Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Oof. She is just really bad at this. Her blinking and forced smile are not helping.

The things he said about intentionally not using the word, “lie” to describe Trump’s lies, as if accurately calling a lie a lie somehow diminishes the lie. It was infuriating to hear him minimize their failure to accurately describe our shared reality in that way.

His responses are irritating in the sense that he intentionally restates what you are saying, which comes across as paternalistic. At times he argues with your assessment, but in the way too many customer service reps argue these days with bad service, ultimately suggesting they couldn’t improve.

My 7th grader successfully gave the Heimlich maneuver to a classmate who was choking at lunch today at his CPS school. And a friend pointed out it was National Hero’s Day. Ice cream all around to celebrate his quick thinking, bravery, and calm strength! I legit could not be more proud. ♥️

Look at all the smiling, cheering white people in Nebraska who like the idea of a foreign adversary being invited by the President of the United States to “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego. “A small price to pay” to hurt liberals and Black and Brown people.

A photo still of Donald Trump in front of a crowd of white people, most of whom are smiling or nodding in agreement. Some of the smiling faces have been circled by a yellow highlighter photo tool.

I and others have made the observation that if you are not a current or former DC resident it's difficult to fathom the emotional toll the physical destruction of our city has been going through. And the ever present thought that even worse is to come.

I learned: "Among Prine’s classmates at Proviso East High School was Fred Hampton, two years younger than Prine. The student body numbered more than 3,000 at the time, and if the two of them interacted, no evidence of that has survived." Some little piece of poetry in this coincidence

Ta-Nehisi Coates said, ”I‘ve been very, very careful to tell people what I am qualified to talk about and what I’m not qualified to talk about.” ”No one person should be the oracle or be the articulator…be skeptical of people who attempt to appoint themselves as that. I don‘t want that job at all.”

Exactly my thought. Out of the 4 candidates, we’ve got this case re-opening, a Paul Vallas stan, and a gal who was on the CPS do not hire list after being fired. This is just exhausting and the ones who will suffer the most are CPS kids.

In 2026, the US is a country where we sign other people up to do things we don't want to do and we do not appreciate the labor of those who do the work we don't want to do. It's the conciergification of US society [without the tips].
