"Canada could become a tech export powerhouse, while making everything cheaper for Canadian tech users, while making everything more profitable for anyone who sells media or software in an online store. And – this is the best part – it’s a frontal assault on the largest, most profitable US companies, the companies that are single-handedly keeping the S&P 500 in the black, striking directly at their most profitable lines of business [...]"

Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking on Sunday's "Meet the Press," argued the cash crunch would end if Congress repealed the Social Security tax cap:

U.S. taxpayers only pay Social Security taxes on the first $176,100 of their annual wages.

He said that means the ultrawealthy like Musk pay the same amount into the program "as a truck driver."

JD Vance Gets Trolled on the Slopes: Protesters Greet Him with Brutal Signs: streetartutopia.com/2025/03/02…
Two protesters stand in a snowy cemetery holding signs. One person in a blue beanie and black puffer jacket holds a large cardboard sign reading "GO SKI IN RUSSIA TRAITOR" in bold black letters. Another protester behind them, wearing a gray puffer jacket and black gloves, holds a yellow sign that says "DEPORT ELON." The setting includes gravestones and bare trees in the background, adding an eerie contrast to the political demonstration.

I try to be more of a person (rather than just a brand) here on Mastodon, but sometimes it's hard.

Like, the world is falling apart in eight different ways, but also, I need to say "Here is a video about language in the Oscars." It makes me feel crazy.

But anyway, here is a video about AI & language in the Oscars. The event is tonight, and someone on my team went to the work of making the video, and the guest gave his time, so I should share it. Also, it's really good.

As the minimum in Antarctic sea-ice extent has now dipped below 2 million km² for the third year in a row, it is looking increasingly like this is the new normal. In the 10 years up to 2015 the minimum extent averaged more than 3 million km².

A second reason is that the normal seasonal fluctuations in sea-ice extent are of great ecological importance. The plankton bloom that occurs each Spring as the sea-ice edge retreats is the foundation of the Southern Ocean food chain.
A decline in Antarctic sea-ice extent will result in this Spring bloom occurring earlier and further south, with uncertain ecological consequences.

A third reason is that sea ice in front of ice shelves (parts of the ice sheet that flow out over the sea) protects them from ocean swell, and in some areas continuous sheets of “landfast” sea ice buttress ice shelves directly.

this is a great idea and I love your draft at wording for what the group stands for. Count me in!

Advocacy for self-employed people or hobbyists can sometimes be easier to establish because people yearn for the support more than those in more stable employment. Artists might have a template. In Ireland we have a 'representative group for artists', Visual Artists Ireland, who have political voice and do an amazing job: visualartists.ie

We also have a union called Praxis.

Hi friends. I work at Mozilla, but obviously not on privacy/legal matters.
Anyway, I have been unhappy about the terms of use debacle, as many others here. So, folks have taken their time to listen and clarify. The terms of use are being rewritten differently to put these concerns to rest. See here for more blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…

We’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern.
