Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

"CFIA confirmed to CBC News it conducted several inspections on Driscoll’s berries [...] and found chemical levels above the legal limit in Canada. [...] However, the CFIA says the inspections did not lead to recalls, or a corrective action was implemented and the investigations were closed." WTF?

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Money given to the wealthy gets hoarded. Money given to workers gets spent. On rent. On groceries. On local businesses. On their kids. It immediately cycles back through the economy and creates more growth than any tax cut for the rich ever could. Higher wages help everyone.

The free rider problem is the defining factor in whether someone is left or right wing, this is because if you think free riders are a problem you tend not to be intellectually curious enough to understand long chains of cause and effect.

Excellent thread about how auteurship in gaming has created a branding problem for studios under mega publishers. Studios are people. People come and go. Creative pillars can keep the structure… in privately owned studios. AAA wants to milk brand ID without honoring the path that created success.

Another way to frame this story is that it’s a great example of why voting with your wallet will never work. In the 70s when people did have more purchasing power than now they were able to show that it was a valuable tech with money alone.

I like how neither the "leaked" study or the coverage bothers to even entertain the real-world impact of what happens if Paramount's pre-merger promises are completely worthless and they wind up just firing a ton of people to pay off debt (which to be clear is what ALWAYS happens with these deals)

Strong unions in your state raises wages across the board. Union members on average see 19.5% higher pay than non. Even if you aren't part of a union, you should damn well thank them. A rising tide lifts all ships y'all.

This is where framing the debate is so important. We have to take back terms like "productivity," so it means "making things that we need more of," not "making more things."

The Zenith "Space Commander" was the 1st TV remote control and used no batteries. Each button cocked and fired a hammer into 1 of 4 calibrated metal rods of different lengths which generated an ultrasonic tone like a tuning fork. The TV had a microphone to listen for it.

The Zenith Space Commander remote control showing the tall plastic buttons, and the front has a grill to let the sound escape.
