I couldn't care less about the police but the teachers unions, and unions in general I am supportive of.

All jobs should be union.

Not all, but he did win majority vote.

I think it's fair to say he's very must so is representative of us. No other president has gained the intense loyalty of such a high % of us that it's hard to argue he isn't a reflection of us.

It sucks.

Fair to be upset with how your taxes are being spent but that's got nothing to do with folks who don't have a job.

oh I know being poor *really* sucks.

I get being upset at paying taxes especially when we don't always agree with how they're spent, but it's crazy corny to act like you're getting the raw end of the deal here lol

if having a job and paying taxes sucks enough to complain about others who don't have a job then my advice is to quit your job, stop paying taxes and start living that good life

duh

I promise y'all I will get this updated with better content!

The plan was to add a bit here and there so it's always fresh but I got busy and underestimated the task.

I'll probably pause this today and boot it back up when I have a full month's worth of content.

Not many things satisfy me more than giving lectures to medical students applying to residency about labor rights and unionizing in residency

Student handcuffed after Doritos bag mistaken for a gun by school's AI security system Armed police handcuffed and searched a student at a high school after an AI-driven security system flagged the teen's empty bag of chips.

Ain't no way they're telling kids not to use AI on homework when the school itself and their thugs do.

How do we expect kids to learn in this environment?

please tell me they're bippin ice vehicles in sf i need a w today

...relatively friendly and less hostile than other cities. I think we'd struggle even if we did things right but we're not. We really need federal support to help keep folks in their own cities, which people prefer, and keep problems manageable.

there are ways to avoid jail time when caught it's still fairly lenient but ultimately it's forced treatment and facilities that are overloaded.

It's a mess. A lot of blame on local leaders of course but it would be hard regardless since Portland itself does attract more folks because it's ...

we just decriminalized so sadly no safe supply. overdoses continued to rise during our 4 years of decrim.

even today we are not able to handle treatment our facilities are all at capacity.

it's a big problem we just are failing at and sadly we're back to disappearing the problem to jails

Oregon had the courage to be first but not the courage to stick it out. We are still more lenient but trending backwards.

I just hope the next state that tries to do this learns from our mistakes. Decrim is good but idk if people were ready to see what the problems looked like in full

Sorry if I wasn't more clear. I think we're 100% on the same page. I suppose I was just saying that moves in the direction that we did I would hate to see it walked back because I believe in decrim/legal, but that will happen if expectations are wrong and proper support doesn't exist.

Be real clear: if you give a damn about climate change, Millard is not the candidate for you. It is _not_ penalizing drivers to build out ped/bike/bus infrastructure; it is actually providing more opportunities for people to get around that are not driving a car.

Oh I'm going to have to do this!

The next states should come prepared.

Locking folks up is not the answer, it actively works against our goals, so I'm not suggesting we do this. Just that we need to realize that in some ways things will get worse, as they did in Oregon, when we decrim because we will actually be facing the true problem.

I hope other states learn from this, because decriminalization and legalization are the path forward, but we need to be honest with ourselves that this problem is pretty bad and it's going to take decades to get us out of it. Some folks will never get clean sadly.

We decriminalized drugs here in Oregon and it didn't go well. I wasn't surprised. But I was sad the state gave up after only a few years.

The current approach to disappear drug users only obfuscates the problem with no real solution and under decrim the problems were just more visible.

That's a great find! I have one too I really need to make some ice cream again. You motivated me. This thing doesn't get enough use.

I created a tutorial feed to help new Bluesky users get introduced to all the tools that make Bluesky a great place to network with other healthcare workers!

Share this with your colleagues who are just getting started!

One of the best things about working on @graze.social is that fully 100% of the people I have met have had a sense of wanting to mutually lift one another up, and I think that's special and unique and part of what's happening in ATProto, and why I'm happy to push on this every single damn day ❤️

The graze discord is truly a joy and a pleasure to be a part of. I've met so many cool folks on there that have also been super helpful.

Big agree.

tony hawk turned me onto ska like so many other 90s kids

good times

I played a ton of ssx tricky. Although I've never been big into sports I do miss the wild sports games of the 2000s

I wonder if relegating SFH's to HOAs would be enough to limit their existence.
I could see this further incentivising more HOAs though which is already a problem in many areas where it's hard to purchase a home outside of one.
