25 years ago (when the ads were just getting going) I had a professor tell us they’d be disastrous for the US healthcare system and…here we are (Looking back it really was an early pillar of consumerization)

Another reason we probably should stop discussing “far right” in general and start breaking down the specific racist beliefs and where they came from Just a thought

Just read about a worker sho didn’t get a (significant) bonus because their spouse has cancer and the company targets high-cost employees. Expect to see this practice become more common.

As remote work gets swept back under the rug, it’s even more critical that you take control of your work and your life

So @blackfreelance.bsky.social gave me good advice as I slog through this journey but also for folks newly in it “ how are you making sure your offerings to people are not speculative” How are you making sure to address the inequalities

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

These corporations are not "obeying in advance." This is the outcome they bought and paid for.

They want people who can LEARN and CONTRIBUTE. Most Americans have caught two if not three COVID infections by refusing to mask consistently, making their brains too mushy to do either very well. Our self-appraisals of value and desirability need to be recalibrated.

This is the supreme irony of the MAGA schism over H-1Bs. Many workers who stayed at Twitter after Musk’s takeover did so because their status in the US was contingent on their employment. They kept a site running that was then used by MAGA folks to question why they were here in the first place.

watching a christian devotional movie being screened at my parent’s church and not only is this script terrible but a key, late film plot point is a bunch of warehouse workers eagerly taking on a 24-hour shift with no additional pay just so their boss can get a new contract

“The difference between Netflix and its predecessors is that the older studios had a business model that rewarded cinematic expertise and craft. Netflix, on the other hand, is staffed by unsophisticated executives who have no plan for their movies and view them with contempt.” Damn.

Regular reminder that health insurance isn’t a gift from your employer. You work for every penny of that contribution (and then some)…so if you opt out, you should receive that cash. If you don’t, your compensation has dropped.

Ppl with traditional jobs being nasty to creators, artists and small biz on tiktok about the potential ban, yet want empathy when their traditional company does mass layoffs. In this third decade of social media of some form existing, still invalidating anyone not in a physical corporation. Great.

It's why we weren't surprised by the election breakdowns. A huge part of becoming American is to assimilate & become white. I can say "why would anyone?" all day; it's not a lived or embodied possibility for me. It's why we (Black Americans) are not seen as American until we leave the country...

whatever you feel about this you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....
