I'm thinking it's past time to pull a @doctorow-style Walkaway and stop donating value to this site. (But I must admit, it isn't easy.)

The cop who gunned down Daniel Shaver while he was crawling on his knees, the cop who carved “you’re fucked” into the rifle he used, was reimbursed for medical expenses and given a $2,500/month retirement benefit because him shooting an innocent man gave him PTSD.

Today is the anniversary of the United Fruit Company massacre against striking workers on the Colombian Caribbean coast in 1928. Between 1000 and 2000 banana pickers were killed in a bloodbath. The company responsible is known today as 'Chiquita.'

I know everyone is dunking on this, and rightly so, but I genuinely think “I have observed that automation tends to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few all-powerful capitalists, and this disproves Marx” is the funniest thing I have ever seen on Twitter

A lawsuit! None of the people responsible for this will ever be arrested or prosecuted. When people say crime is a social construct this is what they mean: when a corporation accuses you of stealing you’re caged. When a corporation lies and has you caged, they hand over some cash

to save some nickels Hertz mindlessly reported 1000s of cars stolen a year and got dozens of people arrested and jailed. Their punishment is to settle a lawsuit, none of the Hertz execs responsible for ruining lives and getting people kidnapped and caged will see a day in prison

The rental car company Hertz announced on Monday that it would pay about $168 million to settle disputes with hundreds of customers who claim they were falsely accused of vehicle theft.

Next time this viral image shows up on your timeline, remember, transporting 4 ounces of pears from Buenos Aires to Bangkok to Los Angeles by container ship emits less CO₂ than driving a typical American car just 500 feet.

Transporting a four-ounce pear cup from Buenos Aires to Bangkok to Los Angeles by container ship: 30g of CO2 emissions—plus 1g for every 56 miles the pear cup travels by truck.
Driving a typical U.S. car two city blocks in Manhattan (north-south): 35.6g of CO2 emissions.
