On this #NationalPickleDay ... they mention Mt. Olive pickles! I like Mt. Olive Kosher Dills and the Mt. Olive Bread and Butter pickles. They come in spears (dill), chips (bread and butter), and Sandwich Stuffers! (both dill and bread and butter)
Today is National Pickle Day! Celebrate with dill-licious deals, chef picks and more

The rich are killing our planet. Another reason to despise them:
“Pop quiz: how much larger is the carbon footprint of a person in the top one per cent of earners in the US compared to someone in the bottom 50%? The somewhat depressing answer: on average, it’s 1,388 times bigger. This means that, despite being outnumbered by 167 million people, the wealthy are still responsible for 30 times more emissions overall (a total of 269 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent).”

In case folks missed it in a previous post conversation, @CoSoTips has this pic pinned that shares the privacy//security differences b/t social media platforms. Especially helpful for folks now moving from X to BlueSky who are clueless about its security issues compared to CoSo. Thanks to @kel for pointing it out. ❤️🙏❤️
"I am also an old white guy, who has played the game on the easy setting my whole life. Not that it felt easy to me, but that daily life, school, work, love, social interactions, all came with the privilege of being a white male. This is why I pay close attention to the voices of women, people of color, the homeless, the poor. It is their voices and experiences that inform this post."

Okay, just a reminder about how things work
For the next two years, Democrats can’t really do much. So when you see really bad shit happening, that’s NOT because Democrats are being lazy, it’s because people voted for Republicans (if you voted for Republicans, it’s your fault as well.)
I know this is a surprise to many—Republicans now control what bills end up on the calendar, which die in committee, etc.
The BEST WEAPON WE HAVE is:
THE FILIBUSTER.
This is why we didn’t get rid of it.
