Sen. Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth, saying "The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges" and that its leadership "are much too wedded to the billionaires and corporate interests that fund their campaigns."

a meme featuring philomena cunk of Cunk on Earth, titled CUNC ON DUNC (in the DUNC/DUNE font) and her standing in the desert, saying: 

In response to his son's concern over the transfer of Arrakis to the House of Atreides, the Duke Leto told his son that "the first step in evading a trap is knowing of it's existence."
Unfortunately for the Duke, he forgot the second step
Which is to actually evade the trap

that’s right. there is a lot of very good evidence that americans are just as productive with a four-day work week and much happier to boot. what’s the point of having such a wealth society if we are not going to try to benefit from it?

His proposal would pare down the workweek over a four-year period. The 40-hour workweek has stood as the standard in the U.S. since it became enshrined in federal law in 1940.

this is a good reminder that when people complain about DEI and “merit,” they don’t mean “evaluating who is the optimal person for the job” they mean “determining who deserves the prestige that comes with the position,” where their preferred answer is always “someone white and preferably my child”

TV Guide cover. We have bold text across the top reading "TV GUIDE" and down the left hand side is the title story: "STNG'S Patrick Stewart
THE CAPTAIN LETS HIS HAIR DOWN." 
Pictured just beside is the wonderful and bald Patrick Stewart with a cutie patoodie smile. He's wearing a white T-shirt under a black leather vest. Sir Patrick is holding his arms up overtop and resting them on his head, with one hand clasped around the others wrist. It's a real casual, cool boi pose. His biceps look swol, as the hip kids would say. Also I'm not certain but I think his brown pants are pleated, which really dates this to the mid/late 90s. 
The remaining text reads, "PLUS: X-FILES, ODYSSEY, BABYLON 5 and TV'S SCI-FI EXPLOSION."
