At your next meal, take a second to think about the people working long hours in HOT 100° temps to put food on your table. They're not just statistics. They're real people who can't avoid the heat in an air conditioned house or office. #WeFeedYou
I’ve got a bridge, see. It goes all the way from New York to New Jersey! Super low price that’ll only last until the end of this conversation, see…

This almost gave me an aneurism. I’m normally not one to get on the outlawing of sin bandwagon, but I think we’ve adequately demonstrated that unfettered use of gambling mechanics in software is harmful to us as a species. This stuff is predatory and purposefully designed to break our brains.

I make my kid’s breakfast and lunch almost every day. It’s an honor and privilege I feel very grateful for. Should I have to pay for everyone else’s kids?? Absolutely, unequivocally, one thousand percent YES. And in California, I do! No child should ever go hungry.
The Urbanist@theurbanist.org · 2w agoAfter public outcry following their vote to delay a universal school meal program, several Seattle councilmembers had a change of heart and proposed to start the program this fall after all using unspecified general fund dollars.

It would help a lot if a lot of journalists and pundits weren't using Twitter as their assignment editor, several years into its transition into Stormfront.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 2w agoIt is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Another highlight of our E3 collections: ten years of E3 Show Daily, the magazine that was handed out every day at E3. "Show dailies" might be a new concept to most people, so let's show you what was actually in these... archive.gamehistory.org/folder/ae5ac...
Having grown up in SoCal, I never trucked much with hating the Dodgers like I was supposed to as someone who likes going to the occasional SF Giants game. I get it now.
Johnny 🫧 Cowlick@jefferycowlick.bsky.social · 2w agoThe LA Dodgers gifted a personalized jersey & commemorative World Series ring to a five-time draft dodger and two-time fake president who just happens to be withholding $34 billion in California fire relief funds and $2.16 billion in California Medicaid funding. The Dodgers can go fuck themselves.

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.
Universal healthcare is literally the only solution to all this garbage. There’s no reforming the profit motive out of healthcare/insurance. The incentive structure of profit is completely antithetical to the idea of better health outcomes.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 2w agoWhen companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients. (Published Oct. 2024 with @capitolforum.bsky.social)

This is so fucking disgusting. Every single adult in this operation, from the ICE thugs to the pilots to the airstrip and its employees. Every single one of them is complicit in the imprisonment and abuse of children.

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.
Thought I’d lost this over a dozen years ago, but my wife just found it in a long forgotten box! Gotta do some research on restoration, but I’m so happy to have this back in my life 😍 Crazy thing is I’ve had the instructions and empty box for years and just couldn’t ever quite throw them out.
