S Korean employees at Tennessee GM Ultium factory, making LG batteries for GM electric vehicles, mostly left the USA. They’d used the same visas & waivers that Hyundai employees had in Georgia. Curious if Taiwanese at TSMC chip fab in AZ are making escape plans… www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Chicago #NoKings march in Chicago photo thread. Superhero girl in the PR flag cape! It was definitely bigger than the April #HandsOff march, and thus much slower walking. Different route, this one ended across the Chicago River from Trump Tower. #NoKingsChicago #NoKingsDay #NoKingsProtest 1/X

How it began, and how it finished. Honestly, that looks more period accurate and impressive than most period movies & TV shows in the last decade. Not joking! bsky.app/profile/zeta...

14K of those 10Ks white collar cuts are from Amazon alone. Fortune: “Just as news outlets shared leaked Amazon documents suggesting the company could replace half a million warehouse jobs with robots, the e-commerce giant pulled the rug out and laid off 14,000 middle managers instead.” is.gd/Pg0hFt

Georgetown University Law Center’s Steve Vladeck @stevevladeck.bsky.social. Seems clear violating a federal court order leaves ‘em open to state prosecution. At least if the Supreme Court doesn't find a work around... www.stevevladeck.com/p/186-when-c...

USDA May 2025: In case of a shutdown we’re required to provide SNAP food benefits, and have funds set aside just in case. White House Oct 2025: What USDA shutdown report? We "believe" we're not allowed to feed the hungry. It's the law and we always follow the law.

@theguardian.com UK article on Reform Party (aka MAGA UK) leader Nigel Farage's claim that it's not racist if it "drives you mad" just to see Black or Asian people. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just nuked the AI idiot machine from my Google Drive. Also, unclick ANY Google Drive app you don't use. F'rinstance I don't make my slide presentations in GDrive.

Google AI results for “jack kirby world war ii” posted by Canadian webcomic artist André @andrecomics.bsky.social. Google AI claims that Kirby created the Sub-Mariner and Human Torch, fought in the D-Day landings but was not a soldier, and he created many comic books while fighting in Europe…

See also The Beastie Boys Story (streaming on Apple TV or on disc at your library). PS It was Ad Rock.

Great fun! As an 80s young teen the Dark Phoenix Saga was treated as the perfect pinnacle of superhero comics. It's wonderful seeing Kel & pals re-read the tale now, or read it for the first time ever! #Xmen #ProfXavierIsAJerk
