I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...
"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc
Headline from one of Brazil's biggest newspapers that reads: 
Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) warns the government and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) about the 'critical' level of escalating US pressure against Brazil in the elections.

i actually lol'd at this part. how do you even satirize this!! archive.is/vqWUf
screenshot of two paragraphs from the article that reads: Jenny Maxwell, general manager for education at Superhuman, the A.I. company that makes the popular writing app Grammarly, told me that we are living through a “burn it down” moment for teaching and learning. Educators who try to withhold A.I. writing tools are essentially announcing to their students — “consumers,” she called them — that their coursework is irrelevant to the job market.
She did acknowledge that some basic, human writing skills remain valuable. Students need to write well enough to have a sense of which A.I. text suggestions to accept and which to reject, she said. Ms. Maxwell also insisted that creativity in writing would persist, because people would still want to express their personal voice and style.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org
WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January. 

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.
