@cdarwin@c.imEmployers slashed more than 150,000 jobs in October,
the largest wave of layoffs in more than 20 years,
a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas said Nov. 6.
From tech to Hollywood, retailers and utilities,
U.S. companies are intensifying job cuts and workforce reductions that began in 2024,
as they focus on cost savings and leaner operations amid a challenging economic environment.

@cdamian@rls.socialAnother year, another bunch of books.
I spend most of the year binging through thriller series that I had already had started in 2024.
The books I really liked were the newest book from the Slough House series, the spy novel The Persian, and Fundamentals of Software Architecture (even if I didn't finish it).

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caNow #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.
There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.
Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.
It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole — selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty — issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.
Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.
This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.
He must be stopped.
