Our entire economic model is insane

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

Anyone figured out how to disable or revert out of this new Nano Banana forced image text system on #Android?

The change sucks, beyond even just the AI shit.

"To refuse work is to put the entire system in danger." ~ President Snow

Which is exactly why a work stoppage is a vital part of rebellion.

I'm good at helping people find information and community, same reasons I was a decent RA before...

Also, and I know this reason irks a lot of annoying people in the field, but I like books...

So I figured, why not libraries?

Pays better than any bookstore jobs I can find 🤷‍♂️

This crosswalk on Grove St (or maybe it is Gold Star by this point) is a scary place to be a pedestrian, let me tell you

I just almost got hit by a huge truck, honking and angrily slingshotting around two other lanes that had stopped and waved me out

We need a flashing signal at minimum here

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.

Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

This is great news. 📚
