It’s pretty hilarious that they managed to quote Mr. Burns unironically, and possibly inadvertently.

Max is burying the lede:-) He represented Iowa in 2019 when Live Nation/Ticketmaster repeatedly violated their commitments from 2010. Now, he'll walk us through the Trump administration's corporate pardon of execs who brag about "robbing them blind." We'll be live on YouTube at 8:45am ET / 7:45am CT

tomorrow at 8:45am ET we'll be live talking about the corporate pardon the DOJ just gave to Ticketmaster

When I toured an Amazon FC, I kept waiting to see the people in charge. The cliche bosses sitting in offices above everyone monitoring the work. It took a while for me to understand the scanners in everyone's hands were in charge, not people.

my running list of jobs that have been reverse centaur-ed (per Cory Doctorow's definition) 1. Amazon DSP driving 2. long-haul trucking 3. call center work (esp non-union) 4. food delivery 5. ____________

There are jobs where you use tech to do your job. In other jobs, tech uses *you* to do its job. Cory Doctorow calls these "reverse centaurs." Ever worked one of these jobs? Where? What was it like?

With alt text:

This is how Cory Doctorow defines “enshittification.” Where do you see it nowadays? Where do you think it’ll pop up in the near future?

we’re interviewing the one and only Cory Doctorow this week. Call in your question or just drop it in the replies below!

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

@bedoyausa.bsky.social and I are now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

This is the largest liquid natural gas company in the US. It's CEO was at the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser where candidate Trump asked oil & gas execs for $1 billion. They gave $250K to a Trump-affiliated PAC in 2024. Notice anything?

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran. Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich. Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.

yet there is always money for bombs

CA AG Bonta on WBD merger: "The deal is not done" California’s attorney general @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov tells The Weeknight his office will investigate the possible merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, hours after Netflix backed away from a planned takeover.

“$6 billion in synergies” is the new Aristocrats

@bedoyausa.bsky.social @thefairfightpod.bsky.social Great show today gentlemen! www.youtube.com/live/SRpi9j-...

if you want 77 minute summary, with side quests into David Ellison's acting debut in Flyboys, into how this merger is completely rotten, we got you www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRpi...

#1 has to happen today, or thereabouts, too. prospect.org/2026/02/27/s...

stopping the Paramount / Warner Brothers merger in 3 steps #1 AG Rob Bonta moves to block it w/ other state AGs #2 presidential candidates (& leading Ds) make clear they'll undo this corrupt merger the second they're in charge #3 everyone unsubscribes from Paramount+ TODAY

Live now talking about the fact that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi are about to be part owners of CNN www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRpi...

Will be live on YT in 30 minutes to talk about how not 3 months ago Larry Ellison was talking about the White House about pulling *specific CNN anchors off the air.* From @hugolowell.bsky.social:

This is good news

It's a tough ask but I'm convinced bari weiss is up to the challenge

One Family controls Fox News, Fox Sports, FX, the New York Post, Harper Collins, the Times and Sun in the UK and the Wall Street Journal. That horse left the barn a long time ago.

god I wish people realized how much power they actually have If we collectively cancelled our subscriptions to these services—for even 1 month!—we could change this 1 month of our effort in exchange for a government that works for the people, not against them

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

Media and entertainment are consolidating at an alarming pace, with some intent on controlling what you see and hear. Tomorrow morning, @bedoyausa.bsky.social and @maxmmiller.bsky.social will go LIVE at 8:45ET/7:45CT to discuss. www.youtube.com/live/SRpi9j-...

TIL a Fight Oligarchy guy is running for Colorado Attorney General

psssssst we *can* have nice things pass it on

BIG TIME COLORADO HEADS UP...

people, the guy who won this case is running for Attorney General of Colorado. he's been uniform in saying he will prosecute ICE & CBP agents who break the law. you should support him. @seligmanforag.bsky.social

yes. punch up. don't punch the neighbor.

Next Monday, March 2nd at 5:30 pm MT (7:30 pm ET), @alixdunn.com will chat with David, @bedoyausa.bsky.social, and Elliott “El’Bo” Awatt about how we can build worker and people power in the face of Big Tech’s lobbying. Register for the livestream here: luma.com/7ey0m3ar

This is precisely what we needed: a strong statement from CA AG Rob Bonta on all proposed Warner Bros. mergers, whether Netflix or Paramount. Because Paramount is trying to speedrun the merger process, this advance warning is, well, paramount. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

The world is pretty bad right now so here’s a pretty great poem to even it out for a minute. Stay strong people

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“This isn’t the Supreme Court checking Donald Trump, this is the Supreme Court backing the Chamber of Commerce.” 🎯 Alvaro Bedoya @bedoyausa.bsky.social, fmr FTC commissioner.

Going on the show shortly to discuss!

The kind of abuse and harassment that sex workers face when their real names are exposed is uniquely gross.
