The title is, of course, clickbait, but this video from More Perfect Union is a great, balanced, and researched take on the supposed benefits to communities of building datacenters.

“Sixteen Tons” is catchy enough to hum without thinking—until the lyrics catch up with you.
Another day older and deeper in debt isn’t just a coal-mining line.

Important job update for me, because the hits just keep coming.

Wait, if I'm a DJ in that metaphor, am I *giving* the hits? Or just *taking* them? Depends on the genre, I guess. #LaidOff #UnionStrong #JobMarket

Whether you call it a lie or a gross exaggeration, #Trump and his regime have spit in the face of #workers with the details of "No Tax on Overtime".

It doesn't do what they promised, it effects less than 8% of workers, and it sunsets rapidly. For those who it may help a small amount, it's not the life-changing deal he claimed it would be for most of them.

Welp, we have our answer.

Three guesses what it was. (& the first two don't count.)

"We can encourage masking. We did get a bigger room."

🤦

fucking idiots.... (I'm sorry, but this makes me really angry....)

(That's okay. I have other things to do with my Saturday.)

I hope the union succeeds. Ubisoft needs to be held accountable. https://cwacanada.ca/2026/01/07/cwa-canada-vows-to-fight-ubisoft-halifax-closure-defend-workers/

@cavyherd Masking is disability justice and accessibility. It's also a labour issue. Workplace health and safety includes prevention of airborne diseases.

Keep pushing folks to #MaskUp

#DisabilityJustice #Accessibility #UnionStrong

So...my local union is holding a 3-hour in-person training this weekend in the next town over.

I've let them know I've decided that I'll consider going •IF• everyone will mask (N95 or KN95 or better).

I'm going to make this a hard line: if they can't be arsed to protect everyone's health, then I'm going to have a hard time taking them seriously.

Now taking bets on what the response will be. (I'm not optimistic.)
