We had decades of low union activity that gave corporations the chance to show how well they would take care of us on their own.

And they super fucked entire generations of workers.

Now people must unionize, or their dirt salaries will lose them their rented homes and starve their kids. So we're seeing a blossoming of union activity in many sectors.

It's time for workers to have a tiny slice of those mega-profits corporations have been earning off our backs.

Unionize America!

Cashier: "So, uh... Why are you returning this?"

Serial Return Activist: "Because I have to use Chrome to install the device, and I don't want to use Chrome because of browser monopoly and privacy concerns."

Cashier: "Got it."

I like my phones to be lightweight, thin, and durable.

Ya know, so I can have my phone at-the-ready when under a car, upside down trying to fix my sink, or when I only have half a hand while scarfing down some lunch.

Turns out a heavy-ass foldable doesn't lend itself to doing any of that without risking permanent damage.

So Samsung, when your foldables are less than 200g, less than 72mm wide, fully ip68, and less than $1000 in today's dollars, I will consider them. Otherwise, I've already got a perfect phone.

Soldiers were sharing nuclear secrets in flash card apps.

Just because someone has a secret clearance, doesn't mean they've ever been told that the entire Internet is siphoning their data in any way possible.

But Google takes their security super seriously, and the only person they're sharing our data with is the government.

That's not a good thing, but if you need a chat app that pretty much everyone already has installed, for non-sensitive conversations, you could do much worse than Google Meet.

House arrest in Trump's giant resort mansion.

It makes sense, but it's more than a little unsatisfying.

Personally I'd love to see Trump in ADX Florence.

I think I'd be more interested in finding a cardiologist at that point.

Trump has such a large fanatical following that it's almost certain the next Republican president will use a Trump pardon as a poker chip for gaining party support on whatever plan he needs pushed.

So personally I think it's almost certain Trump will be pardoned.

But it's possible he could die in prison before that happens.

I'm just guessing here, but due to the expensive safety, security, disposaal, and political requirements, big reactors are likely going to be the most cost effective for a long time.

Plenty of real people are quite aware of our current issues, they just get drowned out online.

She's trying to be mayor, not the queen.

One mayor stands no chance against the system of DAs, lawyers, unions, and judges, that protect the police.

Between qualified immunity and "no specific obligation to protect", you'd be hard pressed to find any charges that stick.
