"Substack and similar services expanded because layoffs and consolidation created a vacuum. What appeared to be freedom often isolated workers with the same risks and bills that newsrooms once shared."
In this piece from our latest issue, @therewasnosound.bsky.social unpacks how the ‘independence’ platforms like Substack offer is a individualized survival strategy and business model that ultimately isolates workers and undermines worker power.

Such a good article in Maisonneuve on how Canada Post is being dismantled, management is rolling out tech to try to emulate Amazon, and what Canadians collectively lose if they’re successful in gutting this public institution.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.

The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Doug Ford *falsely claiming* he has the power to audit his enemies when he doesn’t actually have that power is still a news story

But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies
