Thrilled that my upcoming book, Cleanup on Aisle Five, has received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.

“This illuminating debut turns Larson’s pandemic-era stint as a grocery worker into a rallying cry against corporate greed. Essential reading."

The same people are behind plans for a prison for unhoused people outside of Salt Lake City.

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

🚨NEW REPORT🚨 Research has found that the Cicero Institute, a right-wing think tank pushing anti-homeless laws, has deep connections to the prison and surveillance industries, and may stand to profit from the same anti-homeless laws they advocate for. https://t.co/Eo5iMGdV1e

Opened Google Scholar today and was immediately hit with “AI can now summarize academic articles.” Bro, it’s called an abstract and it already exists.

It was a pleasure to join the great Jonathan Evison on the podcast A Fresh Face in Hell to rant about late stage capitalism and the struggles of grocery workers.

Are they also changing their name to the University of Phoenix?

If you know how much Chicago (or any other university) is paying to give everyone on campus Claude Enterprise, my DMs are open. I am curious how this expense compares to the apparently “too expensive” humanities PhD programs Chicago has cut. I bet the answer is illuminating!

The U.S. is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure, according to new Census Bureau figures out today (https://t.co/2SonuBrsvY)

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

if we have a bunch of students using AI to write papers and professors are using AI to grade the papers and the only thing that seems to stay the same in higher education is the tuition and the debt then what the fuck are we doing

Due to billionaire greed 61% of Americans are cutting back on groceries because they can’t afford basic necessities anymore.

Underrated thing seemingly driving right wing psychosis in tech is that so many of the "founders" spent years committing innumerable workplace abuses at their small startups. When they grew enough to have HR and legal departments they heard "no" for the first time and flipped out

For The Guardian, I reported on how economic instability, skyrocketing costs of basic needs, and the job market are making it harder for young people to enter adulthood: "It’s never enough." https://t.co/ZMTyElwZQo

It’s impossible to overstate how dark, how grotesque, this is.

wemby being athletic at 7’5” is like the most bourgeoisie thing possible in NBA terms because he was born into biological monopoly and wields physical hegemony over workers

if leftist NBA twitter has any dignity they’d cheer for Brunson cause he’s a metaphor for the proletariat

[talmon joseph smith @talmonsmith]

From 2000 to 2025 the real earnings of full-time workers essentially went unchanged:

--real median weekly earnings for workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher inched up by only $51

--for noncollege-educated workers? even flatter: weekly earnings grew from $963 to to $980
