Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

On this day in 1984, #Dune as directed by #DavidLynch premiered in the US. It's one of my favourite films of all time.

Wacko Soap Plant is always one of my first stops when shopping for gifts. So many fun stores to hit in LA
Instead of holiday shopping at an evil mega-corporation, why not shop local this season instead?
From vintage Godzilla collectibles to cursed taxidermy objects, @marinamasako.bsky.social has got you covered. Bonus: all locations are easily @metrolosangeles.bsky.social accessible!

Reminder that 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.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Under the program all families, regardless of income, can get their child care fees covered.
