Tesla getting owned by Swedish workers isn’t the story.

The story is that 90% of the Swedish workers belong to a union

And only around 11% of American workers belong to a union

The story is the message

What the Swedes have done by blocking delivery of Teslas will reverberate worldwide with workers showing the power of collective action.

One of the weirdest things in the US is that Supreme Court Justices only need 51 of 100 Senate votes to be put into a lifetime position — earned or not — but officers in the military need 100 of 100 votes to get a promotion that they earned and one nut job senator can prevent the promotion. That's a broken rule that should be changed.

Chuvash State Opera and Ballet Theatre. biggest contrast i've ever seen between a building's architecture and purpose. I think it's a funny bit to represent the grace and elegance of ballet and opera by dropping down a giant slab of concrete. 📸Oleg Konstantinov

Doesn't seem that tough!

"Responding to Baldes’ question about why people call him and his group Nazis, Kauffmann said, 'This one is tough, you know, because swastikas and stuff are pretty much the reason.'”

Hitler attempted a failed coup
Hitler then had a trial
Hitler then went to jail
Hitler then got out and became Chancellor

History repeats itself.

We laugh and clown on Trump but he is dangerous as fuck. He has zero empathy, a need for power and an extremely loyal and angry base.

Kevin McCarthy just found out in the hardest way possible that Nancy Pelosi only made it look easy.
@confusedbytheBasics Thank you so much for those details! I really like the idea of buying in bulk and experimenting—I’ll be doing that!

I just cooked dry beans in my instant pot for the first time this evening! (Well, technically, black-eyed peas).

It was super simple, came out a touch mushy though! This was with 8 minutes of pressure cooking and sitting until depressurization occurred. Do you have a heuristic on cook time?

MEET THE BILLIONAIRES

Two Texas brothers whose fortunes derive from oil and gas fracking have pumped millions of dollars into rightwing media outfits that have promoted climate-crisis denialism and sent more big checks to back an array of evangelical projects and conservative Texas politicians.

The fracking billionaires Farris and Dan Wilks have each doled out millions of dollars.
