quote [ “It was a slave camp,” says one man sent to a chicken-processing plant run by Christian Alcoholics & Addicts in Recovery, where unpaid workers handle chickens that go to Walmart, KFC and Popeyes. ]

quote [ Several legal advocacy groups on Monday filed a whistleblower complaint on behalf of a nurse at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center documenting "jarring medical neglect" within the facility, including a refusal to test detainees for the novel coronavirus and an exorbitant rate of hysterectomies being performed on immigrant women. ]

quote [ A grassroots Internet movement called "the small Internet" is afoot. Here are ten commandments that I would like to see largely obeyed on the small Internet. ]

quote [ Life is short, as everyone knows. When I was a kid I used to wonder about this. Is life actually short, or are we really complaining about its finiteness? Would we be just as likely to feel life was short if we lived 10 times as long?
Since there didn't seem any way to answer this question, I stopped wondering about it. Then I had kids. That gave me a way to answer the question, and the answer is that life actually is short. ] I came across this the day before Chadwick died so it was still rumbling around in my head when I read it.
