it's just extraordinary to me that the right has spent the past half a decade insisting free speech on college campuses was one of the most important issues of our time, and now they're all in favor of club-wielding thugs tackling protesters

Biden just dropped a new salary overtime rule. Over 4 million workers will now benefit from extended overtime protections. The salary threshold has been raised to $58,656 per year. Anyone making less than that and working more than 40hrs a week will now earn time and a half.

In American culture, permanently giving up a parking spot for the dead is like crying ('giving water to the dead') in Fremen culture

A math department at a major university in the US is now offering a semester long course on “game theory”.

Yes, you read that right.

We need to do better

One of the year's big blunders - created bad news cycle about Dems 'rigging' primary, suppressed turnout, cost them mayoral races, with no benefit.

(Had they just waited and let Phillips/Williamson on ballot, Biden would have steamrolled anyway.)

This!! 💯💯😎

Just listen to your frontline employees. Pay is nice but better schedules, time off and benefits plus room for advancement would make things a lot easier.

And of course time for bathroom, mental health, and meal breaks.

The numbers are unbelievable even when you already know them. Without immigration, the US would be a technologically mediocre country.
