yes, i am saying this. literally this. i am saying that you should not care about water for 16,000 people when "growing alfalfa for export in deserts with approximately zero precipitation" is literally orders of magnitude more water and vastly more pointless.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

If rising productivity doesn’t buy ordinary people more time and resources for self-directed creation, curiosity, mastery, and play, then what the fuck was the productivity for? This graph is considerably more encouraging than “luxury consumption rose.”

something has flipped for me. I'm over saying "I'm not so sure" about posts like this. I am sure: the claim that LLMs eliminate all the friction that leads to learning is just wrong. don't we still have plenty to do? more than before! so there's no shortage of friction, it's just different friction

I don't know that it has been rigorously tested but the proliferation of those smart buttons for dogs and cats seem to provide evidence to the contrary. I also think there is some work with corvids here as well.

Holy hell Katie Wilson is on fire here.
Most of all, we must tell our own story.

It's time to discard the notion that Seattle is "dying." The forces pushing that narrative never wanted Seattle to succeed. This isn't a call to ignore challenges, but to tackle them with a sense of possibility, because we've seen what our city feels like when we pull together.

Cities are humanity's greatest invention.

Where opportunity, creativity, culture and democracy come together. Cities are where people who are different from one another learn how to live together. Cities are where innovation happens because people encounter new ideas, new neighbors and new possibilities. That's always been Seattle's story, and we have an opportunity, a responsibility, to write the next chapter.

Corn makes almost no sense as a mass produced crop though, regardless of the quality of the land, and soy beans are barely any better?
