This is a jaw-dropping, terrifying number. The CDC's workforce has decreased by 3,000 people since January.

Excited to get the driveway paved today! My back will be so much happier this winter if/when we get snow.

It's wild how many cold reach emails I get at work with some sort of AI integration component. Pre-AI boom, would rarely get such outreach. Now everyone has a solution for everything 😜

Second week in a row, find myself sprinting across the full length of the parking lot, up (and down) a few flights of stairs to barely make the train. Gonna be so worth it for that sweet, sweet office culture that awaits. 🫠

Back to 3D printing land. So much has changed with FDM since my time at MakerBot, yet it really seems like we created a pathway for so many companies to follow with the digital experience that pairs with the hardware.

This was a joy to paint! Pun intended.

The second half of the gift was painting up a JoyToy Ripper to also match his force. Even put it in its own specimen jar ;)

The guy with a brain worm dismantling our major disease agency a few years after a pandemic killed millions of people (and that still is very much still here and affecting people daily).

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 3d

More than 1,000 staff members at the CDC were laid off Friday, affecting units that respond to infectious-disease outbreaks, analyze science and health data to develop policy, and monitor the safety of employees.

Mass CDC cuts hit staff dealing with measles, Ebola and disease forecasting

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

NEW: The government shutdown is pushing air safety workers to the limit.

“One person can only answer, troubleshoot, and resolve so many problems at once,” an FAA employee tells @aarianmarshall.bsky.social:

The Shutdown Is Pushing Air Safety Workers to the Limit

Federal employees say that flying is still safe despite the strain on air traffic controllers. But expect even more airport delays ahead.

This is fucking why all the debate about age verification online is so important.

We have to push back at every single opportunity because it’s not *if* that age verification documentation leaks, it’s *when*.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?
