If you can, please donate to the Internet archive, links in the description. The loss of the archive would be devastating for dozens of reasons.

I know the Library of Alexandria comment sounds like an exaggeration. It absolutely is not. As of May 7, 2022, the Internet Archive holds over 35 million books and texts, 7.9 million movies, videos and TV shows, 842 thousand software programs, 14 million audio files, 4 million images, 2.4 million TV clips, 237 thousand concerts, and over 682 billion web pages in the Wayback Machine. It’s been operating since 1996, the loss of knowledge would be impossible to ever completely come back from.

The lawsuit from Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, John Wiley Sons, and Penguin Random House alleges there have been significant revenue losses because of their controlled digital lending program. For context, most libraries in the US also use CDL to distribute books to their patrons wherever they are but those programs are run through for profit companies and the libraries are often paying a very high fee to so their patrons can have access to digital books. The Internet Archive’s program is completely free but they have a policy of not digitizing and lending anything less than 5 years old.

The lawsuit goes on to note that authors often own larger shares of their revenue of digital vs. print copies of their books. So the publishing companies, seeing that they’re underpaying their authors, are essentially blaming a library for being free instead of bumping up what authors earn on print copies. The Internet Archive’s 5 year policy is designed to protect authors anyway as that’s when books typically make the most money.

Looming railroad strike could cripple US economy, transportation

Rail workers said they're seeking an improved time-off policy, as companies urge them to accept a deal.

ABC News

According to the article:

~1/3 of the foods transported in the US are done via train

~50% of the railway workers in America are about to go on strike by like. This Friday lmao. If they don’t have their demands for decent PTO/scheduling met (they’re working like 24 hour shifts almost, and every day off must be scheduled)

Most railroad workers are on call 24/7, and if they don’t come in to work within 2 hours, they’re severely penalized. Support railroad strikers. They deserve better.

In North America it is southern migration times for the birds that like to do that kind of thing. It’s a good time to go out to try to spot one in the leaves that are just beginning to change!
