Goes outside *things like*

Whenever it goes outside helping people as a wildfire burns thru her hometown, I've observed the same thing, yes

But, if I'm blunt enough on social media, I may get moved up a stanza or two

Good paraphrase and expansion of the then they came for poem. The development down that arc is slower in the US because going after non-military/non-border feds and remaking the global economy and expunging every undocumented person and purging academia takes a lot of bandwidth.

The details on that article are brutal. One person has put over 5,700 applications in... and is still looking. Cedar passed 500 about a week ago.

Many US companies are doing little to no hiring beyond filing blue color jobs vacated by ICE.

Strange how everything doesn't fit in a twit

During Waldo Canon fire, Ann Coulter and I connected on twitter helping people impacted by the fire. When her focus was on helping people, she was actually a beautiful human. But, anytime her politics were triggered, her brain stopped thinking things through before purging onto the world

The thing I love about helping others with their pets is that I can get lost in it without anyone judging me for it.

In most spaces and roles, passion is not always understood or accepted, but everyone wants someone who lights up providing care to or encouraging good behavior from their pet.

Wildfire season is starting weeks earlier in California – a new study shows how climate change is driving the expansion Parts of California are seeing fire season start more than 10 weeks earlier now than in the 1990s.

New study: California’s wildfire season is now starting up to 10 weeks earlier than in the 1990s, driven by human-caused climate change and rising fuel aridity. Fire risk is growing fast.

Mark Zandi @Markzandi · 8h The economy is on the precipice of recession. That’s the clear takeaway from last week’s economic data dump. Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue. Unemployment remains low, but that’s only because labor force growth has gone sideways. The foreign-born workforce is shrinking, and labor force participation is declining. Telling is the economy-wide hiring freeze, particularly for recent graduates, and the decline in hours worked. Mark Zandi @Markzandi · 8h It’s no mystery why the economy is struggling; blame increasing U.S. tariffs and highly restrictive immigration policy. The tariffs are cutting increasingly deeply into the profits of American companies and the purchasing power of American households. Fewer immigrant workers means a smaller economy.

Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi says:
- We are headed for a recession
-The BLS data is totally reliable- for now
-The revisions are due to delayed reporting of DOGE govt layoffs
-Higher tariffs are dragging down the economy

Numbers on AI build out are mind-blowing. One new data center in Wyoming will more than double electricity consumption in the state. Majority of US growth is AI build out

One news program was discussing AI and the moderator asked if AI was a bubble. The response: of course AI is a bubble!

I’ve developed a new travel habit that is proving delightful.

Whenever I can, I avoid not only tollways/express lanes but also interstates.

The highways are more than merely less crowded. They’re more scenic and less stressful to drive.

So, I’ll be continuing this even if it is 5 miles farther.

"As the climate warms, new data shows huge swaths of land across the globe are quickly drying, threatening humanity’s supply of fresh water."

Today's NYTimes has a story about Iran running out of water.

The threat of #climatechange to civilization is terrifying. Yet we only fight and bicker.
