Meanwhile, fires are still burning across the state, though no new blazes had been reported as of Tuesday morning, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center. (Kai Uyehara / Seattle Times)

The "AI is coming for jobs" narrative contributes to a scarcity mindset that destroys worker solidarity. I think we can look at anti-trust, tax policy, regulation, consumer protection, labor rights, and rights to housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without mentioning "AI" at all.

After being raped by a man on my hall sophomore year, I couldn’t leave my dorm room for weeks and failed several classes. I had to take out student loans so I could retake those credits. We almost never talk about the financial toll of campus sexual assault on survivors.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

Very little fanfare in western media regarding this. The latest US (+coalition) deployment in Iraq ends after 12 years at arguably (albeit for different reasons) the most unstable time in Iraq since the height of ISIS. It's hopefully a step in the right direction for Iraq and it's people.

Seattleites are most concerned about traffic safety because we all experience it regularly: narrowly missing getting hit while walking in a crosswalk, seeing people using center turn lanes as their personal speedway, etc. Most people also know someone who has died or been seriously injured:
