Reverie and driving are *not* compatible activities

I don't think anyone will ever be better at being a rich person than Dolly Parton. She understood what the so-called effective altruists don't: the only way to create a good future is to nurture the present.

That really adds insult to injury, doesn't it?

Fun fact: Today is also a great day to support your indie bookshop. (And not just because a certain online mega-retailer is having its annual sale, but because indie bookshops need our support all year long to thrive.)

Omg the spiky fluff! (The fluffy spikes?) That face! Perfection indeed.

Apologies if they're on your radar already but are you familiar with @wholewashington.bsky.social and their efforts to create state-level universal health care?

Our culture doesn't acknowledge, so you're doing us all a service by writing about it, thank you.

Absolutely effing not. Please stop pushing this inevitability narrative; it really undermines your credibility.

Library databases too? It's all appalling, of course, but somehow that's extra appalling.

We totally should! How can we do that? It seems weird that SDOT was able to create a testing permit program without any legislation about it (not that Waymo even has a permit apparently) www.seattle.gov/transportati...

A tech ceo couldn't manage to join the meeting remotely? Nothing could say "I can't be bothered" more loudly than that.

Medicare for all would be great if Medicare were safe right now, but aren't you concerned about the risk of privatization through "advantage" plans and other means? Have you looked into supporting state-level efforts like @wholewashington.org?

What an amazing and useful thread! Late to the party but - I'm assuming she's read Marilynne Robinson? Also, for mysteries, maybe Sarah Caudwell or Leonie Swann?

I can only assume kickbacks, it's absurd. My employer is literally being sued over how badly the rollout went.

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal. On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums. bit.ly/4cXcPFj via @everylibrary.bsky.social

There's definitely colonialist baggage to that formulation (there are more modern versions for professional engineers now). Just saying that if the ethics went along with the job title, maybe the people building our society's infrastructure wouldn't have broken so many things along the way?

I just wish engineering codes of ethics had been as ubiquitous the title. My dad was an EE and he was so proud of having taken the Obligation of the Engineer.

Looking forward to this! I understand why the game doesn't allow players to chat with each other, but I do wish there was some limited way to interact. Sometimes I just want to be able to say "Well played!"
