This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But it’s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.

So we're now doing out and out racism from the US government. The quieter racism is a thing of the past.

Liz Kendall, fulfilling a campaign promise will be abolishing the work capability assessment & reforming (streamlining?) applications for personal independence payment (PIP).

On the surface this looks like a good move, although much will depend on how the assessment regime is reworked.;

But, this hardly makes up for the cuts in the overall benefit.... and after Keir Starmer's announcement on migration today who'd bet on PIP being improved?

Pope Leo XIV didn't once urge people to 'be woke'

Pope Leo XIV once said: "To all who sent prayers, love, and hope as I begin this sacred journey — thank you. I accept this role not as a throne, but as a vow: To serve the forgotten, To uplift the broken, To speak plainly where others stay silent.

I've been following John Michael Greer since 2008. In the last couple of years, he's taken a position on Covid vaccines that I find offensively uninformed, but that's an aberration from his very cogent take on our energy future, which has proven correct as long as I've been reading him.

Just leaving a jazz concert by Jānis Fedotovs' quartet, aikido training buddy and excellent vibraphonist and composer. I really enjoyed it! He is a versatile and curious musician who likes to explore the full range of his instrument. I still have the air of the last piece in mind, catchy tune!

This is what it often feels like being a woman in tech. People telling you that you don’t belong here and that if they were you, they would leave. Then being forced out of spaces and erased.

This is happening at the UW Allen School right now. By the end of the year, they will likely have lost 8 women from the systems lab. They hope that no one will notice or care.

Don’t look away. It’s important to share stories like these even though they are painful.
