We’re facing a grim winter. I know it hasn’t even left our minds, but it’s worth remembering that we’re at more than 200,000 new cases of Covid per day in the US. Please keep that in mind as we get deeper into the holiday season.
Labor struggle at tech companies–enacted by both white collar and blue collar workers–is one of the most important, least known things happening in the news these days.

Google, of course, is in the news recently for firing an AI ethicist who pointed out problems.
