This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old

How Swedenโs โsecondhand onlyโ shopping mall is changing retail. Built alongside the cityโs recycling centre, it includes a dedicated drop-off point called The Return, where residents donate unwanted items. theconversation.com/how-swedens-...
And he is right to be concerned. Glad Maryland election authorities aren't rolling over on this.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwoodโs Handmaidโs Tale used to come to power.

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

PANTHEON: โ.. Real consumption rose by 0.3% in July, .. but the trend still looks much weaker than last year. .. Julyโs pick-up also appears to have been driven by households bringing forward purchases of imported goods before prices respond fully to the current set of tariffs ..โ

Yep, the actual figures are on the CBP's site. But if someone believes the 2020 election was rigged, they will absolutely believe that import taxes have already raised 8 trillion. You just have to disconnect from reality and believe anything Donald says.
With with Bessentโs most optimistic projections, that would take about 27 years.
I love this guy
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nสkiโwah brother.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Thank you on this labor day!!

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you canโt get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

If you are a person who regularly donates items for food banks, please also consider adding cake mix and icing for birthday cakes and period products. Both make life infinitely nicer for folks who need something nice.

This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala. CHILDREN!
The Constitution provides Congress the power to override a Presidential veto. They arenโt co equal on law passing. Congress is the superlative body.
Another record-breaking year for tourism, but these numbers represent more than just statistics: they signify jobs, local economic growth, and lifelong memories created in the Middle of Everything. Illinois is proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.

So last night I decided to try a piece of banana bread my wife made. I immediately felt bad because I found it incredibly dry and quite bland; I didn't have the heart to tell her. Today I learned what I'd eaten was a regular piece of bread she put on top to keep everything fresh. I'm an idiot.

Heโs providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.

Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
