I wrote about UNION, the gripping and much-needed documentary about the Amazon Labor Union, and why it hasn't gotten a distribution deal (spoiler: Bezos has too much money/power). You can stream it on Gathr this weekend and you should! slate.com/culture/2024...

Union won raves and an award at Sundance, but executives have been afraid to make it available. Now it is.

For everyone screaming this is the end of democracy:

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.

I blogged about it here:

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

A social media platform with boundaries. Glad to see it’s possible
correction: Conservatives join Bluesky, immediately violate community guidelines, and cry about competent content moderation
