The world of professional services has long relied on contractors to fill in for assignments and projects that might not be a part of the course of daily work, but are essential work nonetheless. Today, a startup that's built a marketplace to make it easier for freelance developers, designers and others with technical skills with those job opportunities is announcing a significant round of funding to expand its business.
Malt , which provides a way for developers, data scientists, designers, project managers and others working in related fields to connect with fixed-term job opportunities in their fields, has picked up €80 million ($97 million at today’s rates), money that the company plans to use to expand its business to more markets.
Battling climate change and climate misinformation at the same time - Marketplace
So far, most of our conversations about disinformation have been about politics, the 2020 election and, during the pandemic, misleading posts about COVID-19 and the vaccine. Facebook and Twitter have become more aggressive about fact-checking, labeling and removing posts or accounts that misinform the public about those two topics.
Erin McAweeney: Those pivotal moments create this drumbeat of climate misinformation that is spread not just from that core climate denial group, but from these adjacent groups. The QAnon groups, the conspiracy groups, and also the conservative groups converge around climate misinformation when all of their vested interests align. And it reaches such a farther audience than we would normally see this core climate denial group reach on a regular basis.

Nashville music industry says city could do more for reopening - Marketplace
Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge is a self-professed ’70s-inspired “dive,” with a modest stage and a less modest disco ball. The roughly 100-person venue shut down mid-March 2020, and stayed that way for five months because Nashville's capacity limits made it too costly to reopen.
Now that things are starting to open again, co-owners Amy Dee Richardson and Daniel Walker wish the city would step up and better support music venues.
"I would like to see some more help coming from the government in the observation that, 'Hey, we are Music City, so let's go ahead and protect our musicians, our artists and the venues that support those musicians more,'" Walker said.
