Ready to read about last week's End Times Fascism book talk with @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social, moderated by Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson? I'm fascinated by the idea that cities are inherently anti-fascist.

The problem with education is that it's a solved problem. Students need small classes, individual attention, lots of writing, lots of feedback, access to a well-stocked library, time to think, and time to talk with their peers. We just don't like the answer, so we keep trying to do other stuff.

Big win for Seattle consumers 🛒 Today we passed Fair Pricing legislation, banning companies from using your personal data to charge you more than the person next to you. Same product, same store, same price — no matter who’s pushing the cart.

Photo of a bag of groceries with the text “Seattle Becomes First City to Ban Algorithmic Price Fixing”

"Food is an essential good that's getting more expensive all the time," said Mayor Katie Wilson.
"People have been clear: they don't want their data fed into algorithms that decide how much they pay at the grocery store.
Everyone deserves transparent pricing and equal treatment, not hidden systems that charge some shoppers more than others.”
