Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I think I'm going to be opening up for commissions in the next couple weeks. Here's one I did almost a year ago. The request was "Darkwing Duck vs. Duckula."

every time a child dies of a preventable disease in the next few years, that's the payoff for Nuzzis horniness
Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

In 2012 The AV Club decided to shutter their city-specific sites, and simply delete the sites themselves, with the YEARS worth of writing and history just thrown away. I was the Denver/Boulder city editor at the time. I am still Big Mad about it, 13+ years later.
Did you know that, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible?
When Online Content Disappears
A quarter of all webpages that existed at one point between 2013 and 2023 are no longer accessible.
