First let me talk about the 6-7 meme. You probably saw it; as someone mentions “six seven”, someone else does the “grab balls” gesture with their hands, alternately, while repeating “six seven~”. It doesn’t really have semantic meaning, but it has a social one, that made it so popular: it signals someone belongs to the group of people who know the meme. Now lemme talk about carbonara. See, there are a lot of reasons why the “canonical” recipe eventually settled this way, instead of another. For plenty (most?) people, the canonical recipe is perfect: garlic and eggs don’t really go well together, they fight a bit pecorino’s sharp taste improves the dish in a way gruyère or grana/PR wouldn’t guanciale is chewier, and the smoky flavour typically found in bacon would also fight other ingredients Bear in mind every single of those points is subjective: they’re a matter of taste, and while I do believe this taste should be shared by plenty people, this is not a true/false matter. As in, someone out there might actually like garlic x eggs, and that’s completely fine. However. When people gatekeep carbonara, they never talk about those points, right. It’s always that “authentic” babble, being parroted over and over: “ackshyually lol carbonara should be made with $ingredient_1, never $ingredient_2 lmao”. Because the gatekeeping is not about helping you to make the best-tasting carbonara for you, it’s about signalling “I know CHRUE CURRBONAWA”. Much like 6-7, except coupled with disdain for what the others made. It’s a bloody meme. But a really cringe one.

someone pointed out on a thread on here recently how all of the people rushing to Plat’s defense are the exact same people who dropped Maurrine Galindo like a hot potato the instant the NYT did an article about her making a couple of sus statements. I guess being a tenant organizer and supporting progressive politics wasn’t enough for her, but doing nothing of note and supporting progressive politics is enough to completely wash Plat’s entire history. If you think the electoral and lesser evil or “people can get better” arguments hold water, then that’s a MASSIVE double standard. Why does Plat get so much grace that other progressives simply don’t? I think that on some level that’s what people who are really mad about Platner are responding to. Platner gets grace because Amerikkkans view going to another country and murdering brown people as a lesser crime than saying something slightly sus on social media. Platner gets grace because even many of the progressive minded among us still kinda worship troops and so the fact that he’s lied about his record and gotten immediately caught multiple times gets handwaved away. Platner gets grace because he might flip a Maine Senate seat - that last one is the kind of purely practical political calculation I would expect from someone invested in the Democrats as a political project, and I would accept it (while disagreeing that that should be the goal) if they were at least honest about it.

Ah okay. That’s a lot. Maybe reduce weights and slowly build up from 40% of 1 rep max? Going heavy on big lifts is very exhausting on the nervous system—especially if you are starting out. It will affect other activities.

Four migrant workers – Ullah Ismat Qiemi, Safi Iayjad, Amin Fazal Khogjani, and Waseem Khan – were burned alive in a car for demanding the regularization of their work at the beginning of June in Amendolara, Italy. “They were farmhands working in our fruit and vegetable harvests, exploited like slaves,” the Calabria chapter of left party Potere al Popolo stated. “When they found the courage to rebel and demand a proper contract, they were punished in a horrific manner: the gangmasters trapped them inside a car at a rest stop near Cosenza and set it on fire.” The event was caught on camera and expanded upon by Mohammad Taj Alamyar, a fifth worker who survived the attack. In his testimony, he described the coercive conditions in which he and his comrades were forced to live, including unstable housing, delayed payments, and the absence of working contracts. According to the trade union confederation CGIL, up to 12,000 farm workers in the region of Calabria alone might be exposed to similar treatment – which allows large companies to save on labor costs and increase profits. Read more: Outrage in Ireland after Congolese man Yves Sakila killed as guards kneel on his neck The five workers operated under the caporalato system, an illegal form of labor organization where intermediaries (caporali) hire temporary laborers on behalf of employers, often gaining control over all aspects of their lives. These gangmasters can deduct rent and transportation costs from the workers’ already low daily wage, keeping them in a constant state of need, CGIL warned. Potere al Popolo’s Giuliano Granato emphasizes the model is present not only in agriculture, where it is perhaps most notorious, but also in sectors like construction and textile production, spanning across the whole country. While the workforce used to comprise Italian workers, it now consists largely of migrants from countries including India, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. While technically workers arrive in Italy legally, Granato told BreakThrough News, they are exploited from their very first moments there. “To reach Italy in the first place, workers and their families are forced to take on debts. When they arrive here, they have to pay off these debts – only to often discover that the companies they were told about may not even exist or do not want to employ them, and they end up in a slavery-like situation.” The caporalato system is illegal in Italy, but trade unions warn that the implementation of legislation remains lacking. And when cases of extreme violence turn public attention to specific workers exploited under this model, rarely does the discussion address responsibility beyond the gangmaster level. Potere al Popolo insists it is crucial to move beyond this as the investigation of Qiemi, Iayjad, Khogjani, and Khan’s murder unfolds. “The two men who murdered the four farmhands were gangmasters who profited at the expense of these workers, but they were the second-to-last link in the chain,” Granato says. “Who is above them? Which companies did they work for? Which farms did they harvest strawberries on? We need to go all the way up the chain.” Read more: Thousands protest against war and cost of living crisis in Italy The response to the murder has also unmasked institutional duplicity, Granato points out. “I’m comparing the institutional reaction to the one we observed in Modena, when a 31-year-old man, an Italian citizen born to a Moroccan family, drove his car into a crowd, sending several people to the hospital. Both Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella rushed to the city.” “In the case of Amendolara, no one went. These four murdered farmworkers clearly do not deserve institutional outrage.” The popular response differed from the institutional one, although anti-migrant narratives and the short time allocated to organizing a local demonstration on June 6 likely impacted participation. However, in the general population “there was a great deal of outrage over this murder, over this barbarity – because not only were four people killed, but they were killed in a barbaric manner, burned alive and locked up,” Granato says. In the aftermath of the workers’ murder, Potere al Popolo and other progressive organizations are demanding a comprehensive response to the system enabling this type of crime. “Calabria cannot continue to be plagued by these atrocities as if they were natural, inevitable occurrences unrelated to politics,” Potere al Popolo Calabria wrote ahead of the protest. “They are not. They have a name: caporalato, institutional racism, class exploitation.” Ana Vračar , June 12, 2026 From BT News via This RSS Feed.

Officials in several cities joined advocacy groups in celebrating a federal court ruling Friday that blocked the Trump administration’s rule which, they argued in a lawsuit, illegally imposed new fees and created barriers “that would make it harder—and in some cases impossible—for people to get and keep affordable health insurance.” The cities of Columbus, Ohio; Baltimore; and Chicago were among the plaintiffs in a case filed last week in the US District Court of Maryland against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and other Trump officials, arguing that the so-called “Marketplace Integrity and Affordability” rule would destabilize the insurance market and penalize vulnerable families, “rather than promoting affordability.” The rule was introduced in May, months after Affordable Care Act subsidies that had made ACA insurance premiums more affordable for millions of people were allowed to expire by Republicans in Congress. More than 1 million fewer Americans signed up for coverage in ACA exchanges after the tax credits expired, and the Trump administration claimed that the new rule’s provision of more “catastrophic” insurance plans would give more “choice” to people who couldn’t afford plans that cover more healthcare needs. The rule also required additional verification for low-income households before they enroll in ACA plans, with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz claiming the new requirement “strengthens eligibility checks, cracks down on abuse, and gives insurers more flexibility to offer affordable, consumer-focused coverage options.” “Cloaked in the pretense of government efficiency and fraud prevention, the 2026 rule creates numerous barriers to affordable insurance coverage." The verification requirements and new fees could cause as many as 2 million people to drop their coverage, said Democracy Forward, which represented the plaintiffs, as well as raising annual costs by about $700 for families. “Cloaked in the pretense of government efficiency and fraud prevention, the 2026 rule creates numerous barriers to affordable insurance coverage, negating the ACA’s goal of extending affordable health coverage to all Americans, and instead increasing the population of underinsured and uninsured Americans,” the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit. In the ruling on Friday, US District Judge Brendan Hurson vacated several provisions of the rule, including ones that revoked guaranteed insurance coverage for people with past-due premiums; required eligibility verification for the special ACA enrollment period; and imposed a $5 premium penalty on people who automatically reenrolled in their plans. Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said the rule’s provisions were among “the Trump-Vance administration’s illegal attempts to undermine the Affordable Care Act.” “This ruling is a significant win for millions of Americans, including thousands in Ohio, who would have been denied coverage or seen their out-of-pocket costs skyrocket due to this president and his administration," said Klein. "We will continue to fight to protect healthcare coverage for all Americans whenever it’s threatened.” Richard Trent, executive director of Main Street Alliance, a small business advocacy group that also joined the lawsuit, said that “the Trump-Vance administration’s unlawful attempt to undermine the Affordable Care Act would have increased costs, created unnecessary barriers to coverage, and made it harder for entrepreneurs and workers to get the care they need.” “Small business owners cannot grow their businesses when healthcare becomes more expensive and less accessible,” said Trent. “We are grateful that the court has protected these critical safeguards and reaffirmed that affordable healthcare remains essential to a strong economy and thriving Main Streets across the country.” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott also applauded the ruling, but emphasized that healthcare advocates’ “work is not over.” As Common Dreams reported Friday, tied up in the Trump administration’s push for more Americans to use high-deductible catastrophic insurance—which is likely to present families with high out-of-pocket costs—is a plan to push households into more medical debt by allowing them to take out loans directly from their health insurance companies. “We will continue to fight back against any attempts by this administration to slash protections under the ACA," said Scott, "and will not stop fighting until every person in this nation has access to the affordable, quality healthcare they deserve.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Football governing body Fifa has removed Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan from the 2026 World Cup officiating roster after American authorities denied him entry into the country, ending what would have been the first World Cup finals appearance by a Somali match official. Artan, the Confederation of African Football’s men’s referee of the year in 2025, was barred from entering the US at Miami International Airport and is currently in Turkey. US immigration authorities have not publicly provided a reason for the decision. In a statement, Fifa said Artan would be unable to participate in the tournament after discussions with US authorities.

The US Department of Justice on Friday approved Paramount Skydance Corporation’s megamerger with Warner Bros. Discovery, prompting opponents of the $110 billion deal to place their hopes of blocking it in the hands of Democratic state attorneys general. The DOJ’s Antitrust Division approved the merger without requiring divestitures or behavioral remedies—a significant win for billionaire Paramount CEO David Ellison. Analysts and critics had suggested the DOJ might require sales of some of the corporation’s numerous cable networks, streaming services, film and television studios, sports programming rights, or media outlets. The DOJ also reportedly declined to impose conduct restrictions on bundling, distribution, licensing commitments, and other areas. “If we had an uncorrupted Department of Justice, Paramount would not even have tried to merge with Warner Bros. Discovery, in plain violation of the law," Robert Weissman, co-president of the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, said in response to the news of the DOJ approval. “If it had, a Department of Justice that was doing its job would have rushed to court to block the merger the moment it was announced.” “Now, however, a compromised DOJ has rubber-stamped a merger that consolidates power for the Ellisons, one of [President Donald]Trump’s preferred oligarch families," Weissman added. “This merger will jack up prices for consumers, cost workers their jobs and, most importantly, limit the range of viewpoints permitted to air on the major media or appear in movies and creative outlets. Put simply, this is an anti-free speech merger." This is terrible news for every American who doesn’t want Trump-aligned billionaires to control what they watch and how much they pay.The Paramount-Warner Bros. deal has reeked of corruption and influence-peddling.This fight isn’t over. State AGs must block this merger. [image or embed] — Elizabeth Warren (@warren.senate.gov) June 12, 2026 at 1:48 PM Craig Aaron, co-CEO of the advocacy group Free Press, said in a statement: “Despite all the talk about conducting a thorough investigation, the fix was in at the Trump Justice Department from the start. Paramount Skydance has fêted, flattered, and promised sweeping changes to news coverage to win the administration’s approval, despite evidence that giving one corporation this much media power—all the movie studios, cable channels, and newsrooms—will undermine competition, destroy jobs, slant the news, and endanger our democracy." “We’ve already seen how far Paramount and the Ellison family are willing to go to diminish a once-proud network and news organization like CBS, and they promise to do worse if they get their hands on Warner Bros., HBO, CNN, and all the rest," he added. “The Ellisons aren’t hiding their intentions, and no weak concessions will make this deal any better.” Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, warned earlier this week that approval of the merger would result in “the same kind of unprecedented pro-MAGA editorial control we have seen at CBS News and ‘60 Minutes.’” Raskin also contended that the merger could mean that “American consumers, who already pay an average $69 a month for streaming on top of $100 a month for cable and $78 for internet,” will pay “even more for sports, news, and entertainment.” As Politico’s Yasmin Khorram reported Friday: The [DOJ] decision… paves the way for Paramount to combine with the entertainment and media company behind a vast film and television studio, CNN, and the HBO Max streaming service, which would be combined with Paramount+ to create a new offering boasting about 200 million subscribers. The deal, which would upend the Hollywood ecosystem by combining two historic rival studios, is opposed by many in the entertainment industry who fear it could lead to mass layoffs, among other concerns. The DOJ’s reported approval of the merger does not necessarily mean the deal is done. Several states are weighing antitrust challenges, most notably California, where the office of Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta is conducting what he called a “vigorous” review of the proposed merger to determine how it would impact competition in entertainment, streaming, advertising, and labor markets. Reuters reported earlier this month that California, New York, and other states are preparing a lawsuit aimed at blocking the merger. “The good news is, this is not the last word on the matter," Weissman said. “Competition authorities in the states and other countries can still follow the law and stand up for the public interest against this media consolidation. Now that the federal government has abandoned antitrust enforcement in favor of cronyism and runaway consolidation, state attorneys general must step in to block this deal.” Aaron said that states “have strong case for blocking this merger, and many brave journalists, filmmakers, and workers in the entertainment industry have spoken out against the dangers of this deal despite threats to their livelihoods.” “They are warning us what will happen if this deal goes through, and we must listen,” he added. "The attorney generals have the evidence they need to stop this deal; now the public needs them to take action.” Last year’s merger between Paramount Global, Skydance Media, and National Amusements was itself opposed by critics who sounded similar alarms over corruption, antitrust issues, labor concerns, and attacks on editorial independence. CBS, a Paramount Global company, announced the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” during the merger review period. While Paramount claimed the cancellation was a financial decision, critics said its timing suggested at least indirect political pressure, given Colbert’s vocal criticism of Trump and the need for merger approval from the Federal Communications Commission. FCC Chair Brendan Carr was appointed by Trump and has been dogged by allegations that he’s more loyal to the president’s agenda than to his agency’s stated mission. One of the biggest recurring flashpoints involves claims of corporate pressure and censorship at CBS’ venerable “60 Minutes” weekly current affairs program. Numerous former “60 Minutes” journalists and others have accused Bari Weiss—the right-wing podcaster who became CBS News editor-in-chief after the merger—of political censorship. Earlier this month, a coalition of press freedom groups warned that recent firings of “60 Minutes” journalists were a “grotesque effort taken straight from an authoritarian handbook” that posed a much wider threat to democracy, and highlighted that an approved Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger would hand control of CNN, a Warner Bros. company, to the same billionaire family that now owns CBS. The coalition argued that the merger “would open the door to improper political meddling in journalists’ editorial decisions" and “alter CNN’s editorial direction (not to mention meddle with HBO’s documentaries) to be more friendly to the [Trump] administration, threatening press freedom.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.
