An act of respect meant this NAIG team didn’t have to play so shorthanded

A basketball team from Minnesota demonstrated the true spirit of the North American Indigenous Games, when they helped out the team they were facing off against.

Bandcamp's workers in the USA are unionizing - CDM Create Digital Music

Bandcamp workers today announced they are unionizing under the name Bandcamp United (BCU). It's doubly relevant because this workforce represents everyone from engineers to journalists, working at a meeting point between music, tech, and gaming. And they're asking artists and labels to support them.
