a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning. https://spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-syllabi/

In case anyone needs it for their syllabi, my statement in gen-Ai from the minicomic I made as a syllabus for class last semester. All online and printable here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

Do you take weather forecasts with a pinch of salt? Might be time to think again. When dense air sinks it creates ripples in the atmosphere like a pebble in a pond. An AI model that predicts these 'gravity waves' may prove to be a genuine crystal ball for climate.

Wow.

History of Guaranteed Minimum Income in America • RGMII A three-part history of Guaranteed Minimum Income in America — from early debates to the 1960s–70s near-miss and today’s modern pilots and experiments.

"does UBI solve poverty" experiments been going on since 1791 (not a typo) and they won't stop doing them because the answer keeps being "yes"

Sprawling abandoned airport to be transformed into $30BN city—here's how A 1.6-mile former runway, reimagined as a pedestrianized boulevard, will form the heart of the new city in Canada.

In the coolest possible way...

😃

You don't feel need half. For less than a quarter of that we could pay every single person a basic income of 70% of the average wage... What a huge boost to the economy...

Can confirm.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

the Black Panthers were right

She had to change the subject... She couldn't answer the questions without perjuring herself.

We have the resources to support each other, we've just been brainwashed into believing competition is the "natural" order.

We can rethink that any time.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished.

I have neighbors everywhere.

Iranian conspiracy theories are exactly the same as ours

This is old metoo bitch erasure

These tech platforms are basically pimps ... They don't *do* the work the customers value, they just take the money for it.

This is useful information about the nightmares happening after folks are detained.

I recently had the pleasure of talking with @justinkey.bsky.social about his new book The Hospital at the End of the World. I highly recommend the book. Hear more from its author on the @sbipodcast.bsky.social or our YouTube Channel. youtu.be/cUNXWp_onNU

Apart from the difference in art (the kids stuff radiates joy a life and the ai stuff is just dead on arrival) the kids experience something while doing it. That experience is communicated in the art too. Art isn’t just the end result.

How to dis-enshittify the world, with Cory Doctorow A chat with the SF writer, activist, and author about his world-conquering coinage and how workers can take back the internet.

Chatbots can write code but they cannot do software engineering.

Writing code and understanding the process are two entirely different things and have two entirely different goals.

One you can do the chatbot the other you never will.

You don't fire people over this.

We saw this in action during the pandemic....

UBI doesn't remove the desire to work... It just changes the incentives so folks can do what they're passionate about instead of just what billionaires will pay them for.

Anybody else wondering why the headlines right now aren't
"GOP Insistance on Funding ICE Threatens all Federal Operations"

The Republicans are in power. These headlines are assuming capitulating to whatever the GOP wants is the Dems duty.

I'm betting voters see that one differently

Thank you.

I suspected as much.
