Vox Media, the publisher of news websites such as Vox and The Verge, in addition to New York magazine, will lay off 7% of its workforce, chief executive Jim Bankoff said in a Friday morning memo to staff.
Bankoff said the layoffs, which will result in about 130 people losing their roles, impacted multiple teams, including editorial. Those who had their jobs eliminated were notified through email, followed by a later meeting with a human resources officer who would discuss severance packages with them.
Bankoff told staffers the cuts were “due to the challenging economic environment impacting our business and industry.”
“We are experiencing and expect more of the same economic and financial pressures that others in the media and tech industries have encountered,” Bankoff said in his memo.
The union representing Vox Media employees said it was “furious” over the announcement.
“We’re furious at the way the company has approached these layoffs, and are currently discussing how to best serve those who just lost their jobs,” the union said in a tweet.

The decline comes despite the highest union approval rate in decades and a pro-union administration — and backs up earlier findings that while many workers view organized labor favorably, that doesn’t always mean they want to join its ranks. Gallup reported earlier this year that while 71 percent of Americans view unions favorably, 58 percent of non-unionized workers say they are “not interested at all” in joining a union.
Everyone should be forced to join a union.

Union officials pointed to union-busting efforts — not worker disinterest — as the reason for the drop. The House passed a Democratic bill last session, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, that would have reformed labor law to make it easier for workers to join unions, but the legislation stalled in the Senate.
“In 2022, we saw working people rising up despite often illegal opposition from companies that would rather pay union-busting firms millions than give workers a seat at the table,” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said. “The wave of organizing will continue to gather steam in 2023 and beyond despite broken labor laws that rig the system against workers.”

My first job was with a law firm that had coal companies as some of its clients. I heard some shit.
When I moved to Madison, the unions had some bill they were opposed to. So they posted goons at every entrance to the Capitol on the day the bill had a hearing. I had something to do in the Capitol and was heading over there with one of the partners. He saw the goons and wanted to turn around and wait until they left. I said, “Nah, what are they gonna do” and walked right past them.
You need to add shooting, arson, extortion, theft, trespassing, and I am sure I am forgetting something, to the tactics unions employ with impunity.
Whatever theoretical arguments can be made in favor of unions, unions as they exist in the US are criminal cartels.
Young patzer was a member of the most ineffectual union in history. We went on strike for seven months and settled for almost nothing. As a bonus, the union managed to lose a court case to the employer.
The Communication Workers of America, AFL-CIO; representing about 70 percent of the nonmanagement employees of companies affiliated with the Bell Telephone Company, recommended a nationwide strike in June 1971 when negotiations for a labor contract had reached an impasse. The strike began on July 14, 1971, and lasted only a week for most workers. In New York, however, the 38,000 union members employed by the New York Telephone Company remained on strike for seven months.
After spending the summer at the beach and blowing the money i had daved in my first year, i went back to work in September. Filthy scab I was, turned out to be a good move.
LOL. Pretty much, except I didn’t wait for a “settlement “. I knew something was wrong when I showed up to man a picket line on day 1, and the union honchos couldn’t figure out where to send anyone. But I did appreciate the summer vacation.18 years old, surrounded by young ladies in bikinis. Ah, youth.
Young patzer didn’t understand what was at stake, but blessed St Joe Beirne did. He got his national bargaining the next contract cycle, although he had already ascended by then.
A New York man convicted on charges that he moved into his daughter’s dorm room at Sarah Lawrence College and abused students at the elite school in a nearly 10-year scheme was sentenced Friday to 60 years in prison.
——-
An indictment and prosecutors alleged he targeted students after he moved into his daughter’s on-campus dormitory with her roommates around 2010, when they were sophomores, and began “therapy” sessions with some of the students under the ruse that he was going to help them with their psychological problems.
——-
One woman testified at the trial that Ray had convinced her that she had poisoned him. She became a sex worker to try to pay reparations to him, giving him $2.5 million over four years in installments that averaged $10,000 to $50,000 a week.
Prosecutors said Ray also physically abused the woman. During one incident, he tied her to a chair, placed a plastic bag over her head and nearly suffocated her.
What I mostly get from this story is that Sarah Lawrence needs to tighten up their admissions process. “Elite school” my ass.

While he takes a knock at the conformity of Asian culture and education here, do you really think a bunch of kids heading off to the Ivy league schools being told by a nice, strong authority figure would disobey these days even as the water rushed in? They all think they are individualistic snowflakes fighting the power structures of the Western world, but they are little bitches who do as told and want that boot on their neck. They want that comfort. They are too confused and lost to think for themselves. We have the worst of everything in education right now, I’d argue.

I am in no way surprised. Something conceptually similar is what first lead to my mistrust of government and authority figures at a very young age. I was in middle school less than 10 miles away from Columbine HS when the famous incident happened. As you can imagine, all the parents and teachers lost all touch with reason and lost their minds. With in a week, the school conceived of intruder drills and made them practice them semi weekly.
This was their plan. The basic layout of the school was four separate wings with common areas at the center. All four wings had two levels and the layouts on all wings and levels was basically identical. Each had 5 rooms that no doors or windows, basically just a wide opening and a 6th room that was usually the science room that had two doors. These doors were on perpendicular walls and each had a glass panel so you could see into the room. Their plan, no shit, was to force every student in the school into the science room in each pod and pack as many as we could into the back of the room – where the two windows on the doors could be easily punched out with the butt of a gun making perfect turrets with absolutely nowhere to hide, giving a potential intruder the easy ability to rack up numbers in the hundreds with no effort if they brought enough ammo. Complete lambs to slaughter.
I of course was sent to the principal’s office to be reprimanded for pointing out the obvious retardation of the plan and telling everyone they’d be far better off just scattering. That was the day that I first realized I was much, much more intelligent than every single authority figure around me. Even my parents told me I should have kept my mouth shut. Sometimes I feel like the sheep have it coming to them for their unquestioning compliance. Weirdly I’ve had that same feeling just about everyday since about March of ’20.

I learned authority figures are full of shit back in second grade when I wouldn’t shut up about getting a test answer wrong WHEN I WAS UNQUESTIONABLY RIGHT and I got sent to the principal’s office. That was back in 1977 and it still pisses me off when I think about it. Always question authority, even when you do trust their judgement. People in general do like to be herded though, Western people too even though Asians probably do tend to be a little more conformist.

UPS moved from their local hub a couple of months ago and building is scheduled to be removed. My guess is they discovered it in some crevice during demolition.
I shipped an AK riveter to a customer via FedEx and he emailed me asking why I sent an alternator. We did a shipping claim and the package was returned to me. Inspecting the box revealed that it had split open at some point in shipment. I assume other packages had been broken too and they just put the miscellaneous stuff into whichever box they fit in.
Punk song about capitalist
Capitalist pigs, they take and take
Leaving the rest of us in their wake
They hoard all the wealth, they live in luxury
While we struggle just to make ends meet
Chorus:
Capitalist, capitalist, you can’t take it with you when you die
Capitalist, capitalist, we won’t let you control our lives
Punk song about socialist
Verse 1:
We’re the working class, we’re the ones who toil
We’re the ones who build, we’re the ones who toil
But we don’t see the fruits of our labor
We’re just stuck in this endless cycle, a never-ending saber
Chorus:

We want to live in a world where everyone’s equal, you and me
No more bosses, no more greed
Just a fair society, where everyone’s in need

Here’s a fictional example of an emo rock song about Libertarians:
Verse 1:
Trapped in a world of control,
They tell us what to think and do.
But my mind is my own,
I won’t be a puppet, I won’t be a clone.
Chorus:
Libertarian, I won’t be held down,
I’ll fight for my freedom, I’ll wear my crown.
Libertarian, I’ll make my own way,
I’ll pave my own path, I’ll live for today.
Verse 2:
They say that we’re crazy,
That we want chaos to reign.
But all we want is our rights,
To live our lives in our own way.
Chorus:
Libertarian, I won’t be held down,
I’ll fight for my freedom, I’ll wear my crown.
Libertarian, I’ll make my own way,
I’ll pave my own path, I’ll live for today.
Bridge:
They try to silence us,
But our voice will be heard.
We’ll stand tall,
For individual liberty and justice.
Chorus:
Libertarian, I won’t be held down,
I’ll fight for my freedom, I’ll wear my crown.
Libertarian, I’ll make my own way,
I’ll pave my own path, I’ll live for today.
Outro:
I won’t be controlled,
I’ll live my life my way.
Libertarian, I’ll stand proud,
For freedom, for truth, for today.
Please be aware that this is a fictional song, and it’s not intended to reflect any real political view or to offend anyone.

I blame auto-correct and being on my fourth tech bridge today.
Never much of a Beatles fan, but the recent documentary on Apple made me a little more of a fan.
I do like the George Harrison stuff the best.
At this point, give me Yoko Ono over those Nirvana wannabes.
Ironically, I used to like them more years ago. I went in the opposite direction.
Agreed with you about Harrison, though.

Tragic news
Vox Media, the publisher of news websites such as Vox and The Verge, in addition to New York magazine, will lay off 7% of its workforce, chief executive Jim Bankoff said in a Friday morning memo to staff.
Bankoff said the layoffs, which will result in about 130 people losing their roles, impacted multiple teams, including editorial. Those who had their jobs eliminated were notified through email, followed by a later meeting with a human resources officer who would discuss severance packages with them.
Bankoff told staffers the cuts were “due to the challenging economic environment impacting our business and industry.”
“We are experiencing and expect more of the same economic and financial pressures that others in the media and tech industries have encountered,” Bankoff said in his memo.
The union representing Vox Media employees said it was “furious” over the announcement.
“We’re furious at the way the company has approached these layoffs, and are currently discussing how to best serve those who just lost their jobs,” the union said in a tweet.
Can the world survive without Vox “explainers”?
They can voxsplain to us in code.

I remember the day our company had to lay off close to 50% of the workforce because ObamaCare made our type of insurance illegal. When they get to the at point, they can cry. Until then, fuck those losers.

No, they are losing their jobs. You lose a “role” when one of the functions of your job is taken away.

He’s got a great point. After all, we do have a longstanding defense pact with Ukraine that we reneged on 50 years ago in order to buy cheap shit from Russia.

The decline comes despite the highest union approval rate in decades and a pro-union administration — and backs up earlier findings that while many workers view organized labor favorably, that doesn’t always mean they want to join its ranks. Gallup reported earlier this year that while 71 percent of Americans view unions favorably, 58 percent of non-unionized workers say they are “not interested at all” in joining a union.
Everyone should be forced to join a union.
Locally REI and Starbucks have had union pushes.
Gallup reported earlier this year that while 71 percent of Americans view unions favorably,
Because most people have no experience with them, and all they really know is learning how great they were in history class.
Everything you said, and I still think 71% is bullshit.
while 71 percent of Americans view unions favorably, 58 percent of non-unionized workers say they are “not interested at all” in joining a union.
Revealed preferences > stated preferences.
They don’t really view them favorably if the wouldn’t want to join one.
Some if it is “stick it to the man” thinking, with which I can sympathize, and then there’s the affluent white guilt thing where they support unions for the poor benighted brown people who are too stupid to comprehend their own best interest. Unions are good for those people, but unnecessary for the enlightened “knowledge economy.”
Sounds to me like polls are bullshit.
The biggest union supporters, outside of union bosses of course, are people who’ve never been in an union. “Having two sets of bosses is better than one!” – no one ever.
Union officials pointed to union-busting efforts — not worker disinterest — as the reason for the drop. The House passed a Democratic bill last session, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, that would have reformed labor law to make it easier for workers to join unions, but the legislation stalled in the Senate.
“In 2022, we saw working people rising up despite often illegal opposition from companies that would rather pay union-busting firms millions than give workers a seat at the table,” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said. “The wave of organizing will continue to gather steam in 2023 and beyond despite broken labor laws that rig the system against workers.”
Stop it. You’re killing me.
Uh huh. Let me know when management is allowed to blow up cars and beat people with baseball bats in furtherance of “legitimate business interests.”
My first job was with a law firm that had coal companies as some of its clients. I heard some shit.
When I moved to Madison, the unions had some bill they were opposed to. So they posted goons at every entrance to the Capitol on the day the bill had a hearing. I had something to do in the Capitol and was heading over there with one of the partners. He saw the goons and wanted to turn around and wait until they left. I said, “Nah, what are they gonna do” and walked right past them.
You need to add shooting, arson, extortion, theft, trespassing, and I am sure I am forgetting something, to the tactics unions employ with impunity.
Whatever theoretical arguments can be made in favor of unions, unions as they exist in the US are criminal cartels.

Justice
A New York man convicted on charges that he moved into his daughter’s dorm room at Sarah Lawrence College and abused students at the elite school in a nearly 10-year scheme was sentenced Friday to 60 years in prison.
——-
An indictment and prosecutors alleged he targeted students after he moved into his daughter’s on-campus dormitory with her roommates around 2010, when they were sophomores, and began “therapy” sessions with some of the students under the ruse that he was going to help them with their psychological problems.
——-
One woman testified at the trial that Ray had convinced her that she had poisoned him. She became a sex worker to try to pay reparations to him, giving him $2.5 million over four years in installments that averaged $10,000 to $50,000 a week.
Prosecutors said Ray also physically abused the woman. During one incident, he tied her to a chair, placed a plastic bag over her head and nearly suffocated her.
What I mostly get from this story is that Sarah Lawrence needs to tighten up their admissions process. “Elite school” my ass.
Kinda sounds like a school for elites. He graduated with honors.
“She became a sex worker to try to pay reparations to him, giving him $2.5 million over four years”

A wife and husband are having money problems. One day, they decide to have the wife work the corner to make some extra income. Later that night the husband goes to pick the wife up. He asks, “How much did you make, sweetie?” She answers, “I made $200.50.” The husband asks, “What asshole gave you 50 cents?” The wife replies, “All of them.”
This ties in nicely with what I posted below. These kids are at an elite school and couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag.

Free hockey sticks for life.
Latest Razor rant. An allegory on not listening to authority figures using the case of the Sewol ferry sinking. Hundreds of Korean students, the ones picked for the trip based on their academic achievements, sat below deck as the ship sank because that’s what they were told to do while only a small number realized this was stupid and disobeyed. The ones who disobeyed all survived. The ones who listened all died.
While he takes a knock at the conformity of Asian culture and education here, do you really think a bunch of kids heading off to the Ivy league schools being told by a nice, strong authority figure would disobey these days even as the water rushed in? They all think they are individualistic snowflakes fighting the power structures of the Western world, but they are little bitches who do as told and want that boot on their neck. They want that comfort. They are too confused and lost to think for themselves. We have the worst of everything in education right now, I’d argue.
I am in no way surprised. Something conceptually similar is what first lead to my mistrust of government and authority figures at a very young age. I was in middle school less than 10 miles away from Columbine HS when the famous incident happened. As you can imagine, all the parents and teachers lost all touch with reason and lost their minds. With in a week, the school conceived of intruder drills and made them practice them semi weekly.
This was their plan. The basic layout of the school was four separate wings with common areas at the center. All four wings had two levels and the layouts on all wings and levels was basically identical. Each had 5 rooms that no doors or windows, basically just a wide opening and a 6th room that was usually the science room that had two doors. These doors were on perpendicular walls and each had a glass panel so you could see into the room. Their plan, no shit, was to force every student in the school into the science room in each pod and pack as many as we could into the back of the room – where the two windows on the doors could be easily punched out with the butt of a gun making perfect turrets with absolutely nowhere to hide, giving a potential intruder the easy ability to rack up numbers in the hundreds with no effort if they brought enough ammo. Complete lambs to slaughter.
I of course was sent to the principal’s office to be reprimanded for pointing out the obvious retardation of the plan and telling everyone they’d be far better off just scattering. That was the day that I first realized I was much, much more intelligent than every single authority figure around me. Even my parents told me I should have kept my mouth shut. Sometimes I feel like the sheep have it coming to them for their unquestioning compliance. Weirdly I’ve had that same feeling just about everyday since about March of ’20.
That makes you a school shooting survivor. I’m surprised you can even talk about it.
I learned authority figures are full of shit back in second grade when I wouldn’t shut up about getting a test answer wrong WHEN I WAS UNQUESTIONABLY RIGHT and I got sent to the principal’s office. That was back in 1977 and it still pisses me off when I think about it. Always question authority, even when you do trust their judgement. People in general do like to be herded though, Western people too even though Asians probably do tend to be a little more conformist.

Too bad I ditched Netflix. They don’t seem all that sincere about trying to get me back either.
Well whatever you do, don’t just go download the series from a torrent at 1337x or RarBG, because piracy is illegal, immoral, and inexcusable.
Nor use Kodi at all as it is equally illegal, immoral, and inexcusable
Kodi on an Nvidia Shield TV is my goto.
Provides all the streaming services with their anndroid apps and local content from various sources with Kodi.
My old rig was Win 7 with Media Center and Kodi.
LibreElec (Just Enough OS For Kodi!™ ) on a RPi 4 pulling content from my NAS serves as my living room media center.
How does that do on H.264 and other HD codecs?
The Shield chugs through stuff on Kodi that my 4th Gen Intel with IGP used to stutter playing.
It’s got many codecs that it directly accelerates.
I think there is an OS that is just Kodi too, or might be LibreElec…can’t remember.
Since they have a domestic Japanese service they have the most live action Asian dramas of any legitimate streaming service.
This ties in nicely with what I posted below. These kids are at an elite school and couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag.

No, but is in 2023

Fucking A, dude.
UPS delivered a package today that was shipped 19 years ago. Tracking numbers on the shipping doc match the delivery one. Unreal. So much for 2nd day air. Luckily nothing perishable inside.
O.o
Don’t leave us hanging! What the fuck was in the package?
Obviously the time travel machine to send him back into the past so he can close the loop.
Appropriate
Graduate school acceptance letter.
I mean, look at how he’s dressed.
Just some stupid office posters for someone who moved on long ago.
UPS moved from their local hub a couple of months ago and building is scheduled to be removed. My guess is they discovered it in some crevice during demolition.
And you thought FedEx was bad
Okay, that was pretty good. Ironically, I went to FedEx today.
Wow. International?
Nope, just ordinary regional domestic.
I shipped an AK riveter to a customer via FedEx and he emailed me asking why I sent an alternator. We did a shipping claim and the package was returned to me. Inspecting the box revealed that it had split open at some point in shipment. I assume other packages had been broken too and they just put the miscellaneous stuff into whichever box they fit in.

Punk song about capitalist
Capitalist pigs, they take and take
Leaving the rest of us in their wake
They hoard all the wealth, they live in luxury
While we struggle just to make ends meet
Chorus:
Capitalist, capitalist, you can’t take it with you when you die
Capitalist, capitalist, we won’t let you control our lives
Punk song about socialist
Verse 1:
We’re the working class, we’re the ones who toil
We’re the ones who build, we’re the ones who toil
But we don’t see the fruits of our labor
We’re just stuck in this endless cycle, a never-ending saber
Chorus:
We want socialism, we want to be free
We want to live in a world where everyone’s equal, you and me
No more bosses, no more greed
Just a fair society, where everyone’s in need
Its been taught well I guess
How about a new wave song about capitalism
I loved the reaction with my kids when I played Little Girls….I know Elfman isn’t too happy of it, but whata song that was played enmasse
It’s a slippery slope to Buyer’s Market
I almost forgot about this one
The best possible libertarian punk song is Anarchy Burger
FY…TW has to be a contender
LOL
Here’s a fictional example of an emo rock song about Libertarians:
Verse 1:
Trapped in a world of control,
They tell us what to think and do.
But my mind is my own,
I won’t be a puppet, I won’t be a clone.
Chorus:
Libertarian, I won’t be held down,
I’ll fight for my freedom, I’ll wear my crown.
Libertarian, I’ll make my own way,
I’ll pave my own path, I’ll live for today.
Verse 2:
They say that we’re crazy,
That we want chaos to reign.
But all we want is our rights,
To live our lives in our own way.
Chorus:
Libertarian, I won’t be held down,
I’ll fight for my freedom, I’ll wear my crown.
Libertarian, I’ll make my own way,
I’ll pave my own path, I’ll live for today.
Bridge:
They try to silence us,
But our voice will be heard.
We’ll stand tall,
For individual liberty and justice.
Chorus:
Libertarian, I won’t be held down,
I’ll fight for my freedom, I’ll wear my crown.
Libertarian, I’ll make my own way,
I’ll pave my own path, I’ll live for today.
Outro:
I won’t be controlled,
I’ll live my life my way.
Libertarian, I’ll stand proud,
For freedom, for truth, for today.
Please be aware that this is a fictional song, and it’s not intended to reflect any real political view or to offend anyone.
Whoops only meant to copy the verse/chorus.
Did the chat bot add that line at the end and if so was it attached to the pro-socialism screed?
For the capitalist/socialist ones no it did not, however it could be that libertarian-ism made it put that there.
So that’s where Neil’s consciousness ended up?

Anyone that called him a hero. He should have retreated for a bit but every Conservative wanted to put him on a pedestal and he ate it up. I mean, he agreed to make a game called Turkey Shoot killing ‘fake media’ turkeys.
He’s a young man. He will learn as he grows.
Meh. He deserves to wag his pickle in in the faces of a few people after what he went through. It’s not like he’s going to be able to go get a corporate job.
AAAAGH!
For the love of God, Joe, STOP!

This is good.
beat Snake’s Revenge.
These euphemisms…
This Friday she’s inspired me to pull out my NES and finally beat Snake’s Revenge.
Awwww yeah!
It’s a weird name for the little guy, NES, but to each his own! Beat away!
Ya know. I have not heard about any visits from the red cross at any POW camps. WRT Russian-Ukrainian war.
Or Doctors without Borders…or any other aid organization…
Every single one of those aid organizations is owned by some national intelligence group or other. They do what they’re told to do.
