Honestly, it was a little bit frightening
The best thing about having a bad local is that it’s ready to organize for worker power again. It’s far easier to turn around a bad union than to organize a new one.
I’m not talking about what could be. I’m talking about the political reality that surrounds us.
Maybe not the government or citizens, but war helps the congress members, the CEOs of the military industrial complex, and their families get fabulously wealthy.
I thought the new big thing in astronomy is watching the anniversary of a black hole eating a star 3 billion years ago
I keep telling people that union leaders are way more clever than they realize, but people keep assuming that O’Brien is working on the surface level.
The West Bank would turn into a “cash economy” that could benefit terrorist organizations that largely use cash to operate, the G7 official said.
This is exactly what they want. It’s part why Hamas exists, because Israel intentionally created it and molded it into an extreme militant group. Who knows how long they will wait, but Israel is going to invade the West Bank with this excuse.

I like to find news sources that analyze the story as well as explains where it fits into the ongoing situation, why it’s relevant, and has a reasonably accurate history of predictions based on their analysis. Since this is rare, I try to find a source that has 3 of the 4 to make it part of my news consumption. So this tends to include Democracy Now!, Some More News, Last Week Tonight, Beau of the Fifth Column, AP, and the like. A lot of the sources shared on lemmy, bar the NYT, are in that category

There’s no guarantee that the things that work for me will work for everyone. I just think people work too much and should take breaks whenever they’re able.

One of my tricks to extend vacation time on a PTO budget is to alternate the days between paid and unpaid, usually 3 days a week instead of the typical 5. 2 weeks can get extended to at least 3 by alternating. My approach is a hold over from working retail, where we had no PTO. The idea is that I wouldn’t be getting paid anyways, so I shore up the budget before vacation so the shortfall payday doesn’t create too much disruption
This is a good basic starter, but there’s so much more that can be done for efficiency and further reducing your impact while owning a house. These are a few off the top of my head:
For all intents and purposes, white phosphorus is a chemical weapon that causes chemical burns which means it’s use is highly susceptible to facilitating war crimes, even unintentionally. It’s use should be banned from war.
