convo on how college fanbases do or do not claim pro QBs: Georgia fans do not fuck with Matt Stafford as much as you'd expect, considering he was a #1 pick and won a Super Bowl. i forget he's ours even though he was *my* college QB!

$340 Million Anti-Labor Consulting Industry Is Behind Contemporary Union-Busting

Steven Greenhouse

Feb 7

There's an encouraging spike in unionization activity, but those efforts are unfortunately facing nonstop resistance from a union-busting industry with revenues of at least $340 million a year. truthout.org/articles/340-m

@truthout

Union-busting firms are teaching corporations to cynically co-opt progressive rhetoric as they crush worker organizing.

is this something you can look into. kind of a bad user experience.

Are there people who like this flooring? Or is it exclusively chosen by landlords and house flippers and Airbnb hosts who will never have to look at it? To me it is just objectively hideous, even though I know that's not a thing.

i did think for a minute about how to make this recommendation into a joke in some way before i tweeted it but decided to play it straight

went to the Hopper exhibit at the Whitney this weekend and really enjoyed it, you should go if you're into that sort of thing and will be in NY before it closes in a month

I think comments like this (from the Dallas Fed Survey of retailers) are so funny. The last stimulus check was in March 2021! Enhanced unemployment benefits ended two years ago! The Child Tax Credit has expired! You are not competing with new government transfer programs!

trade groups like the National Restaurant Association are extraordinarily influential, and not only are they under-covered, but journalists tend to cite their representatives and industry reports/data like those of dispassionate third parties

At a gathering of the National Restaurant Association’s legal arm, lawyers and executives grappled with a worker uprising.

this is the version of my thoughts on this story that won't get me banned from this website

can't see any good reason that doctors and nurses who collude with insurance companies on cost-saving efforts to deny lifesaving treatment to patients they've never examined—or even spoken to—should get to keep their professional licenses

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked, the insurance giant decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for...

most people know what the good, fair choices are in most social situations. a lot of confusion is feigned—someone is looking for permission to be kind of a dick. we all wanna be a dick sometimes. that's the human condition.

My Printer Is Extorting Me

I solved my HP Instant Ink problem by keeping my printer unplugged through a software update deadline, the passing of which meant my printer still worked but could not communicate with the subscription service. I felt a genuine sense of victory.

Why Does It Feel Like Amazon Is Making Itself Worse?

Jan 31

i was sure this was a fluke and so i did it a second time and yielded the same result

here's a thing i just learned: if you bite into a pickled green bean while eating your desk lunch, it turns into a quasi gun that shoots pickling liquid at your laptop screen, with the bean itself as the barrel

156

If you know it's all the same stuff with wildly different and therefore meaningless ratings, but ratings have feel like the only way to make a decision in these consumer systems...what happens then? Is it the "Amazon Hack" tiktoks/reels we see now? Probably. Which also feels bad!

The abundance that Amazon promises is, in a very real sense, a myth—hundreds of listings for the exact same acrylic storage container, bought wholesale and then listed by endless different sellers, don't yield any meaningful expansion in consumer choice. And most of it is shit.

362

Something that's undersold in this, I think, is just how often these endless listings are for *literally the same thing*. A spatula with 10k reviews and a 4.5 and a spatula with 527 reviews and a 4.9 will yield the exact same actual object in your home

nymag.com

The “everything store” has gotten junkier and more chaotic. But, for the company, it’s only good business.

The GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of food eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children. In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help.

Is Georgia's two-year run the greatest ever? Connelly ranks the 10 best of the past 50 years

Nick Saban never put together a two-year run of dominance like what we just saw from Kirby Smart and Georgia. It’s possible no one has.

The Bulldogs' 29-1 stretch over the past two seasons is nearly unprecedented in college football history. Here's how it stacks up.
