I could be wrong, but I feel like the immigration debate spends too little attention on why decades of bipartisan consensus has encouraged a huge pool of under-protected, easily-exploited labor.

My lovely limited signed edition of @scalzi.com Constituent Service arrived safely today in the British Isles. The cover looks such fun but I might save reading it until @subpress.bsky.social send details of the e-copy, so the print copy remains unsullied. 😆

Mac question...
Let's say I'm using a Macbook for a presentation, with an external display to show slides etc; BUT I CANNOT SEE THE EXTERNAL DISPLAY because it's facing away from me...
