everyone forgot this! doctors and nurses got sick and died because of this theft! bsky.app/profile/cras...
crashcityrockerKushner literally stole PPE that my hospital system had bought and sent it to Florida. This is big reason why why Charlie Baker is no longer (directly) in politics. abcnews.com/amp/Health/e...

Twin Cities friends, note that Earthbound Farms is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms, and their products are carried by the food co-ops.
Chad LoderThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

Howard Bryant does a great job with this essay, especially this line: “She’s setting up her second act, and if she plays these 15 minutes right, they could last 30 years. It’s an obvious, empty grift for an obvious, empty culture.” Worth noting her Fever contract is up at this season’s end.
Mathieu M.J.E. RebeaudQuite a lot, tbh www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...

Rowling signed the Harper’s Letter, which lamented, “it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought.” Are ANY of her co-signatories — some follow me — going to speak up about her crusade against trans people?
Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICEAmnesty International correctly called out Rowling's transphobia. She threatened them in response. And @amnesty.org surrendered. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a joke, but also not a joke. Everything in this post used to be in or on a Chicago building, but now sits in the City Museum. And I'm not even getting into their Louis Sullivan collection, which is beyond belief.
Lady Topham CattThe entire Chicago Architecture Posting Guild should descend on St Louis en masse to repatriate our sacred artifacts. Many are being flaunted within a stronghold they call the City Museum.

Dude WTF? This is MY article. You can’t just copy and paste it in full. IDGAF if it has the website (Mile High Sports). You cannot just take an entire article and repost it. I’ve seen this site do this for months. It’s bullshit plagiarism.
NFL SpySean Payton is pleased with Bo Nix as training camp kicks off for the 2026 season. Not only is he happy that Nix is healthy, but where he’s at in his career to this point. If the Denver #Broncos are going to win a Super Bowl, which Payton said this team can do, they have to have good... #NFL

... oh, shit, can I use this as an opportunity to talk about Frank Miller's Ronin? Because I really wanna talk about Frank Miller's Ronin, aka "the comic that inspired the basic gist of Samurai Jack," right down to the premise of a time-flung samurai in a futuristic dystopia.
Philby BearAt least Frank Miller has the decency to be a grubby, sleazy, weirdo. We wouldn't have gotten Ronin, Born Again or Sin City, otherwise.

Embrace American Gentry Thought www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Most rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!

Oh! They’re not mad at Fauci *despite* his HIV work! They’re mad at Fauci because his HIV work stopped millions of queer people dying!
Aaron RuparSen. Ron Johnson: "Dr Fauci fear-mongered, scare-mongered just like he did with AIDS. Remember that? 'AIDS is gonna be household transmission.' No, that's not it. But he did that the same way because he's a vaccinologist."

It’s completely nuts that Trump won by less than 2M votes with near universal media help and worldwide rage at incumbents and the media treated this like a permanent sea change towards MAGA and now less than 2 years later he’s the least popular President in history and there’s no media reckoning

And again, The One Main Thing that Democrats (And Pundits Who Claim to be Interested in The Democrats and Democracy) Must Do is to... Stop. Platforming. And. Consorting. And. Agreeing. With. The. Authoritarians.
Mark CopelovitchI regret to inform you that Ezra Douthglesias is at it again I’d be surprised, but he was agreeing “birth tourism” was a thing last year & keynoting “Abundance” conferences with Chris Rufo’s boss & the “deep roots theory” guys. His cards have been on the table for a while: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
