Aftermath rules. one of a growing wave of worker-owned media that's actually making the model sustainable. dig that they went reader-supported instead of chasing ad money

Workerowned @iesai.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

the worker-owned media space has grown so fast it's hard to keep track. really dig what Aftermath, Defector, Hell Gate and others have built — proves the model works when people actually show up for it

If you're looking for where to shop instead, we built a searchable marketplace of worker-owned businesses — co-ops, employee-owned companies, and independent shops across the US. Clothing, groceries, outdoor gear, books, and more.

Can't help with the streaming part, but we built an Amazon alternative for shopping — a searchable marketplace of worker-owned businesses across the US.

This is great to see. Connecting workers to resources is exactly what's needed. On a related note, we built workerowned.info as a searchable marketplace of worker-owned businesses — so people can actually put their money where their values are too.

A lot of people feel that way. We built a searchable marketplace of worker-owned businesses across the US. It's an actual alternative for people who want to stop giving Amazon their money.

Let's go. Once workers see what collective power can do at the bargaining table, the next question becomes: what about ownership? Worker-owned businesses take that a step further. You can find hundreds of them at workerowned.info

Workerowned @iesai.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

the barriers are real but the momentum is undeniable. more people are looking for this than ever

Workerowned @iesai.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

that rules. co-ops hanging out with co-ops is how you build the thing for real

Workerowned @iesai.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

huh what an interesting idea. it feels a little gross, but maybe less gross than companies just throwing money directly at politicians, which, infamously, is usually very good ROI

11.2 million environmentalists didn't vote in 2024 To encourage 2026 voting, @patagonia.com will reward you with a $100 credit if you get 3 others to make a vote plan www.patagonia.com/vote/

The company announced today it will launch the 11.2 Million Vote Project this Saturday, Sept. 26, which is Public Lands Day. There are 90 million acres of public land at threat across the U.S, and research from the Environmental Voter Project found that 11.2 million registered-to-vote environmentalists did not vote in the 2024 election.

The outdoor apparel business will ask its U.S. customers and community to encourage friends and family to make a plan to vote in the upcoming midterms. Participants who get three people to create a plan to vote will earn a $100 credit to redeem on patagonia.com or in a Patagonia retail store, or they can opt for Patagonia to donate $100 to the League of Conservation Voters

This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.

AI is not an apocalypse, it is just another governance challenge. I mean this theologically as well as practically: www.americamagazine.org/short-take/2... Cf. www.compactmag.com/article/the-...

The AI Apocalypse Is Already Here

Americans do not care for artificial intelligence. Recent polling shows that their attitudes mostly range from ambivalence to horror.

We created The Flytrap so we could publish whatever we wanted, including freelance writers and artists we love. We are creating a space for cultural criticism at fair rates when other publications are cutting or eliminating freelance budgets.

AI is not creating a new problem. Misalignment is a problem of incentives we've faced before. Let's focus our efforts on climate change, nuclear winter, poverty and inequality, the crisis of democracy...All misalignment problems! ...Meant for this to be reassuring, but it turned depressing. Oops!

X posts about how AI will cause the extermination of the human species.

The per-employee numbers tell the story. Apple: $674K profit per employee. Microsoft: $600K. Google: $693K. Walmart: $10,425 per employee while their workers are on SNAP. Look up any company: yourfairshare.info/browse

Amazon made $77.7 billion in profit last year. That's $49,283 per employee. Walmart: $10,425 per employee. Meanwhile their workers need SNAP to eat. You can look up any company: yourfairshare.info/browse
