I cannot imagine what would possess someone to want to disrupt all of this with a big resort.

my hot take is that unions of union staff should be very (not to suggest that they aren't!) concerned with rank-and-file democracy and member power within their employing union, and understand the connection between their own working conditions and member power

What a surprise. The BBC profiling defector Reform folk - who have skud all election success - over Greens who won 8 seats in the Scottish Parliament, & dozens of Cllrs up & down the country. Time the BBC stop acting like clickbait tabloids & actual allow represenative panels of the country.

My favorite part of election night is when everyone is watching results and people keep posting "I've seen enough..." Thanks person with an anime avatar, I appreciate your political insight.

Ramping up military spending in the UK is definitely about militarism, but it's just as much about the government's obsession with growth. To counter slower consumer spending, the govt can push military spending and bump up the GDP. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My wife was telling me about the Dallas Cheerleaders pay situation. It sounds pretty bad. They need a union.

Reading regular news sources about what's going on with the Ferries is insanely mud-slingy and unhelpful. This episode is so good because you can actually figure out the root of the problem. Unsurprisingly, the problem isn't public ownership. The problem is not enough public ownership.

Slow endurance activities are perfect for me because they don't require any real skill beyond just walking and you also get to eat a big sandwich.

Just shouting frustrations into the void here, but there are so many progressive orgs, trade unions, and charities in the UK posting like it's 2012 still. Folks, you've got to learn how the internet works.

The comments on this are troubling. Lots of libs and leftists who say there's no sense talking to people on the other side, and I think that's wrong.

Rod Dreher has been on this funny kick lately about the “re-enchantment” of the world and how AI literally connects you to a demon. This guy is doing a whole metaphysical conspiracy theory so he doesn’t have to learn how an LLM works.
