he's on bluesky!
NEW from me:
The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since early COVID or the Great Recession—the country has lost 65k jobs over the last year as manufacturing, transport, & mining employment decline, while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out

Yep! I'm going to keep using CashApp as long as it stays completely free and my tax situation stays simple. In my experience over the past few years, they don't even *try* to upcharge you for anything!

Yeah, a lot of current usage is just a way to say "virtue signaling" that isn't as right-coded. I do think it's appropriate when describing some legislative bodies. See: voting for but not whipping for a bill or not overriding a veto passed with a supermajority in CA.

I feel like AI coding's main value is for people like me (& prob you) who jump between languages for various projects and have to look up how to do something new. Asked the Alibaba one to make an excel filter dynamic based on the columns of an imported csv cleaned in R, and it did it perfectly.

??? This includes people who walk to a train that takes them to another train as "walk" too. Walking to a train station where I transfer to a bus would be "walk." Parking at a bus station that I take to a train would be a "personal vehicle." Because those are "the first access modes to transit."

Both are "reformed" former Iraq War supporters. Ezra was "young and dumb," and Matt was "21 & kind of a jerk." (I'm a tiny bit younger than both, and I was protesting & forum arguing against it in 2002). Their justifications also track with who they are now: the gullible Ezra and the contrarian Matt

I've also known their names for far too long. To me: 1) they were good relative to the existing Obama-era punditry 2) They slowly converged into updated versions of those pundits 3) Ezra Klein, at least, was always credulous towards any GOPs who knew anything about policy (See "Paul Ryan The Wonk")

As this is bluesky, I naturally wonder where the group ideologically left/right of the party and doesn't identify with it fits. I assume that's somewhere in the 'lookalikes.' but they are only:
(Dem) "Liberal", "Progressive," or not (GOP) "MAGA" or not.
Are there other pieces in the project on this?
