Honestly though, the bellyaching is really not becoming, especially since there are tools built into Bluesky already, including the ability to not allow quote posts and the ability to tailor who can reply to a post.
Scab.
That's not just increasing productivity to revising a job title from a lawyer writing on their own to supervising a hivemind. If I'm a lawyer, this is a drastic escalation of my duties. If this is not accompanied by increases in pay and title, why should I go with it?
"Enabling labor lawyers to be more productive" = speedup, and if anybody knows what that means it's labor lawyers
"I understand anger here — on behalf of the Black artists being hit with that word, on behalf of the disability community feeling villainized and misunderstood. And I think that any anger needs to be directed at BAFTA and the BBC."

I'm thinking about something like Mattress Mack's use of sports-based promotions and gambling hedges. You could easily tank one quarterly reported figure (delaying receivables, for example) and gamble on the under.
We're going from worrying about gambling addiction to 2008 derivatives market meltdown pretty quickly here
This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

My example of this: Starmer has had nothing of note to say about Northern Ireland, except very stupid quotes and gestures toward Unionism --a betrayal of actual Labour fraternal relations with SDLP, but I it makes the English feel like they're still atop some racial hierarchy.
As an American watching UK elections since the Scottish independence referendum: devolution in the periphery made various nationalist parties more serious, while the ruling parties (whether Tory or Labour) slid into the role of de facto English nationalist party who don't have to deliver anything.
... and since everyone is talking about our beloved Daily News this evening, two friendly notes:
- The front page of a tabloid isn't called "Page 1," it's called "The Wood"
- Mamdani's team didn't nail the old Daily News Gothic font (the Roman hed font) nor Tempo (the italic dek font)

Do you believe ? Loooong range models show NYC in the 60s about a dozen days from now. Book that pedicure. I give it. 30% chance of happening but it’s fun to dream.

12,000 federally subsidized homes are 12,000 federally regulated homes. Better read the damn fine print because I actually don't want fascist barracks in my backyard (or anywhere).

After seeing what Trump's ideologues at USDOT have done to multiple transportation projects, I must question the wisdom of this.
And yeah, a bunch of hard hats endorse this; the hard hats would build death camps in Central Park as long as they got no-show jobs.
