Want to avoid massive layoffs when the stock market crashes? Worker co-ops are way more resilient during recessions/depressions because there's less financial incentive to fire your workforce when they own the company

Disabled academics have been asking for virtual conferences for forever. And it really sucks that a pandemic didnt change that, but unsafe travel and NEH cuts are apparently a good enough reason. 1/3

CTV’s behaviour is disgraceful.
They are allowing these anti-truth voices to win, and because of that, they will continue to act out.
CTV is complicit in spreading dis/misinformation by not standing up in the face of it.
Intentional or not, this perpetuates violence against reporters

Its literally "oh no, people are trying to protect their health with informed decisions" when it's no one else's business. some of the phrasing in this is sketchy too, trying to spin people who mask as the fucked up ones

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada.

The genAI thing gives a great deal of insight into how non-creatives and profiteers would treat and value creatives if they could. How far that exploitation would go if they could somehow keep the golden eggs coming without us.
It’s not new info, per se, but it is an interesting quantification.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:
