GM has started producing the Hummer EV SUV
General Motors has started production on the Hummer EV SUV at its Factory Zero in Michigan, according to Nicole Schmitz, a spokesperson for the company. The Detroit Press reported Monday that customers could start receiving their orders by the end of Q1. That lines up with GM’s FAQ stating that the SUV will be available in “early 2023.”
I won’t blame anyone who’s thinking, “wait, haven’t they been making these for a while,” because GM started delivering the truck version of the Hummer EV, which sports a five-foot-long bed, in December 2021. In October 2022, the company announced that it had made 782 of the vehicles during 2022, and said it had around 90,000 reservations for both the truck and SUV versions. Last summer, The Wall Street…
Valve’s unusual corporate structure causes its problems, report suggests
New Report Claims Valve’s Structure And Work Culture Is Hostile To Diversity
A new report alleges Valve leadership blocked internal diversity efforts and halted the company from making a statement on Black Lives Matter. Interviews with current and former employees elaborate on Valve’s famously unconventional structure and how that structure can prevent diverse hires and outright political stances.
YouTube channel People Make Games interviewed 16 current and former employees of Valve, trying to get to the bottom of the gaming giant’s opaque worker culture and decision-making. The video then explores Valve’s worker culture and its effect on the diversity of the company. On paper, Valve has a structureless system, without literal bosses or managers and one in which employees can make their own decisions. Valve also uses its own stack-ranking system, by which employees evaluate each other’s performance and, in an undisclosed way, shape the year’s salary and bonus for each employee.
Multiple interviewees claimed the company has a lack of diversity, even by the standards of the often homogeneous games industry. One former worker claimed that more contractors and lower-level employees were women and/or people of color. She said, “While I was there, there was never more than one female programmer at the company.” More women work in HR and finance, but also are locked into more defined roles and so cannot experience the workplace freedom that Valve touts.

‘OWLMAN’ WINGED HUMANOID Encounter in Iron Ridge, Michigan
An Iron Ridge, Michigan resident describes an encounter with a winged humanoid ‘Owlman’ observed in the late 1990s. It was seen again a few weeks later.
The following report was provided by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team investigator Manuel Navarette and posted at UFO Clearinghouse:
This witness commented on a social media post regarding the recent O’Hare winged humanoid sighting and the investigator reached out to discuss her sighting from 1997-1998. This is the witness’ report of the events of her sighting:
“It was grayish/white and it happened in Iron River, Michigan (Mineral Hills) where I was born and raised. Also, there was talk of alien abduction in the 70s-80s where I am not discounting this has happened to myself or my family.
It was like 11pm or midnight in 1997 or 1998 and it was not a large owl, it was FAR bigger. We were about to drive down a hill and there it was out of nowhere like it “swooped” down in front of the car. I want to say from one wing to the end of the next likely 8-10 feet wide. We both screamed and it flew into the darkness to our old mining grounds.
It’s almost like it came from behind us and then swooped in front of our vehicle. All I can say is that it seemed whitish gray and I’m not sure about the legs or feet. All I know is it was like a human-like body, and then a humongous wingspan. Far larger than an owl. It is just like if my husband who is 6 foot 1 would be flying and have a huge wingspan.”
When asked by the investigator if she had previously had any encounters, the witness stated that she had not. The witness then stated that a friend of hers had reminded her that they had another encounter approximately 2 weeks after the initial encounter.
“My friend reminded me there was a second time within weeks of that first encounter.
It was flying above our old village hall (again late at night) and immediately flew out of sight. We were almost at her house and she screamed saying, “There it is again!”
[The entity] Then flew off
Both were very fast encounters we never investigated further.”
The witness stated that there were no other encounters since then and the interview was concluded. I thanked the witness and encouraged her to reach out if she had any other details to add. If any other details arise, I will update and publish them on the website as well as forward the information to the members of the Phantoms and Monsters Fortean Research team. Manuel Navarette
