California's highways represent an almost impenetrable barrier for wildlife. Soon, habitats on either side of the 10-laned 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills will be reconnected thanks to the world’s largest wildlife crossing www.popsci.com/environment/...

In my most curmudgeonly moments, I don’t see why presenting the prose output of a machine built on mass theft as your own scholarly work should be evaluated less harshly than old school plagiarism. Traditional plagiarists at least had to identify and evaluate the works they were going to copy.

It's that simple. 👇

HUGE: Autozone workers just won the first ever union at the company. Despite Autozone spending an estimated $210,696 and using every tactic in the book to stop just 11 workers from forming a union, the small shop in New York chose to unionize today. These workers will now join the @uaw.org.

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

Enjoying the weekend? Thank a union — and Frances Perkins.

If Paxton is too chicken to debate @jamestalarico.bsky.social why should Texans think he will do anything for them in the Senate?

Fuck the Supreme Court and do whatever it fucking takes to vote in this election. Have a plan and a back up plan because the GOP plan is to keep you from voting.

The algorithm is bombarding us with Darlene Graham clips, but what folks need to do is immediately after watching one of those listen to Annie Andrews. Here’s one. Night and day: Unserious vs intelligent and thoughtful.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

SHOCK: Mike Lawler was repeatedly pressed on CNN over why he won’t return $10,000 from Max Miller’s PAC amid serious abuse allegations against Miller. Lawler defended Miller, calling it a “private family matter.”

Zara Quinn: Mark Zuckerberg owns 2300 acres of land in Hawaii Jeff Bezos owns 462,000 acres across the country Elon Musk owns thousands of acres of land in Texas If they want data centers, build them in their own yards.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

The black lung rate in Appalachia is now as high as it was in the 1970s. Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung. Trump doesn’t care about miners’ health. He never has and he never will.

It's a small thing, I know, but there really is a difference between "palate cleanser" and "palette cleanser," and also, while we are on the subject, "pallet cleanser," and it is worth making the distinction

Nobody talks about how we're all paying $15 for sandwiches now and just pretending that's normal. Five years ago that same sandwich was $8. The price doubled and the only explanation we got was "supply chain issues" which apparently means "forever."

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Late 19th-century farm abandonment in the Northeast US led to the greatest forest recovery in the history of the world, as trees returned naturally. The result is that the region is 3 or 4 degrees cooler than it would otherwise be, mitigating climate breakdown. insideclimatenews.org/news/0407202...
