It’s been a minute since I have actually seen Craig in my feed. I feel good but overwhelmed and getting stuff done, just not the right stuff…

But as your unofficial #InfoSec Shop Steward it’s time to stop working for the man, pick up the things that lift you, hobbies, family, friends, or if you’re like me, the trees.

#unionize #techworkers now✊

Yearly reminder: May Day is the real worker's day, the one rooted in the history of labour activism. "Labour Day" is the made-up holiday they never tell you is even allegedly about *labour* and was, instead, invented to distract you from May Day.

#AI was never made to serve the people. It was made to cut costs for corporations. The valuation of OpenAI and its ilk was never calculated based on the amount of good and tangible wealth it could produce. Rather it’s based entirely, as if colluded on behind sealed doors, on the amount of money corporations would save on payroll, taxes, overtime, bonuses, benefits and insurance.

#Classwar knows no bounds and #Enshitification is but a symptom of a more sinister pathology.

And there’s only one way to stop it. #Unionize #unions #union

Factory jobs are not inherently good jobs. Even if Donald Trump’s trade policies bring factories back to the United States, workers need unions to make those jobs well-paying and safe — and Trump has been the most anti-union president in years.
