We are in the midst of the largest wave of industrial action in decades. Workers are addressing the cost-of-living crisis through the pay packet. And poll after poll demonstrates widespread public support for nurses, teachers, junior doctors and other workers taking strike action despite a concerted media effort to undermine them. In response to the […]
Feinstein, who was hospitalized in early March for shingles and has remained in her San Francisco home since March 7, has missed 60 votes of the 82 taken in the Senate in 2023…
I was standing on the street in the rain, speaking to a few dozen people, without a sound system. Remarkably this is captured brilliantly just on an inexpensive phone camera, and my words have already reached several thousand. Good people cannot just give up and do nothing. We have to continue to try to do […]

An important recent article on resource use and its environmental impacts starts from the premise that “the planet’s resources and ecosystems are a commons, and… all people are entitled to an equal, sustainable share.” Alas, the world today deviates wildly from this norm. Indeed, inequality—of resource use, but also of income and wealth—is extremely high today and is actually worsened by economic growth. What’s more, it is bad for our politics,

After more than 20 years of losing wars, recruiting for the U.S. Army is now officially a mess. Last year, that service fell short of its goal by 15,000 recruits, or a quarter of its target. Despite reports of better numbers in the first months of this year, Army officials doubt they will achieve their objective this time around either. The commanding general at Fort Jackson, the South Carolina facility that provides basic training to 50% of all new members of the Army, called the recruiting command’s task the hardest since the all-volunteer military was launched in 1973.

Hey, from now on, I'll be totally inactive on Twitter.
I'll leave my account 'as is' with a link to this article in the most recent Twitt.

I already started to unfollow many accounts around January, I archived everything, deleted DMs, and over the last month I only connected to it to copy/paste news from my blog. So, I already was a zombie on the platform.
Dear TikTok Support,
I don’t know if this is the right place for this or if TikTok has a specific form for complaints regarding user-submitted effects, but I have a big issue with the currently trending old age filter.
After seeing my For You page flooded with fun images of young couples suddenly transformed into scraggly-skinned septuagenarians, I decided to join the party by uploading a photo of my wife Connie and me.
But instead of a goofy memento of how we might look after a lifetime of living, laughing, and loving, the filter shows my smiling wife standing in front of my freshly dug grave. And with her is an unknown older guy who clearly has his hand on the small of her back.
Like, what?
Not only that, but Connie has barely aged in the photo. She’s got a couple of extra laugh lines, and that’s it. Is the filter implying I’ll be dead in four to ten years and that she’ll be dating before my body is cold?
What is currently taking place in Palestine is not yet a religious war, but some Israeli officials and political parties are keen on turning it into one.
