A 24 year old farm worker was killed by heat in Mississippi. No worker should be killed on the job, but we still have no enforceable federal heat protection rules. 1/

Supreme Court justices have always been political actors--silly to ever try and pretend otherwise--but the Roberts Court's commitment to protecting GOP and the wealthy from democracy has removed any pretense of neutrality or being "above" politics.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

Connecting this silliness with the Doctor Who silliness: I've always loved Van Gogh's paintings and really enjoyed the DW episode where they meet him. There's a line in that episode on what makes VG special: that despite his struggles, his art conveys an ecstatic joy in the beauty of daily life.

Those arguing for mass-adoption of AI art always seem intent on proving the wrong thing; that AI tech will change beyond all recognition. They seem less inclined to prove their argument's much wilder claim; that human nature, and all previous modes of taste, emotion and investment, will change too.

So the theory, I guess, is that Smith was rushing down to Atlanta to work with Willis on damage control, a meeting so serious that it had to happen in person but not so serious that it couldn't wait for a college basketball game?

It's enshittification all the way down--every industry is a monopoly/oligopoly and increasing numbers of elections are mere formalities so that no one ever has to try to convince you of anything. They just do what they want and ignore the outrage until they can't.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

Don't want to pile on the engineer who can't fathom studying history, but the lack of curiosity about the world, the need for everything, even knowledge, to have a point a to point b utility is part of what's killing us. The world is worth knowing for its own sake.

A lot of people noting the loss of the monoculture but when I started going to predominantly white schools in the early 90s, there was mutual shock as I met people who didn't know who Patti Labelle was and I learned there were radio stations that played Guns N Roses.

Has anyone bothered to ask the obvious follow up question? Either they're accusing insurance companies of fraud--ie, making up clients to get the subsidies--in which case DOJ should be all over it, or they're saying paying premiums without seeking healthcare is fraud, which, HOW, COLIN?

Hard agree. It's like we've spent the last 20 years undoing theory of mind and projecting ourselves not only onto other people, but other eras, cultures, political settings...I'm sure we always did this to some extent but either we do it more now or the people who do it are amplified above all else.

Didn't even see this story but Mom is preaching here...

Going viral has shown me firsthand that we have become quick to vilify people from a brief clip, filling in everything we cannot see with assumptions. You could see that my hands were full. You couldn’t hear my husband offer to help or hear me tell him to eat. You couldn’t know that he was grieving or that I wanted to take care of him that evening. If our viral moment contributes anything to the ongoing cultural conversation about how we judge what we see online, I hope it reminds us to be more comfortable saying, “I don’t know the whole story.”

The benefit of the doubt is more than an expression. It is a life philosophy that asks us to be curious before we are certain, to leave room for an explanation, and to remember that the person on our screen has a life beyond the moment we are watching.

As I get older and the "get off my lawn" siren song gets louder I try to stop and ask, is this a reasonable, necessary rule or an arbitrary habit/tradition? Interview etiquette is 90% arbitrary--irrelevant to jobseekers but entirely within the power of hiring managers to change/update/ignore.
