Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.

How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).

And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

“You have a clearly paranoid, hypersensitive, I would say egomaniacal rich guy who doesn’t like people being critical of him.” — CNN’s @JohnKingCNN@twitter.com on guess who.

Looks like lots of new people!
HELLO!!!! 👋👋
Come in, make your self at home.
Follow people, boost stuff you like... but mainly have fun.
💜
Ps. This is not Twitter. Embrace the change.

At least he is using the crosswalk at the light! 😉

Replika isn't even hiding it anymore. Full on cringe.

Yup

I wonder whether K. Thor is an #elonmusk fan. It’s hard to know for sure.

today's #cooking projects may include two firsts: homemade pigs in a blanket (with my own dough and everything) as well as airfried crabless crab rangoons (which is going to be filled with primarily just cream #cheese and i have zero problem with that).

this is of course another endeavor brought to you by the good people at Using Up Whatever Ingredients I Got In The Fridge and Hey What's This In My Cupboard.

Hi! And thanks for joining me on this wild ride.

My colleague Paul Farhi wrote up the news on journalists' Twitter suspensions last night: https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/15/twitter-journalists-suspended-musk/

Twitter's owner joined us briefly on Twitter Spaces before vanishing into the night: https://twitter.com/ForeverEversley/status/1603612770892918784.

More news this morning from @rachellerman on the European Union's response: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/16/musk-journalists-suspension-europe-backlash/

My last two Washington Post stories on Elon Musk before Twitter suspended me and other journalists discussed his flirtation with QAnon and the public data about his private jet:

@ScottSoCal Another thing that I do is set up a separate "Home List" and switch back and forth between the standard Home screen or even have them both up at the same time as Pinned Lists. You can easily move folks on or off your home list whenever you want to clean up your incoming messages.

This helps me to be more engaged with my core group of folks that I like to carry on conversations with; and yet still keep in touch with everyone I'm following.

NFT trading cards. Wow.

I know we always say "there is no bottom" but even we're surprised at the new and innovating ways #Trump finds to be the most pathetic person on the planet.

Why buy any digital NFT nonsense when you can actually see me live and on stage in London, from Jan-Apr next year?

Fictional situation.

Sitting at a lesbian biker bar. Patron, "woah, that's quite a scar you have down your breast there. Fighting TERFS, Nazis?"

I chug my ice cold water and slam it down. "Baby kittens."
