DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Post a comic cover you love.
Cover of Superman comic book #23.  The title "SUPERMAN" appears at the top in large, 3D red block letters against a blue background. The main scene is viewed as if looking through a submarine periscope, showing Superman swimming through churning ocean waters near a sinking warship pouring dark smoke. In the foreground, two startled Nazi officers wearing caps and armbands bearing swastikas look on in shock and panic as Superman approaches.

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

QTP with a game that made you a gamer in your childhood! I may be too old for this QTP.
Mattel’s Electronic Football 2.  It was a handheld LED game released in 1978 featuring a bright red display where dashes represented players, and it notably introduced the ability to run backwards and throw forward passes.
