Half of us identify as LGBTQ.
2 of us are Pacific Islanders.
1 of us is African American.
I have been in business for 9 years.
My lowest paid employee makes $23/hr.
We are thriving.

When they tell you you can't build a business model that looks like this, they're lying to you.

Chicago’s Wiener Circle hot dog stand never fails with its signage. (The dogs are pretty good too.)

It’s time for some sleep

Goodnight my dear friends ❤️

the studios let the strike go for months and lost more money than what the WGA is asking (and then spent even more on PR firms fighting the strike)

12k people could get livable careers for AN INCREDIBLY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PROFITS WE MAKE THEM but that would mean less yachts for them so

when you have no new tv this fall remember who is actually to blame

Tech is NOT neutral nor apolitical…just a bunch of mediocre, unremarkable white tech dude who’re too lazy and ill-equipped to do the REAL WORK despite being lauded, as the most innovative, geniuses “of our generation”

Bill Bragg Answers a Divisive Song With a Song of His Own

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich, not the poor.

The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year.

The United States literally has a yacht tax deduction.

Hello?

Of course....

We have all heard the term "No one is above the law." Well Fulton County DA Fani Willis FINALLY showed us what that means with her handling of the case against Trump, Giuliani, Mark Meadows and all the defendants. No special treatment!

Hello, Mastodon! I’m an astrophysicist at the University of Exeter. I work on applying astrophysical methods to understanding the ecological impacts of artificial light at night #ALAN. I’m also currently working on stellar characterisation.

As The Bad Place is becoming increasingly hostile, I’m trying to share what we're working on a little more widely, so please do follow-along if you are interested in light pollution, (astro)physics, or the life of a researcher at #Exeter. 🙂

The man who called to execute 5 innocent Black & Latino kids is now himself indicted, arrested, and disgraced—while the kids he tried to condemn are instead exonerated, respected, and embraced.

Just wanted to put that in writing.

I don't know which of my facts pushed them over the edge, but I sure hope it was this one.

Not to brag but it turns out I'm really good at American History

Sad news that guitarist Bernie Marsden has died.

Our paths crossed briefly in 1978, the year that Whitesnake, the band he’s most closely associated with, formed.

A short thread.

@rbreich The rich are rich because of the surplus labour of others. I think that is vastly more relevant to the accusation of freeloading than "they don't pay taxes."

As the saying goes: when a man says he got rich off of hard work, ask him whose.

I suck at chess, but dang it! I want this set!!
