School teachers, health professionals & community support workers experienced negligible real wage growth between 2019-2025. Women working in nursing lost ground, their real wages falling by 1.3% over 6 years. Meanwhile, the incomes of men in senior management and finance have surged. 5/9

On average, women earn about 87¢ per hour for each dollar earned by men. The gender disparity in annual earnings is even more pronounced, with women earning 72¢ on the dollar. That’s a gap of roughly $19,000/yr, a total of $200 billion in lost wages. One of the biggest among peer countries. 2/9

As Bike Cars Overflow, Caltrain Bans Large Bikes and Panniers - Streetsblog San Francisco New rules heavily restrict the types of bikes Caltrain users can bring on board. Years ago advocates warned Caltrain that they weren't allotting enough bike space on the new trains

This need to be called out at perpetuating sexist policies that privilege bikers without child carrying, errand running responsibilities. Caltrain would never consider banning kids from trains, why is it ok to make it impossible for parents who travel bike to use the system?

The supposed explosion of the federal public service looks less explosive if you put it in per capita numbers and draw a line graph back to the mid-80s.

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

Why do perimenopausal & menopausal women in BC & Manitoba have access to free menopausal hormone therapy & we don't? National pharmacare.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I'm glad we have this because while I can scan 2-3 preprints with results to give them the ok to go online on BioRxiv, I could not take the time to toroughlly read (i.e. review) a Review-type paper, even before Gen AI.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

What in the absolute fuck is this.

For most of the history of cars, turning right on red was illegal due to its obvious danger, since drivers looking to their left for oncoming vehicles can't see pedestrians in the crosswalk on their right. It should be again.
