As someone who works in traffic safety, I concur. We don't use the word "accident" because they never are.

If a car hits me & i die from it and you call it an "accident" i will personally come back to haunt you by making it constantly sound like an electric car is speeding behind you and passing without adequate space.

As Hollywood executives claim they can't afford to pay actors better wages, they're also spending lavishly on AI, with Netflix offering $900,000 for a single AI product manager.

87% of actors earn under $26k.

Hollywood executives said writers’ and actors’ strike demands like raising wages and protecting actors’ likenesses from AI was “unrealistic.”

I don't think that a viewing boycott should happen until and unless the striking unions request it. And if or when they do I'll be 100% behind it.
I think we should be talking about a viewer's strike right now. Cut off the streaming services at least, until an agreement is reached with WGA and SAG. Maybe no movies as well? What do you think?

I'm one of the people on strike. And yes, I have people working for me who will also be jobless if the strike goes on. Your point though seems to be you should work for people who admit to trying to make you homeless as a "necessary evil" because you have to eat. I'm not convinced.

There are just so many fucked up parts to this story: The abortion happened before Roe v Wade was overturned. A young man was involved but only got probation while the mom and daughter face jail. Facebook gave the cops their private messages. A friend turned them in. This is all just so so fucked up
NEW: A Nebraska mother who helped her daughter end her pregnancy with abortion pills has plead guilty to three charges. The daughter plead guilty in May and will be sentenced next week. Both face two years in prison for accessing healthcare the state made unavailable
Nebraska Mom Pleads Guilty to Giving Abortion Pills to Her Teen Daughter
Jessica Burgess faced eight years in prison for helping her then 17-year-old get abortion pills. A plea deal brought it down to two.

An update to my article from November, mentioning how Twitter alternatives are doing.

Twitter does feel now like watching a shopping mall go slowly out of business.

Meta's Threads is surging, but mass migration from Twitter is likely to remain an uphill battle
The communities that call Twitter home might decide to pack their bags. If they do, they are unlikely to be able to completely reconstitute themselves elsewhere.

💫BEEP BEEP💫 we’re going on TOUR! 🚌

While Starbucks gets hit with tons of federal court rulings for labor law violations, workers from union stores across the country are hitting the road to let Starbucks and customers know that we need real bargaining for a union contract NOW.
