We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

This is, somehow, feasible.

So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Having kept a journal during pandemic, it's surprising how it can lift mood when referring back to it. Allows you to see how you weathered storms of past & muddled through/found comic relief. Some hope. #amwriting #DIY #healthcare

Amazon doesn't admit how many data centers they run. It's already over 900.
Amazon has twice as many data centres worldwide as previously reported
Amazon uses far more data centres across the globe—and has a bigger impact on the environment—than previously reported, leaked data reveals.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.
One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

The US has traditionally done so well in poorly thought out unpopular wars in mountainous jungle terrain
⚠️ The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued a NOTAM for airspace over Venezuela and nearby areas.

(NOTAM = Notice to Air Missions)

The notice cites as cause:

Spending lots of time outdoors these Nov. days--especially while hungry-- is hard. If you can, instead of giving $, offer power bar/granola bar to those in need. Many will gratefully take, have found. Got a "Thank-you, #Toronto," from fellow this morning. #TOpoli

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Toronto Cenotaph — a quiet, carved reminder of the cost of war that has gathered Torontonians in reflection every November 11 since it was unveiled in 1925.

Every corporate Christmas Tree in Montrea… no no. Just spending the day working like I sometimes do in Toronto: peripatetically wandering the underground city & finding corporate food courts where nobody bothers you. A low rent We Work w/out the tech bros. (That’s my LIFE WORK HACK).
