Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Disgusting. It’s not enough the gambling has taken over every single sport now it has to come for war crimes as well???
Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones. One recent Kalshi betting market that allowed people to bet on whether Palestinians in Gaza would suffer mass starvation.

I think I just decided to shut down my Insta account at the end of the year. Has anyone else given theirs up? What ways have you found to share your photos with friends/family that are far away? What have you regretted, if anything? What has it freed you from, if anything?

Amazon has now backed out of this project after sustained community opposition.
But this fight isn't over, and another tech giant could try to step into Amazon's place.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won.
But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.

87% of executives sitting at their desk writing prompts like "a picture of my wife coming back with the kids"
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

There is no incentive for a company to post a fake job ad. Where is the source on this?
Approximately 30% of all job postings are fake, with millions of ghost jobs making a tough hiring process even worse.
