BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

I mean admittedly this was the basis of one of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stardate 46125.
But also ... in that episode, the Dyson Sphere was defective and caused an older ship to crash and trapped the Enterprise. So, I mean, yeah. Not a great idea there either.

Chatted about AOL on CBC's "Your World Tonight" this evening.
Got to say the following on national broadcasts:
"It's true, there was a whole 1998 movie about AOL, dial-up, and love."
"Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks probably don't use dial-up anymore."
Journalism, truly. CBC News has learned.

The “revised down” numbers are just an admission of lies that they carried to pass the most destructive bill in recent history. Energy prices climbing, student loan processing up, healthcare cost increasing, and food. Now new tariffs. He builds a $200M tacky ballroom. This is the New Gilded Age.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

Things we don’t want:
Extreme wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, and the wealthy paying a lower rate than working Canadians.
Things we do want:
A truly progressive tax system where those that benefit the most from gov’t spending pay the tab, and an economy that works for everyone.
