Seattle and Portland area folks:
These two sweeties need a new foster home by December 12th. One boy, one girl, both fixed. They’ll come with food, toys, and litter (also a cat playpen if you want it).
Would really appreciate any shares to cast a wider net.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

December feels like the perfect month for @mayorkwilson.bsky.social to try out the shelter system he is so fond of promoting. Would be nice if politicians actually knew what they were forcing unhoused people to go through when they tout shelter beds as a solution to homelessness.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

From my perspective? I’d rather universities simply not address the crisis at all unless they are fully committed to removing structural organizational stressors.
I’m exhausted by exhortations to self care and wellness from the same folks who are knowingly amplifying my grinding anxiety.

Any university programming intended to address the massive faculty mental health crisis that does not include investments to remove organizational stressors is bullshit. Faculty are not weak, they’re underwater for structural reasons ffs.

I like how they think that if we abolish white collar labor with AI and everyone starts working with their hands, it’s gonna be hammering shit at the masculinity factory and not wiping butt in hospitals, especially if immigration becomes more restrictive

Everything in these various threads resonates with a growing sense of confusion I’ve had reading various developer forums about LLMs, MCPs, etc; being that it seems like a large number of developers don’t seem to understand the basic concepts of programming and automation whatsoever any more
this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…
1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work
2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst
