What you should know
Mamdani administration has secured more than $8.5M in restitution since taking office
[Note: To be clear, that's just between January 2026 and March 2026.]
...over YouTube Live while eating a Crunchwrap Supreme, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the filing of an enforcement petition against QSR Management LLC, a Dunkin’ franchisee that operates locations in Staten Island, seeking monetary relief for workers and civil penalties.
The petition alleges that QSR Management LLC and managing corporate officer Ronny Nader violated the rights of approximately 1,000 workers under the Fair Workweek Law and Protected Time Off Law.
The Mamdani Administration also announced settlements with two companies that will provide more than 830 workers with more than $1.8 million to resolve violations of the Fair Workweek Law. In addition to restitution, Dunkin’ & Taco Bell franchisee Salz Management LLC and premium fashion retailer Theory will pay more than $176,000 in civil penalties and costs...
“Today’s settlements are about more than financial compensation for working New Yorkers —though that relief matters. At their core, these actions are about restoring dignity on the job. Every worker deserves a predictable schedule — something stable enough to plan a life around, to care for family, to show up for the people who depend on them,” said Mayor Mamdani. “This city will not tolerate any corporation or franchisee that violates our Fair Workweek laws, or any of the labor protections that workers fought for and won. We will keep enforcing those laws, so that every New Yorker knows their rights and can count on this city to defend them.” ...
The Mamdani Administration is urging all workers who believe their rights have been violated to file a complaint by visiting nyc.gov/workers or by calling 311.
Since Jan. 1, 2026, the Administration has secured more than $8.5 million in restitution for New York City workers, including more than $500,000 for freelancers ripped off by production company Splashlight and nearly $5 million for Uber Eats, Fantuan and HungryPanda delivery workers.

If you want to file a complaint, as quoted from the press release:
Workers and employers can visit nyc.gov/workers or call 311 for more information or to file a complaint. Complaints may be filed anonymously, and retaliation is illegal.
Had these ads randomly recommended to me and they're SO! CUTE!!! I'm shocked I hadn't discovered them before! They were made by Kihachirō Kawamoto for the Mitsuwa Soap Company, evidently his company did a number of cute stop motion ads in the '60s. So so charming and inspiring!!
Cishet peoples' feelings is collateral damage at best
Buddy if "let allies attend and participate in pride" reads to you as "what if excluding them makes them feel bad :(" and not "Shit Is So Fucking Hard Right Now, We Are Going To Flood The Streets In So Much Unity And Love That Fuckers Think Twice Before Screwing With Any Of Us" then I'm not sure what to tell you
"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade
At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
As an old crone who experienced and fell head over heels for these games as they were released, I'd resigned myself as time went on to more or less never hearing another good Mass Effect Original Trilogy take. Since the trilogy ended over a decade ago, it's rare to see new videos discussing the series, and even then most newer videos I come across are just clickbait from a white American TwitchBro who's usually sitting in a gaming chair that cost more than my car.
So I really loved discovering this younger player's take on it all. Her short vid has a criminally low number of views right now, but it gave me the feels and made me deeeeeeeeply crave another playthrough. ❤️

people who learned about greek mythology due reasons that DONT involve having read percy jackson at 12 freak me out, like what the FUCK was going on in your life that you found out that zeus turned into a pigeon to woo his wife like HOW
There was mythology books at the library and I read that at 8. Also my elementary school teachers taught us ablut greek and roman mythology, it's part of France's school programs. We saw a play about Theseus and the Minotaur when we were in kindergarten.
I saw a bumper sticker and thought “is that seductive Daffy Duck” and then when I looked closer I realized it was actually a fishing bumper sticker but also. also it is still very much seductive Daffy Duck???? somehow????????
#the fact that 'can prove access to an online account at least 12 years old' or even 'account to be verified is itself fully 18 years old'#AREN'T accepted methods of age verification is such a telling sign of what the real purpose of age-gating laws is:#data harvesting and deanonymization and the buildout of state-controllable ways to restrict both content and internet access itself en masse (via @shinelikethunder )
I was gonna include Fate: Grand Order in the above list but the first sentence on its wikipedia page is "Fate/Grand Order is a free-to-play Japanese gacha mobile game" so hey nice, lets bring that energy more often.
what was with that genre of poetry that was like "bad things are happening in the world. they are not happening to me and i am doing normal things. i am stressed anyway because of twitter"
