  • After law professors attempt to unionize, university management hires union-busting law firm, BLG, to stop it. A sign of corporatization of a public institution.

    Jump

  • A sign? Lol, the signs were when boards hired MBAs for the last 40 years to run "non-profit" universities and colleges and suddenly it was all about growth, new buildings, rising tuition, and the loss of faculty power--you know the ones who provide the value in the institution?

  • Elon Musk is digging a car tunnel under Nashville, Tennessee to reduce traffic jams. Local officials are worried.

  • As a state, it's not worse than Alabama or Mississippi.

    Isn't that about as bad as it can get?

  • YSK that every single thing Donald Trump is doing was predicted in this article published right before the election

    Jump

  • NYT endorsed Iraq invasion even though there was no evidence of WMDs and the rest of the world was against it. Surprise, no WMDs were found.

    Interestingly, some companies did steal billions upon billions of dollars and we blew the national debt up. Strange that outcome ..

  • Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers

    Jump

  • "The exact technical mechanism remains under investigation, though the compromise occured at the hosting provider level rather than through vulnerabilities in Notepad++ code itself. Traffic from certain targeted users was selectively redirected to attacker-controlled served malicious update manifests."

    Fuckall they could really have done about it other than changing host providers, which they mentioned they already have as a result.

    Portland Mayor Wilson: ‘We have to be the biggest bike mode city in the nation’

    Jump

  • I hope this is in tandem with a state-level change to the "department of highway and oil interests development" sometimes referred to as the Dept of Transportation.

    Trimets funding and a safer and better world for bikers are mutually dependent, adding a protected bike lane here and there is nice for the brochure but doesn't change the underlying power and funding mechanisms for development which are largely owned and controlled by car-centric real estate developers which destroy safety absent enforcement and penalties severe enough to change behaviors.

    Free Buses? How About Expanding the Subway by 41 Miles Instead?

    Jump

  • "one group proposing"

    And I'm sure not a single one of this group is associated, employed, or funded by Subway Boring Tunneling Inc.

    This is where journalism has extreme power and should exercise extreme prejudice in the ideas it gives light to. There are probably dozens of ideas, many of which don't have corporate or political beneficiaries which didn't get a writeup for their cause. This is where access, privilege and "other side" really rears its head to disproportionately represent "choice" in the marketplace of ideas and distort reality.

  • Obamas call fatal shooting by fed agent a 'wake-up call

    Jump

  • Obama had the chance to appoint a SC justice and the right made a huge stink about him doing it in the last few months of his presidency after Trump was set to take over. Instead of doing it and understanding the significance, he/the Dems didn't push and let Trump appoint Cavenough. Meanwhile Trump appointed all kinds of people to no resistance in the waning months of his first term. Curious that, almost like they want it both ways.

  • That January 6th outcome and no action taken will historically be remembered as Chamberlain attempting to sate Adolf.

  • "concerning"

    "Questionable"

    "Debatable"

    "Some have described"

    The euphemisms for illegal, violent, deadly, thieving, criminal, murderous, bigoted, nepotistic and lying need to stop.

  • Obamas call fatal shooting by fed agent a 'wake-up call

    Jump

  • More moderated words to fight extremism. The obama presidency, ironically, was the fulcrum on which the country continued into extremism by Obama wasting 8 years of energy and time--including 2 years of supermajority in the senate--instead of responding to the increasing threat of the tea party and normalized extremist right wing positions and policy with matching progressive policy delivered. ACA was the only significant accomplishment and it was watered down and written by insurers, which meant it didn't fix affordability so made it easy to demonize as failed.

    We kept Guantanamo open, took years to get out of Afghanistan, didn't roll back the fascist surveillance state put into effect by The Patriot Act, didn't move against monopolies, didn't raise the fucking minimum wage...

    Obama's moderation with the true chance to set a different course was what helps trump and extremists after that. His naivete is as much to blame as anything for current state.

  • When you've either painted or allowed yourself to be painted yourself into a corner of powerlessness. Better to lean into letter writing, strongly-worded condemnations and "calls for" the thing you should have prevented in the first place, than actually doing something.
