If you buy STARBUCKS coffee, please stop! Starbucks workers have been jerked around by the company for many years and are calling for a BOYCOTT. If you don’t buy Starbucks and / or don’t like their coffee, like me, cool cool cool but no need to comment please. Just spread the word. Thank you!

Google set the standard for web search and now they seem determined to run it onto the ground. I'm not a business pervert so explain to me what drives a company with near-total market capture to "improve" all the useful features out of their product until it sucks?

do not install any app from Facebook or Meta on any device. Ideally avoid installing ANY social media app. Login through a browser. I highly doubt Facebook is the only company pulling this shit www.zeropartydata.es/p/localhost-...

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion.

You just can't finish off Zuckerberg.

Apparently, because it’s 2020 again, I need to start a thread on police violence targeting journalists in the US. So, here we go: 1. Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by police officer with less lethal munition. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFJ...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

In spite of the rain, *thousands* of people showed up today to the Hands Off Rally @ the Columbus, OH statehouse. Saw grandparents, students, and everyone in between pushing back against recent executive actions. "This is what Democracy looks like." "No hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here."

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Elon Musk is developing a new payment platform called “X Money.” Guess which agency would be making sure that Elon’s new project couldn’t scam you or steal your sensitive personal data? The CFPB.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Back in 2018 RiffTrax did two live shows at the Prince Charles and had such a great time. We love the theater and the people who run it. Save this gem!

I logged into Facebook today to brainlessly funnel AI slop into my eyeballs, and when I did, out of hundreds of posts, saw zero pertaining to US inauguration. (If my friends made any, they did not reach my feed.) On here, everyone discussing it. Hmm.

BIG WIN: If you or a loved one have asthma, you may see the price of your inhaler go down. I’ve sounded the alarm about companies like Teva rigging the patent system to keep the price of inhalers high. The FTC is fighting to bring your health care costs down, and winning.

USPS is a *service.* It offers flat-rate shipping to every address in the continental US and covers the last leg of rural deliveries for private companies for whom those routes are not profitable. "Losses" are driven by unusual pension requirements not imposed on other agencies.
