A graph of manufacturing growth broken down by subsector
America has lost 116k manufacturing jobs over the last year—that's the fastest pace of job loss since the early COVID era and worse than any period from 2011-2019.
Big drops in the transportation (-49k) & electronics (-32k) industries drive most of the decline

I think this is extraordinary: the most recent Democratic Presidential nominee thinks our political system is broken and not strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles.
We have to understand that this crisis is bigger than one person, or one party--it's the entire system.

Best Smart Glasses in 2025
Devices like the Meta Ray Bans can be surprisingly good, but they're evolving fast, so you'll probably want to wait right now.
The best smart glasses is a weird category at the moment - also because there are different forms. And even if some picks are really good, the landscape’s going to evolve fast. Worth waiting till the fall at least www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

13. The Art of Immersive Storytelling: Strategies from the Gaming World, by Margaret Kerrison
I’ve thought about making my own immersive experiences. Reading this and overlaying thoughts of games and tech- it crosses into lots of my zones. I think I’ll be thumbing through this again.
