Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Two new, AI-enhanced ALERTCalifornia cameras have been installed in northern Lake Tahoe, providing real-time monitoring in the area to @calfire.bsky.social.
The 1,000+ cameras operating across the state mean faster fire detection and response.

most things I read about "AI" (academic papers and media reports) make me feel mad, outraged, and/or depressed not just about the state of the field but also the slow deterioration of society as a whole because of it

One huge advantage of AI is that it's forcing companies back to in-person interviews. Scanning AI-generated resumes and administering remote tests when an AI lurks in the background providing the answers just doesn't work. Companies that don't realize that will be hiring only 2ⁿᵈ rate people.

Finally saw Superman and it was amazing. Lex Luthor was an amazing villain and his envy & hatred of Superman was perfectly portrayed. A nice surprise was the relationship between Lois & Superman which was incredibly well done.
Great action, great comedy and great music.

Extremely educational thread that shows the Achilles Heel of many vibe-coding apps (and how customers churn).
A founder got super excited and was on track to spend ~$100K/yr with the tool ($8,000/mo)
And then… BOOM
Agent deleted prod DB (!!). Gives up!
Churned - for good?

We've used Wave Accounting for years, and it's largely been great. Inexplicably, their payroll system stopped working 2-3 weeks ago. Still not fixed:

Often, when people are baffled by why change can't happen, they don't consider incentive systems. Incentive systems take many forms. Here are a couple:
* Individual bonuses. These create a competitive culture within the team, and that typically leads to hoarding skills and information.

Don't forget that LLMs/AI coding tools are NOT good at building novel things. They are good at copying what is out there & what they've been trained on
Right now, cutting-edge startups are building *so much* novel software, using new libraries, frameworks etc.
Guess who you need to get these done?
