CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

This is the best graphic depiction of #Privilege I have ever seen. It shows all the many aspects of privilege and describes who does and does not benefit from it. #AcademicWheelOfPrivilege via @forrt.bsky.social

Canada’s managed #forest is one of the largest living reservoirs of #carbon on Earth. For centuries it slowly filled, as billions of growing trees pulled CO2 from the air and stored it away in wood and soil. But in the last decades, the flow of CO2 has completely reversed mostly due to logging 🌎🧪🌐

1/ JK Rowling wants you to be scared and disgusted by people who are trans and transition. She wants you to think of all trans people as creepy predators - so she’ll use old photos, pre-transition. Her tactics are essentially no different to thugs whipping up mobs screaming that all Muslims…

I'm hearing a lot from the media NGO sector about the impact of USAID cuts. A lot of small investigative media organisations across the globe are facing imminent closure as the funding they've budget for has vanished overnight, and the funder community has no capacity to absorb the shock.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

Here, broken down into a thread, is a copy of my last post on X.
1. This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it.

Stop flying, stop diverting water to maintain golf courses, stop putting concrete over everything, stop burning fossil fuels, for fucks sake just stop it like we've been saying for 40+ years. You've made enough profits to last a millennia beyond your imminent death.

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

A tale of two headlines based on the same press release.
The reality, of course, is that the National Trust’s nature restoration efforts will bolster good farming, by “improving the health of enough soil to provide habitat for 1 billion earthworms.”
