First science I’ve seen suggests digital contact tracing is highly effective in controlling infection spread.

Pleasant surprise! But this makes me even angrier about how badly governments have botched this.

It is very 2021 that the best place to learn about Biden’s effort to bring worker protections to the gig economy is Teen Vogue: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/what-is-the-pro-act

Late capitalism alert: a logistics firm in my grocer’s supply chain got “hacked”, and now I can’t buy cheese in Holland.

Even in a newsletter for readers “pissed off about the climate crisis”, the idea it is irresponsible to boast about your meat consumption is too radical for the commentariet.

We’re screwed.

I’ve long looked up to Jeff Bezos as the architect of an effective organization. He’s also smart enough to understand how important organized labor has been to building a just society. Amazon’s handling of the RWDSU in Birmingham is utterly indefensible.

I’m hoping Apple hires @NanoRaptor to design a new M1-based Mac that is entirely enclosed in a keyboard.
