A screenshot from the movie 'Glengarry Glen Ross.' Alec Baldwin, dressed in a suit as Blake, stands in front of a chalkboard. The screenshot has been poorly edited to say "always bring coffee" rather than the more well-known "always be closing."

Reading this was like a glass of cold water to the face. Thank you for offering such thoughtful and honest advice. I was not the letter writer, but I needed to hear this, too

And on the other end they want you to use AI to crunch the data, a different AI to author the paper, and yet another AI to 'peer review' it. So by the end there's no scientific discovery, no dissemination of knowledge, just the world's stupidest game of hallucinogenic telephone.

This Day in Labor History: September 19, 1945. 24 fired female employees of the Lindstrom Tool and Toy Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut picketed outside the factory in protest of their firing to replace with returning men. Let's tell the often untold story of women workers in World War II!

how about some good news: new cat just dropped!!!!
a photo of a small, spotted wild cat, with orange fur and brown circular markings, staring up with big golden eyes.Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.

Can't say it enuff: Every leftist politician should Xerox Mayor Mamdani's direct-to-the-people model, speak DIRECTLY to the constituency about the good they're doing, ignore the billionaire-captured filter of legacy media, & reduce those people to impotent hecklers forever reacting never directing.

"There’s a “Siri Recap” feature that’s designed to help you remember key moments from daily conversations. It uses ambient listening to take high-level notes of your conversations, like takeaways from a team meeting or a parent-teacher conference." I'm so fucking tired of this shit.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

I'm sorry to poison Dolly's memory with this transition here but it's something I saw yesterday and just severely depressed me. I know it's nothing new. I know this is exactly how the right thinks. But it's nevertheless illuminating to see it spelled out so plainly.

Big Walk is so good so far
My POV in the co-op game Big Walk. I can see a red, somewhat humanoid character sitting in a chair lift next to me, holding a walker talkie. The character has large eyes and no mouth. We are riding over a tree and rock filled valley with the sun setting over the ocean in the distance.

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

About a month ago I got a newsletter from The Capitol Ledger, which was exactly this but in Connecticut. It was unsolicited and I unsubscribed immediately once I realized what it was
A screenshot from the subscription landing page for The Capitol Ledger. The text reads: "The Capitol Ledger delivers analysis of Connecticut policy, government, and politics because the record matters. Over 101,000 subscribers." The reader is invited to add their email address to subscribe, as the Substack is private and subscription is required to view posts.
