Elon Musk... he seems to be a bit of a d...head.  :pouting-face

QuoteElon Musk wants to screw over workers at SpaceX and destroy the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Just two weeks ago, Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against the NLRB, claiming the agency that protects workers' rights is "the very definition of tyranny."1 This is nothing more than a billionaire's tantrum at being called out for creating a hostile environment for workers and infringing on their right to organize.

If Elon Musk's lawsuit is successful, it will gut the NLRB's ability to protect workers across all industries. But Congress has the power to protect the NLRB.

Sign the petition: Tell Congress to protect the NLRB and increase its funding.

After SpaceX workers circulated an open letter criticizing Musk for, among other things, "issuing inappropriate, disparaging, sexually charged comments on Twitter," Musk fired them, which is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act.2 The NLRB filed a complaint, and rather than own up to his bad behavior, Musk has chosen to attack the NLRB with baseless claims that the agency is unconstitutional.

Elon Musk is opening the door for the total erosion of worker protections. Congress has the ability to ensure the NLRB remains strong in the face of Musk's frivolous lawsuit. We need them to act now.

A German review:

https://www.rollingstone.de/reviews/kritik-curepedia-immersive-beautifully-designed-z-biography-cure/

QuoteSein Lexikon ist so opulent (nahezu DIN A4, dazu vierspaltig pro Doppelseite) und dennoch so gut, dass die wenigen inhaltlichen (die Greatest-Hits-Sammlung von 1998 scheint bei ihm ohne ,,Wish"-Singles auszukommen) oder typografischen (,,The Twilight Garden") Fehler umso bedauerlicher sind.

Robert Smith liebt ,,Star Wars" und hat noch nie eine Armbanduhr getragen, das ist vielleicht Trivia. Etwas mehr als nur Trivia bietet das Kapitel ,,Shoes": Smith liebt, untypisch für Goth-Rocker, Turnschuhe. Aber er lässt sich nicht kaufen – von allen seinen Turnschuhen, das hat Price beobachtet, hat der Cure-Sänger die Markenlogos entfernt. Gut beobachtete Details – und nur vermeintlich eine Kleinigkeit.
