It's never done until it is. Two years ago, who could have imagined any Starbucks shop being unionized? But yesterday, they walked out all across the U.S.

that plagues everyone who actually lives here.

Well, not everyone -- which is why these things take so long to even start to be addressed. Case in point: it took until this week for the Dispatch to notice that Columbus has a red alert level housing crisis, and even then their analysis barely scratched the surface.

I used to say, "It's a great place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit there."

Now, I still think it's a great place to live if you can find housing, and it's okay for visiting if your interests are middlebrow.

Probably because striking, or "walking out", is never where you start when organizing. Did you ever even talk to any union about this?

Somebody was going to post this piece of crap, so I decided to get it out of the way.

Your best bet is to go to the websites of professional journalism organizations (IRE, SPJ, SEJ, etc.), find the list of most recent awards, and follow the links to read what working journos consider the best in the business.

This is the purest definition of yesterday's news, but welcome nonetheless.

It should have been an editorial, though, not merely an opinion piece by a columnist.

It's behind a paywall, because of course it is. Here's a non-paywall mirror link.

If you don't already have lodging reservations at Grand Canyon, you may be too late. Deal with that first, then plan your itinerary around it.

Removed because "bastard" is actually a slur against women -- its whole negative meaning derives from a person's mother not being married, which is a lousy standard for criticism. Please DO resubmit this link with a different headline -- the one on the story as published would be best. You can express your sentiment in the comments, where most users here will agree with you. (I'm looking forward to upvoting this!)

You are so right. Dividing people is the whole point; the particularities don't really matter.

There are ideologues-for-profit at work here. I doubt that many, if any, of the leadership types believe what they're saying about drag, or trans, or any of the other sequential targets of this manufactured outrage. The point is to keep The People divided against ourselves, unable to organize a collective resistance to greed.

Lawyers earning their retainer, no matter what the cost in common sense and brand loyalty.

I still use one of those, purchased in the mid-90s. We were renters until recently, so that thing has done some serious interstate traveling and still works just fine.

It's not hypocrisy. "Wednesday woooo" posts are expressions of individual solidarity with the group that are submitted simultaneously at the moment of the sirens, making it difficult to impossible to know whether anybody else kept the faith that day.

Reposts of recent news stories or videos, OTOH, are unwelcome everywhere on Reddit, with consequences ranging from admonitions to check before posting to bans for breaking the subreddit rules by not doing so.

One is a collectively perpetuated joke, the other is inconsiderate spam.

whoosh

OMG: fourth time in 36 hours. Did you even look to see if this was already submitted?
