Chili dog musings for The Enterprise this week:

The chili dog is one of my favorite foods on earth. It's a wonderful reminder of our agency as human beings. "If we put chili on a hot dog," I think while taking a bite, "then we can do anything."

Cannot recommend this enough. Whether you’re a tech bro, someone who plugs menial tasks into ChatGPT, or someone vehemently opposed to exploitive AI tech, I believe understanding the global impacts of this technology is critical.

As @karenhao.bsky.social proves, this industry is an empire.

In Massachusetts, that number is 37%, up from 19% in 2019. Worse, the Greater Boston Food Bank faces a loss of $2.3 million after the cuts.

I spoke with someone this week who runs a food bank that orders food through GBFB. She hasn’t been able to place a cheese order in weeks because of these cuts

Alaska friends - See this with a friend!! Regardless of if you end up liking this or if you end up hating this, I can't emphasize enough how important this movie is to see with someone else. Leaves you with SO MUCH to talk about.

The timing of this is so suspicious. Obviously, the cynical reading is that the club protected him until his contract ran out. Ugh.

First week of Tlingit opera workshop #3 is in the books! It was a looooot but it’s really taking shape.

This week we covered LingΓ­t language, LingΓ­t movement plans, the history of the battles of Sitka, got a feel for the action happening in the libretto, and of course lots and lots of vocal work.
