Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay is not a radical idea. It's time for working people to benefit from advancements in AI, automation, and new technology, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street.

It's weird to see fatal crypto diarrhoea trending.

About a month ago, I started writing a thread on how swimming pools work, mentioning Cryptosporidium, but it just felt excessively boring, so I deleted the draft while chuckling about it.

Lawmakers promised Utah's toughest-in-the-nation DUI law would save lives. But the state set a new record for fatalities in 2022 (and 2021 and 2020).

The law isn't working because 0.05 doesn't target the real problem. #utpol
