The Writers Guild is on strike. Hollywood is closed for business. The union's bargaining documents reveal a cartel of studios that refused to negotiate on a single position. This could go on for a long-ass time:

The writers are up for it. A lot of people are saying this is the first writers' strike since 2007/8, but that's not quite right. That was the last time the writers went on strike against the *studios*.

1/6 Anyone still arguing if AI will take jobs or not, does not understand what's already here... and not to mention what is coming! 🤖💼🚀🔜 #AI #jobs #automation
The last time we saw something of this magnitude was during the Industrial Revolution when we invented machines to do work instead of horses, people, and manual labor. #IndustrialRevolution #technology #innovation
3/6 After the Industrial Revolution, people found other jobs to do, but the horses didn't... the horses were left behind. 🐴💔 #history #progress #change

How did #America become so powerful?
It's the American Industrial Revolution, stupid.

How did America do the #IndustrialRevolution?

Three main ingredients 1/ Stolen technology from Europe. Nobody knows better than #America how to spy and pilfer.

2/ Nationwide American slavery with cotton it produced catapulted American capitalism to international prominence by developing its trade, manufacturing, shipping, banking, insurance and other industries.

3/ Vast funds appropriated from illegal opium trafficking in China which Britain/West thrusted on China by war in the name of Free Trade.

Such capital financed the US Industrial Revolution, built the Ivy League universities, built the East Coast...

We are proud of our heritage as an industry but we are also proud of how different #mining is today from the past. The Drummond #coal mine in #Westville, #Pictou County, is an example of how mining has changed over the years.

#nspoli #cbpoli #novascotia #capebreton @TimHoustonNS ImageImage
Drummond was mined from 1868-1984 when underground mining ended. A surface mine operated in the 1980s and 1990s to complete extraction of the #coal and reclaim the site. It also recovered coal from the historical mine’s waste dumps as part of the environmental clean up.
#nspoli ImageImage
Today the former mine is acres of greenspace and parkland which includes a playground, pond, gazebo, baseball field and heritage signage. The reclamation also fixed subsidence issues so land left unusable by historical mining could be developed.

Astonishing article.He’s KILLING THE EARTH 4 GENERATIONS 😢🥀

This is the thickness of the #EarthsAtmosphere from pictures I took during one of #NASA’s Live Feeds from the #ISS!Trump wants to change how #Climate data is shown to Americans so that releasing CO2 looks less dangerous then it actually is #ClimateChange #ClimateAction is needed!
Here’s one reality, we should be spending more money to stay on Earth than planning to leave to go to Mars because Earth’s Atmosphere is no longer viable to sustain life. Research is important but Mars Doesn’t Have an Atmosphere. Millions of people can’t live there in 125 years‼️
