"Women in Bogotá provide over 35 billion hours of unpaid care work annually — totaling more than one-fifth of Colombia’s GDP."

Neighborhoods there are looking to help. Free "care blocks" have been set up, where these women can access services while their children recieve on site care.

What happens when a city takes women’s unpaid work seriously?
Bogotá’s radical experiment in caregiving is going global.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.
For the last decade, the pervasive spread of bullshit & manipulation of online platforms have been widely recognized societal concerns. Now non US citizens studying those subjects can be labeled “censors” & denied visas or deported from the US. Censorship, indeed. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa
An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

Waiting on the identity on the charged bomber, but as an old explosives prosecutor, I'll say that evidence of identity can come from bomb signatures recognized by investigators w/institutional knowledge, components & where they were purchased, or tips. Revisiting old evidence can be illuminating.

Quick note - how many hours are in a week? What did minimum wage get you in each decade? In 2025, it gets you nothing but exhaustion. There isn’t a single place in the US where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom rental.
That’s the reality.

This is braid #107 from Makiko Tada’s Comprehensive Treatise of Braids Volume 1. It is a 24-element braid called masu-gumi completed in 5 gradient colors of 100% mercerized cotton yarn. I used 70g tama and 40% counterweight. Such a fun braid!

The thing about healthcare, disability support etc is that there really is no budget that should be set on these.

The amount of money they have access to should be the amount required to give everyone what they need and it's not a bill anyone should try to reduce. It is plainly immoral to try.

One reason: In mainstream political journalism, your bosses reward you for coming off as dry, unsurprisable, immune to alarm. "Everybody needs to calm down" is a signal to them that you are not volatile, and thus not prone to bad judgment. This is exactly what should not be rewarded right now. >
