Chili dog musings for The Enterprise this week:
The chili dog is one of my favorite foods on earth. It's a wonderful reminder of our agency as human beings. "If we put chili on a hot dog," I think while taking a bite, "then we can do anything."

Cannot recommend this enough. Whether you’re a tech bro, someone who plugs menial tasks into ChatGPT, or someone vehemently opposed to exploitive AI tech, I believe understanding the global impacts of this technology is critical.

In Massachusetts, that number is 37%, up from 19% in 2019. Worse, the Greater Boston Food Bank faces a loss of $2.3 million after the cuts.
I spoke with someone this week who runs a food bank that orders food through GBFB. She hasn’t been able to place a cheese order in weeks because of these cuts

A growing number of adults in America are food insecure.
But Republicans just gutted food assistance programs — which may cause 22 million families to lose some or all of their benefits.
Trump also cut $1 billion from two programs that support food banks.
Unbelievable cruelty.

The timing of this is so suspicious. Obviously, the cynical reading is that the club protected him until his contract ran out. Ugh.

First week of Tlingit opera workshop #3 is in the books! It was a looooot but it’s really taking shape.
This week we covered Lingít language, Lingít movement plans, the history of the battles of Sitka, got a feel for the action happening in the libretto, and of course lots and lots of vocal work.

Bittersweet news. Last week was my last in Wrangell and this week begins a new chapter.
I’ll be Boston-based now and writing for the Enterprise of Brockton with @usatoday.com.
