Measuring their sleep patterns over several weeks, the researchers discovered that it was surprisingly rare for all members of the community to sleep at the same time: it occurred for a total of only 18 minutes over a 20-day period.

I get the sense there may be more to this story.

The American Prospect: Why do you think your nomination met with such loud opposition? Saule Omarova: The moneyed interests are not stupid. They were not afraid that as comptroller, I would somehow “nationalize” all retail bank accounts or “destroy” community banks. They couldn’t care less. What they were most worried about is the positions I’ve taken over the years with respect to the balance of power and decision-making in the financial sector. That I’ve been a vocal critic of what I see as a disproportionate shift in control over decisions made on a daily basis in the financial sector, from the American public to private financial firms and their clients.

The central conflict between Kellogg and BCTGM is over the two-tier contract system, which promotes equal work for less pay by dividing workers on different pay scales according to their hire date. In 1983, American Airlines pioneered the two-tier system, and one year after its adoption, 39 percent of airline labor contracts had adopted it. Following the 2008 financial crisis, business mounted war against organized labor, and cemented the two-tier system across the auto, trucking, and manufacturing industries. Two-tier was pitched then as the only way to keep these companies in business. Today, in a much stronger labor market, it has ignited workers to go on strike across the country.

Turning again to 2020, the death drive reveals itself in the simple fact that, rather than dramatically change collective behaviors to prevent carnage and save lives, America doubled down on them.

The Metropolitan Police Department swiftly took action, moving to terminate Faunteroy. The Internal Affairs Division determined that “a preponderance of evidence existed to sustain the allegations” that he violated D.C. laws and department policy. Yet a powerful tribunal of three high-ranking officers, known as the Adverse Action Panel, overruled the department’s decision to fire Faunteroy. The officer in charge of the panel: Robert J. Contee, who has since risen to become chief of police. Faunteroy was stripped of his title of master patrol officer, a high-ranking patrol officer paid extra to “provide effective coaching, mentoring, and guidance to other officers,” but the department roster shows he’s since regained the title. Internal records show that MPD’s Disciplinary Review Division sought to terminate at least 24 officers currently on the force for criminal misconduct from 2009 to 2019. In all but three of those cases, the records show, the Adverse Action Panel blocked the termination and instead issued much lighter punishment – an average of a 29-day suspension without pay. These officers amassed disciplinary records for domestic violence, DUIs, indecent exposure, sexual solicitation, stalking, and more. In several instances, they fled the scenes of their crimes. The disciplinary files, obtained by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting and WAMU/DCist, provide a rare glimpse into how police officers avoid accountability and remain on the force, even after the department’s own internal affairs investigators have determined they committed crimes. The records have never before been made public.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot held a video Q&A this week to try and reassure developers about the company’s controversial new push behind NFTs, according to multiple sources who were in attendance. But they said his answers were vague and leaned on buzzwords like “metaverse” and “web 3.0,” leaving some as disheartened by the company’s latest PR disaster as before. The meeting, which sources said wasn’t yet scheduled when the week started, came after the official reveal of Ubisoft’s new blockchain-based technology called Quartz was widely mocked online, with a video showcasing it receiving over 40,000 downvotes on YouTube. Kotaku previously reported that developers at the company were critical of the rollout as well, with an internal announcement exploding in hundreds of comments that ranged from skeptical to dismissive. The initiative kicked off with three cosmetic NFTs in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, including one that required players to have logged over 600 hours in-game to redeem. Axios reported earlier this week that players have already started at least trying to resell the tokens on third-party platforms, for amounts that wishfully range from hundreds of dollars to the hundreds of thousands.
