I cannot recommend this convo enough. Both enlightening about the policy that is enabling so many of our systems shittier, AND hopeful with actual steps toward making things better. Well worth the time. @adamconover.net

Absolute must listen to episode for bluesky people. Hope rather than optimism or pessimism.

Why is it always called “disruptive” when working people demand better? Thank you, @adamconover.net , for having me on Factually! to talk about worker exploitation and massive wealth & income inequality as the disruptive forces we need to address.

Adam Conover's new standup special is a hoot. I especially recommend my fellow ADHDers give it a watch (while eating candy and playing a game on their phone, naturally).

Why should we be telling workers that they need to settle with what they have?

DMs now open. And to be clear: I'm looking to create a backup of the entire site recursively, not just a single page. And I want the HTML and CSS, not just the content!

Small gig: I'm looking for someone to help me locally archive my mom's Typepad blogs before they're taken down. She is moving the content to Wordpress but I want to save the current HTML structure / images / etc. I tried wget but it's beyond me. Can pay for time spent. DM me if you're interested!
