CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Your ten seconds of indoor golden hour autumn bliss

Thank you @undertow.bsky.social! I'm excited to burrow myself into these on the Canadian long weekend. My weird fiction exposure so far has been Vandermeer, Mieville, and mostly older works and I'm trying to read more widely and discover new authors because: what a gorgeous genre.

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass: all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff stop burning stuff for heat stop burning stuff for make car go stop burning stuff for power we have the tools

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Just got refunded for my @kneecapceol.bsky.social tickets in @toronto.ca and am absolutely livid that they are barred entry in Canada @vgasparro.bsky.social you are the one acting contrary to Canadian values and chose the side of genocide and repression of free speech.

There is a radio in the distance. A radio of the world. Playing sounds - Good morning, Elysium. Soon you will return to the world.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Timeline cleanse (It's for me just as much as for you)

Esp from a former (albeit elitist) climate champion. Hard right turn from his Tragedy of the Horizons speech to let's market ourselves as greener oil vs non-democratic oil countries under guise of global peace and cont to reap massive royalties, while the taxpayer funds stranded future assets

When he found that the administrators were upset, he laughed. “Do they expect students not to be anarchists?” he said. “What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up”

SHIVERS - A grey rain falls on Martinaise. The city soaks in it, cold and dripping. Waves hit the concrete breakers. The homeless huddle by the fires behind the fences. There, among the shacks, is your home. Stay. Have a drink. Forever.

Flagging fake news left and right on YouTube. At first it was funny and now I am tired. Any other Canadians see this influx of ads featuring either Mark Carney or Jagmeet Singh being "arrested"?

The public will pay for very expensive pipelines that are not necessary (see: cheap low carbon alternatives) and saddles us with stranded assets. Investors don't wanna pay for that shit, they have already figured out it's not a good return UNLESS the taxpayer holds the bag. Don't be fooled Canada!

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

Meanwhile, the Israeli army is now destroying the aid they refuse to allow to be distributed to people they are deliberately starving to death. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

The Earth is also terrible, and dark, and cruel. The rabbit shrieks dying in the green meadows. The mountains clench their great hands full of hidden fire. There are sharks in the sea, and there is cruelty in men’s eyes.

Very excited about this!

The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

For pensions and fund managers, check to see if they are signatories to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (many are): www.unpri.org/signatories If yes, ask them how they are applying their human rights due diligence responsibilities. E.g.: have they divested from Israel sovereign bonds?

Are you invested in any mutual funds? Do you work for a large public company? Do you have a pension? Send them this report and ask them the simple question: What are you doing to ensure you are not enabling genocide with your investments/business relationships?

Hello friends, we have some NEWS!! ✨ 🌟 AUGUR PRESS is OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!! 🌟 We're so, SO excited for this next step in the Augur Society journey, and to read all your wonderful words. 💜 Read the guidelines, send us your work, and share widely!

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

❤️ Also thank you to the pathetic @BBC for introducing me to Bob Vylan as you were trying to silence Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury, and cut to Bob Vylan instead as they were chanting def to the IDF - brilliant.

If you look around at everything and all you have to complain about is Zohran Mamdani, you’re probably an asshole.

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Hot commie summer is what the people want 🍾

one day it's going to come out that the total revenue for the entire generative AI industry is like $20-$25bn in 2025, and the cost to make that revenue was $50bn-$100bn+

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

Jewish classmates of Mohsen Mahdawi speak out— One, an IDF refuser, recalls how Mohsen met with Zionists, including those cruel to him—or how, while seeking to heal campus, he even expressed sympathy for administrators (the same who ignored his pleas for help). "Most profound person I've ever met"

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

WIRED doing stellar reporting these days. Get your tech specs and authoritarianism checks in one place

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Put this on your fucking Hugo ballots or be dead to me tbh

BREAKING | Protesters in Los Angeles shut down traffic, joining the nationwide movement demanding the release of detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil.

Wow -- this is exactly what I want from a book, incisively anti colonial hard-boiled fantasy noir 🙏

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I used to romanticize discovery writing but I'd get so lost in the wild garden of what's possible. Now I realize there is both freedom in structure and within the right container. This episode of @storybeast.bsky.social with @alixeharrow.bsky.social is so good!

THIS is brilliant. Hurts US tech, protects Canadian consumers, brings in the right to repair.

BREAKING: The ultimate power known as the sun decided to shine prettily through a window on a snow-filled day in Toronto. "Nobody expected this," a bystander said. "It is winter. In Canada." #slownews #canada #goldenhour #breaking

Since capitalism is built on exploitation, corporate re-uptake of white supremacism as an official policy *will* move a lot faster than any slow, grudging gestures made toward diversity or equity in past decades. That was an uphill struggle: they're happily rolling downhill now.
