The Largest Health Care Strike in US History Is Set to Begin Tomorrow
Tomorrow, 75,000 health care workers are set to strike at hundreds of Kaiser facilities across several states in the largest such strike in US history. Their primary grievance is low staffing levels, which unions say are hurting patients and workers alike.

What *I* find "very disturbing" is Disney's unwillingness to treat the workers who keep them in business fairly.

Wisconsin governor's 400-year veto angers opponents in state with long history of creative cuts
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ partial veto that attempts to lock in a school funding increase for 400 years drew outrage and surprise from his political opponents. But it’s just the latest creative cut in a state that once had the “Vanna White” and “Frankenstein” vetoes. Wisconsin governors have the most powerful partial veto power in the country because, unlike in other states, they can strike nearly any part of a budget bill. That’s exactly what the Democratic Evers did on Wednesday with a two-year state budget passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature. The move is expected to be challenged in court.
While I really want to go "I told you so" to all the people who held out on Twitter and are just now moving over to the Fediverse, I will resist the urge and offer a more productive and welcoming "Welcome to the Fediverse!" instead
Trying out GNOME Web and damn I actually really like it. It's not my primary browser or anything (at least not until WebExtension support is finished), but I'm still going to be using it quite a lot. Web's performance and design are just incredible, and the Firefox Sync support is really neat to see outside Firefox.
