Bingo. A properly funded and functional public education system, that teaches real critical thinking and let’s include media literacy while we’re at it.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services ( www.theguardian.com )

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

Thanks for sharing! I wish they had the date of publishing listed for this article. I get the feeling it was written 15 years ago, well before streaming music services existed. Would love to see them update this based on the latest technologies and services.

Probably not quite what your looking for, but I literally just came across this article about a potential general strike in 4 years:

“UAW president Shawn Fain on May Day calls on unions to prepare for strike in 2028”

https://www.al.com/news/2024/05/uaw-president-shawn-fain-on-may-day-calls-on-unions-to-prepare-for-strike-in-2028.html

“We are fully preparing to strike on May Day 2028,” Shawn Fain wrote in a proposal on May Day, or International Workers Day.

Fain said it is the only way workers can “win universal healthcare and the right to retire with dignity.”

[In an op-ed (https://inthesetimes.com/article/may-day-2028-general-strike-working-class) for progressive publication In These Times, Fain said the union’s recent auto contracts were all aligned to expire on April 30, 2028. He called on other unions to do the same as way to mass power to “reshape the economy into one that works for the benefit of everyone.”

“They want us to believe that corporate bosses gave workers decent wages, benefits and safer working conditions out of the goodness of their hearts. That justice and equality for people of color, for immigrants, for women and for queer communities were gifts benevolently handed down from above,” Fain wrote.

“But we know the truth. Every law passed, every union formed and contract won—every improvement made at the workplace—has been won through the tireless sacrifice of the working class.”

In the video description, the uploader mentions that X-men couldn’t be included due to copyright issues.

Mail forwarding doesn’t apply to all mail btw. For example, mail from the dmv.

After moving to a new place, I was expecting something from the dmv (had sent in the request months earlier before I knew I was moving). I had the mail forward in place, so figured I was good. I never received it, so eventually I called the dmv and they told me their mail is not redirected with a mail forward, and would just be returned to them.

I am curious if the same would apply to official election mail.
