Steve sounds like a real one. May he rest in peace, having made the world a slightly better place.

I just looked it up, and he’s from fucking everywhere. Born in California, lived in NZ briefly, lived in North Carolina, Connecticut, Hawaii, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Didn’t see Iowa anywhere on the list

Capybaras’ eyes, ears, and nose are all perched high on their heads, allowing them to stay mostly submerged with just the crowns sticking out like periscopes

Sir @badposting is that way

The driving over pylons bit from the thumbnail is around 4:50 fyi

Blindspotting

And a neoliberal interpretation of the guardian angels

Florida minimum wage: $12

$165 meal ÷ $12/hr = 13.75 hours worked to pay for one family meal (pretax)

Kinda feel bad for the op tbh. That’s what western education gets you. Basically gotta become a librarian to unpack the propaganda

The day was described by social movement researchers as “the largest protest event in human history”.

Scrolled through a week of jbp tweets and didn’t see this anywhere (should be fresh). Didn’t see it in Elmo’s post either. I’m calling shenanigans

Me n the Orcs enjoying a cheap car challenge

As a sometimes i see pictures of meat that look good and I feel conflicted. This is not one of those times 🤮

Kinda fucked up that the people of Oregon voted to decriminalize drug usage in the state, and 4 years later, the governor/legislature decides “no actually, you didn’t vote for that” and scraps the law

Relevant parts:

Despite cereal being offered as a cost-saving way to eat, Lopez didn’t mention that leading cereal maker Kellogg’s has been singled out for price-gouging—raising its price per unit 17% in 2023, far above the inflation rate, thereby boosting the company’s profits in 2023 by a whopping 540% (Quartz, 2/27/24).

But “profits” is a word you won’t find in Lopez’s column. Corporate greed (FAIR.org, 4/21/22, 6/1/23; CounterSpin, 2/9/24) is conspicuously missing from his list of reasons that prices go up:

“Inflation is tied to rising labor costs, continued post-pandemic supply chain interruptions, avian flu and the impact of extreme weather—heat waves, wildfires and flooding—on global food production.”

Rather than suggesting that consumers fill up on excess profits, Lopez could have encouraged his readers to participate in the upcoming three-month boycott of Kellogg’s products—organized under the hashtag #LetThemEatCereal

Still the only episode of Buffy I never watched, “once more, with feeling” where Sunnydale is infected with a disease that makes everyone sing their feelings
