Academic workers are rising up.

Roughly 5,000 grad student workers at Stanford announced today that they're unionizing with @StanfordGWU.

This is the lowest extent ever observed since the start of the satellite record in 1979.

[SomethingWithHeartburn @thecassan]

Let’s make private jets illegal- they say an individual won’t make a significant impact on co2 emissions but what if you’re rich and take a private jet everywhere… if they want privacy make an airline for the rich and famous but cmon can’t they carpool?
