Well said! Wealthy landlords getting handouts is not serving Tucson. Rio Nuevo should do more to support local tenants.

Screenshot of the University of Arizona Foundation's AI personality, "Cat" with the text "Listen up, meat puppets. I'm Cat. Engage. Or Else."
Meet "Cat", the U of A Foundation's AI mouth piece.
Cat wants your engagement and thinks it'd be a real shame to nuke your cities.
Terminator Robot introducing itself as Cat and asking what inspires your connection to the University of Arizona.
Anyone else get an unsolicited message from "Cat", the U of A Foundation's new Virtual Engagement Officer, asking what inspires you to connect to the U of A?
I'll tell you what I don't like, "Cat", is the foundation sending a bot after me instead of giving a human student from my department a job.
Good read here:

The Tucson City Council is again thinking about charging for bus passes, although locals are showing up to fight to keep transit free.

Screen shot of Apple Mail summary of a spam email, treating it as a priority.
Apple's email summarizing machine learning just saved me from missing out on 20.5 BILLION DOLLARS!!!
First things first: I'm buying an election.
βThe fact that LA could even aspire to host a βcar-freeβ games owes a great debt to Donald Shoup repeating, for decades, that just because you're going somewhere in this city, you're not automatically guaranteed a free parking spot when you get there.β

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal governmentβs payments system.
There is power in fighting back. We wonβt let up until this block is permanent.
In Washington state, a new bill would require the installation of speed limiters (Intelligent Speed Assist) in cars owned by people who drag race or go 20 mph+ over the limit.
Seems like a no-brainer. Why *wouldn't* you do this?
C'mon Tucson. Do this. Please.

Standard backpacking advice: Don't pack too much. Unused gear is the heaviest thing around.
FANTASTIC! Good luck out there! I've done 2/3 of the John Muir Trail and look forward to completing the last third some day.
26 days sounds about perfect. Not too fast. Good luck out there!
If it seems like homelessness in Tucson is worse than you've ever seen it, that's because it is.
Rent up 40% since 2017.
Wages up 4%, since 2019.
Unsheltered homelessness (folks sleeping outside) up 253% since 2018.

Scarf in progress shown on a wood coffee table. It is mostly white, with a red/white/blue striped section on the end.
A friend became a citizen of the USA earlier this month and I wanted to get her a red white and blue scarf. All I could find was American flag stuff or MAGA garbage, and all of it was hecho en China, so I had to learn to knit for myself.
This is the halfway mark! Chunky yarn is great.
18 gauge white wire, passing through green seals, and terminated with female (barrel) weather pack contacts.
Finished three wire weather pack connector.
My crimps bring all the girls to the yard.
The GM/Delphi Weather Pack connector is slick as hell. This is one end of the connector for a throttle position sensor on an International 3700 based school bus.
