The DOT regulated junk fees. Airlines are suing.

The CFPB capped credit card fees. Banks are suing.

Medicare is negotiating drug prices. Pharma is suing.

The FTC banned noncompetes. Business groups are suing.

Corporate America can't stand government working for the people.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year.

In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

LAW DORK EXCLUSIVE: Justice Alito sold Bud Light stock amidst anti-trans boycott effort https://www.lawdork.com/p/alito-bud-light-stock-sale-anti-trans-boycott

ALSO, LEST YOU WONDER: Yes, justices shouldn't own individual stocks at all — please, write those stories, use this as an example! — but that isn't the point of my story, which is that a justice voting on trans cases might have participated in an anti-trans boycott. That's its own problem.

Mastodon needs to see Violet Affleck. Not only does she wear 3M Auras and FloMasks consistently, she's also trying to show her mindset with the book she's carrying.

Please - if you use Mastodon regularly, pay for your use of the platform.

I find it insane that Stux - who runs mstdn.social is paying out of pocket every month to keep mstdn.social alive, because people are not funding the platform they use enough to cover the bare running costs, let alone the admin time he puts in.

please, look up who is running your server and pay them money. You are costing them, personally, money.

Thank you.

Half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food and housing costs.

A third of the workers have had to rely on at least one government assistance program.

Amazon's stock hit an all time high in April. Jeff Bezos is now worth $203 billion.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

You wont believe the number of stormtroopers theyre deploying against unarmed students unless you see it. This is just one side: at least 7 police departments with at least two layers at every point of egress, with several layers in back for rear control and rotation. They've got the army out against your kids for having the audacity to do whatever they can to stop a genocide

a wide (~50m?) staircase with maybe 20 rows of cops in full riot gear stare down a handful of unarmed students

It's ridiculous that most Democrats are just watching passively as Republicans are passing mask bans. In states where Democrats hold power, they should absolutely be passing laws that codify and protect people's rights to wear a mask.

I've been a happy user of Nothing audio for years. I've had a pair of Nothing Ear(1), which I replaced with a Nothing Ear(2) when one of the earbuds broke, and then I even got their Nothing Phone (actually my current phone). It's, basically, the brand I've felt more loyalty towards for literal decades.

So when two days ago I stepped over one of the earphones and cracked the plastic shell, I was sure I was going to get a new pair.

Long story short, I've been just checking their site, looking for the name and price of their last model, and saw this:

And... fuck this shit. Fuck it with a flamming iron rod. You were making some awesome, high-quality and more or less cheap, earphones, you were doing so good, but you had to integrate this earth-burning snake oil on your product? fuck it. I won't pay for any fucking hardware integrated with that nightmare.

So long story short:

Any recommendation for some good bluetooth earphones? No apple products, but anything else I'm willing to consider.

Why has water become such an issue for AI and data centers?

Because for years, Big Tech boosted energy efficiency and reduced CO2 by using more and more water.

It also "reduced" CO2 by causing a massive increases in e-waste.

There is the huge danger in focusing only on CO2. To reduce CO2, we often degrade other life systems such as water, soil, biodiversity.

CO2 is increasingly being used for greenwashing.

We must measure the total cost to the environment, not just part of the cost.

FYI, someone just asked me, "Could you please put a CW on those US politics posts?"

I said no sorry,, just mute me.

I don't understand CWing political posts. And that doesn't mean you need to @ me explaining why. I know THEIR reasons, I just disagree with them and won't do it.

I respect CWs for other things, but not politics. Politics is news and people need to be aware of what's happening. It's not gory or violent, it's politics.

Kthxbye.

The state in Brazil where I grew up is now under water. Everything I knew, the friends I had, the houses I lived, the animals I loved, the bridges I crossed, even the waterfall I used to hike by... all gone.

Everything you know, love, and work hard for can all crumble down in a matter of seconds.

It's been a tough week. 😔

Really fantastic work to give in to COVID deniers and antivaxxers, with absolutely no long term consequences

(If you don't know, H5N1 has ~50% fatality rate.)

If you are wondering
how prepared we are
for the next pandemic
just know there are places
where there are
“customers asking
for H5N1 milk
because they want
immunity from it,”
so clearly we are prepared,
prepared to let another virus win.

The studios are hurting. They are obviously and publicly licensing old material to each other and scrambling to bundle streaming services together hoping the audience won’t notice they have little new to offer on each service alone.

IATSE has opportunity to build on groundwork laid by WGA &SAG-AFTRA, can press the boot studios are feeling on their necks & catch up on the raises that didn’t happen since 1980. I so very much hope they do.

Last year we set the tone, this year we bring it home.

Politicians and political commentators whine about young people not buying homes and starting families (not getting married) and then do NOTHING to help the young people (who do exist) who would love to do one or more of these things but can't because it's too damn expensive.

Build housing and coops where young people want to live. Protect their jobs with unions. Make health care not an issue.

Do not make some marriages impossible because you don't like the genders.

Not rocket science.
