LEAKED ENDING TO GRRM's ASoIaF:

Tyrion stood and looked around, catching each in the eye. "There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story." He explained. "Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. And who has a better story than Darkstar for he is of the night?"

Consider this: I am employed but it's still quite difficult to pay my rent. I will never own a house.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Comically low economic approval during record low unemployment, and well after inflation peaks, just goes to show how much “the economy” is just a narrative constructed by media and memes, and the utter futility of running on it into that negative media headwind

Nah it doesn't make sense at all. They should be paid more.

[Petty LaBelle @PickleMamaa]

so….all the other deep shit aside….yall really think $25/hr for Waffle House employees makes sense?

NEW from LCRW: A Tualatin, OR middle school is the latest to get targeted by a bomb threat after an anti-trans outrage campaign got drummed up against it. And everyone's least-favorite grifter appears to be one of the main boosters of the campaign. https://t.co/EmG0CYMF54

⛑FLOOD SAFETY:

⚠️Do NOT walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. Even if it doesn't look bad.

🛑6 inches of fast moving water can knock a person over.

‼️One foot of flood water can carry off an *entire car*.

(And for the love of god, 🚫DON'T ORDER DELIVERY IN A FLOOD🚫)

Guys I got 4 invite codes to b l u e s k y.

Pls take them from me. They're accruing.

Like it cannot be stated enough that Target is a deeply unpleasant place to find yourself in. It's stocked like it's a front for organized crime.

[@localareanewsie.bsky.social @LocalAreaNewsie]

A big reason I don't go to Target despite one being within a five minute walk is that they lock their deodorant behind glass & do not staff enough people to get it unlocked within a 10 minute timeframe. So I go to Rite Aid, where they allow you to get the deodorant yourself.

@hereticalshrew I've had hardboiled eggs that were boiled for the correct amount of time. They are not good!!!

[@localareanewsie.bsky.social @LocalAreaNewsie]

As long as hardboiled doesn't win (hardboiled eggs are austerity and the working class deserves more)

The organizers of Trump's scab event, the National Right to Work Foundation, are also working with Starbucks to try to decertify our unions. Starbucks -- which has spent most of its 50-year history pretending to be progressive -- is, once again, in lockstep with Trump.

[Worker’s Spatula 🐟 @WorkersSpatula1]

listen honestly it's great if you're getting deeper into left politics through social media and we're all happy to see you here but if you aren't persistently involved in some sort of real world organisational work that's a problem and it has to change

[David Polansky @polanskydj]

This is exactly backwards — the American dream was never predicated on credentialization until recently. The better goal here is not to make higher education “affordable” but to decouple it from middle class aspirations entirely.

Zenith Energy is under investigation for potential lobbying violations after it held private meetings with public officials last summer. The Portland auditor's office did not offer a timeline but confirmed the investigation is ongoing.
