This year's midterm US elections are not "business as usual". They're a critical step toward stopping the authoritarian takeover of our country and our state. If you've never voted before, here's a good guide to getting started. voices4democracyindiana.substack.com/p/how-to-vot...

#StopFlock of greater Lafayette reportedly had a great time at the last Mosey Down Main of the summer, in #Lafayette. "Turns out it's super-easy to get people to stop and talk shit about Flock! We easily filled up my paper petition sheets in less than 45 minutes, and passed out 100+ flyers." 🧵/4

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use union-busting laws to further exploit workers 5) Rinse and repeat How we break this cycle? Build back a powerful labor movement.

Webcomic showing Joe Rogan interviewing a cat on his (Joe Rogan's) podcast.

ROGAN: "So you're saying you've never been fed?"

CAT: (with a half-eaten tin of food on the table nearby, and food scattered on their face) That's right Joe. I've never been fed in my entire whole life.

ROGAN: (genuinely shocked expression) Wow.

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows a bone. The bone says, "I make stem cells!"
Panel two shows a pancreas. The pancreas says, "I make insulin!"
Panel three shows the bone and pancreas and now a brain. The brain says "I make scenarios!"
Panel four shows the bone, pancreas, and brain. The brain is on fire.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather books who’d also adapted them to film, had no idea what he was doing as he’d never written a screenplay before. After winning two Oscars, he decided to buy a book on screenwriting to learn how. In the first chapter, it said, 'Study Godfather I.'

The human brain, with 86 billion neurons and a million billion connections between them, runs on 20 watts, less than a lightbulb. Think we may be going down the wrong road believing data centres, needing megawatts or gigawatts of power, with all the environmental & climate costs, are the way to go.
