  1. This is the sort of thing that really pisses me off.
    Coles using Palantir to crunch huge amounts of data about its stores, workers and suppliers just feels wrong. We’re talking about a company best known for selling groceries, not running a surveillance operation.
    Thankfully people pushed back. More than 85,000 signed the campaign, shareholders got involved, and Coles has now said it won’t renew the Palantir contract beyond 2027.
    Maybe companies need to remember that not everything that can be monitored should be monitored.
    And that ordinary people still have a voice.

  7. the biggest shoplifters have payroll departments

    when a poor person takes from a rich institution, we call the police. when a rich institution takes from a worker, we ask whether they opened a ticket.

  18. I still remember that my therapist suggested something to me, like, not because I don't have anything to offer in exchange for money. It's more because my qualities are not being rewarded (honesty, patience, and many more).

  23. CW: CW: AI, strong language

    Really, I have had quite enough of AI being shoved into every bloody thing.

    AI is unethical. It kills jobs. It concentrates power and wealth in the hands of people who already have far too much of both.

    And yet a certain type of person seems to fervently believe that the answer to every conceivable problem is: MORE AI.

    My fridge has a door. It does not need a fucking chatbot.

    Fucking clankers. 🙄

  28. Colorado #Slaughterhouse Workers Ratify New Contract

    April 17, 2026

    On April 12, 2026, members of United Food and Commercial #Workers (#UFCW) Local 7 ratified a new agreement with the JBS Swift beef processing plant in Greeley, #Colorado. A #union press release announcing the vote — with 93% in favor — said the contract contained "all gains, countless improvements, and not a single concession."

    "This ... is a testament to the incredible resolve of our members," said Local 7 president Kim Cordova. "These workers stood together on the picket line for three weeks, through extreme weather, because they knew their worth and refused to be disrespected."

    “The company walked away,” Cordova told the crowd of more than 800 #workers from the day shift picket lines. “They believed that you would not walk out on strike.”

    But of the 3,800 workers in the plant represented by the #union, 94% did walk on March 16, marking the first major packinghouse strike in 40 years.[1]

    The workers’ action had an impact, according to the union. About 60% of the cattle earmarked for JBS went to competitors as the company tried to operate with the remaining hourly workforce and supervisors.

    “The problem is the way we are being treated,” Hector Vargas told World-Outlook before the April 3 union meeting at the parking lot. “To keep up with work means taking a beating. And you cannot go to the bathroom. They make you wait a long time — if they let you go.”
