced by systems to support life and health. Very encouraging!

Last time anyone ravished our capitol was in 1814 by British troops fresh from fighting or being imprisoned for fighting NAPOLEON in RUSSIA in WINTER. They burned all of our national buildings but the patent office. Today's ABSOLUTE LOSERS are less strong than we are. GENERAL STRIKE! Now.
Rearranging letters is fun. Seems appropriate somehow.
Read poetry, people! Secret communiques even - can THEY even read? Let the new Neanderthals slog on through their muck, never even noticing the whiff or that the breeze has stiffened until, unaccountably, they think of lemmings. and, “Oh, weren’t they the ones who walked right off the . . .

I have literally been praying this was happening somewhere. You may be able to access this NEW YORKER article through your local library. Mine allows it. Other articles exist about this, but this made me happy. Gamers are deleting their games for hard drive space, God bless 'em.

A lot of long-serving Dems seem to be missing something... besides term limits. We need to be better.
Angry at these yahoos for making me dally in schadenfreude, BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD to see the righteous anger at the Democrats who voted to work with Trump and stop the shut down today. 2.6K comments on Dick Durban's bluesky account and 11.5K on John Fetterman's.
