Qasim Rashid, Esq.Your Labor Day Reminders:
•Unions increase wages ~11%
•Min Wage Should be $27/hour
•Reaganomics stole $50T from working people
•Corporations commit $50B in annual wage theft
•“Right to work” laws were made to uphold white supremacy
•Billionaire philanthropy is PR to distract from their tax avoidance
•Americans suffer worse inequality today than before The Great Depression

Bread and CircusesWho gets to enjoy all “the fruits of our labor”?
Not us. Not the majority. Not the workers whom we are supposedly celebrating today.

to prevent selecting hidden verts, I test them against a depth texture in the compute shader - works super well!
Cory DoctorowEvery artist, performer and creator on Patreon is about to get screwed out of 30% of their gross revenue, which will be diverted to Apple, the most valuable company on the planet. Apple contributes nothing to their work, but it will get to steal a third of their wages:

Charlotte ClymerPretty goddamn wild for the Supreme Court to give the president the powers of a king just three days before July Fourth.
Steve SilbermanThis AP tweet is an instant candidate for the Museum of American Fascism. Carve it in stone and put it over the entrance. It should be an enduring source of burning shame and embarrassment for the entire organization, as well as a warning to other media.
Matt BlazeTrump complaining that his criminal case was "rigged" was entirely predictable, but still insulting.
He had the smoothest, fairest ride through the criminal justice system that the State of NY has to offer. He didn't get perp-walked in handcuffs trying to hide his face under a jacket. He didn't spend 3 days in a Central Booking holding cell with his paperwork lost. He had a team of experienced, high-priced lawyers from the start.
Want to know what rigged looks like? Ask the Central Park Five.
