CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Hey so, if you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps ICE agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with ICE and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.

I seriously cannot wait until PHM comes out on Blu-ray. I bought the digital copy and it keeps buffering because of my crappy Internet service.

If Google and Meta are paying for a democrat's ads, you can bet that candidate is going to vote in favor of building more data centers. Not falling for it Pulido!

Come see The Comedy of Errors this weekend and next weekend at Fullerton College in California. The students worked really hard on this one! #theatreSky May 15, 16, 21-23 at 7:30pm #theatre

You know what I miss? Going to any website and not immediately having to choose not to share my information, then closing another window asking for my email for newsletters, then another pop-up asking if I want to use Google to sign in. Can web devs please go back to straight up html? Thx.

Please come see The Comedy of Errors playing at Fullerton College in Southern California. May 15 & 16, 21 thru 23 at 7:30pm. Matinee on the 23rd 1:30pm #TheatreSky

This is ridiculous! As a former cruise ship worker, I know how valuable shore leave is. We get a few hours to grab a souvenir, shop for things we can't get onboard, and then return quickly. Cruise ship passenger: ICE detained crew upon disembarking San Diego share.google/gHN2laAQFSmJ...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail. An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.

I know conspiracy theorists are excited by the news that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk doesn't match the rifle ballistics, but I'm betting it's something simple like someone swapped the rifles so they could say they own the gun that actually killed him. My own little conspiracy theory.

A friend of mine leaves for Saudi Arabia in two days and I'm wishing his work project gets canceled so he stays. But I still want to dog-sit for him, even if he doesn't leave California.

We could have been leading the world in clean renewable energy sources, but instead we're being dragged into a war over oil. Again. I hate this administration.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I will not be watching the SOTU speech tonight. Instead, I will watch the highlight reels of Trump mispronouncing words and the summaries of fact checkers showing how many times he lied.
