Republicans coming from states where Democrats win most of the time bring a special flavor of frustration to DC.

Do you mind helping me understand how your interest in systems and belonging, and Douglas take on “dirt” was related to the poster I pictured?

I’m going to read “The Rise and Function of the Holy Man in Late Antiquity", and try to write “The Rise and Function of the Rock Star Designer in Late User Experience" 😂 On a serious note, what is related (the title, the book, both), and how? FTR I don’t think the poster is pushing a purist view.

This admin has spent years going after science. It proposed the largest cut in NASA’s history, about a quarter of the agency and half of its science programs. But last month, a groundbreaking telescope left the launch pad anyway. And the story of how it got there is our good news this Sunday.

Outcomes take “hours”, too, and we don’t know how many. We also don’t know if anyone is willing to pay a percentage of the outcome, and how that will be calculated.

You have two choices: run away alone or team up with your people. Some might have to run for a while to find their people.

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

Same here. I only stayed longer than 4 years once, and I got bruised. I took it as "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Which is probably self-gaslighting. 🤣

It's not just going objectively bad, for the reasons you mentioned, but also subjectively, based on how much one is getting exposure to the real sh!t. It takes 3-4 years. :)

Valuable technology shouldn't make people feel happy that they still have a job, when the job is digging their own grave. Valuable technology should free time or add other forms of value, not keep people more stressed and busier.
