[sad trombone] PA raised, Berlin now

Well I was at the Agentur für Arbeit today and they told me that I have to use AI to get a job and there are no jobs that don’t use AI except working at a Kindergarten.

The Handpicked Berlin newsletter is a garbage pile. “Rent caps are bad” “the Ubahn is filthy and smells bad (read: I don’t like being near unhoused people)”. And all the jobs they post are for AI companies.

“Every generation of professors has complained that their students cannot read. The lament is usually overblown, but data have caught up to anecdote & what I am seeing in my classroom is no longer a hunch. There is a measurable, generational collapse in sustained reading and writing…” - Tyler Jagt

This video speaks to what most women know to be true. “All men”…. It’s a system built specifically for them. #WomensHistoryMonth

Posted by a friend on Instagram. Yea, I see the resemblance to the other nine men. Taking it in seriously. During #WomensHistoryMonth, I can personally reflect on this, and feel amazed at how women have made history despite this built in disadvantage. Backwards, in heels, and harassed.

Out of 10 men , one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent.  None of them speak up. Later, none of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective , the laughter, the silence , the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say "most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harassed women, but that most men helpmprotect the system that does.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
