As I was saying: "The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages."

The Trump admin is going after subsistence rights of Alaska Natives, in part by lobbying from the safari group representing sport hunters. This is part of a larger move building against Native land rights in AK (re: mining, oil). You don’t have to be Native or a resident of AK to leave a comment!
Dr. Kat Napaaqtuk❄️@napaaqtuk.bsky.social · 10mo agoAlaska Natives depend on subsistence hunting for food & to retain cultural practices/knowledge of our land. We are worried a review of the Fed Subsistence Management would affect subsistence hunting. This blog includes how Natives want to contribute, links to submit comments, and a template letter.

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

People who are fed easy (but not great) solutions to their problems tend to get lazy. People who get intellectually lazy (like chatgpt users) are not exercising their brains. ChatGPT users get stupider. In the end it's those of us who won't use AI who will get the shit done.
Antonio Freyre - Merlino Games@merlinogames.bsky.social · last yr.I've witnessed people I know get dumber very quickly because they use ChatGPT too much. They go from only asking about code to asking how to answer a basic email or even use it during work calls. It doesn't make them more productive, just unreliable and disfunctional.
New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

Today while covering the Paramount ICE stand off an ICE vehicle rammed a barricade and then into a crowd of protesters. The feeling that consumed was the same that I felt watching the towers fall on 9/11. I vomited. My hands sweated. I felt like my bp dropped through the floor. I broke crying.
My god god have mercy on our souls ICE went at full speed ramming the crowd
