Or in the cases I have observed, expected to do it in less time, but it takes more time to fix it.
And those of us who don’t use it still end up spending time justifying why we don’t OR cleaning up documentation.
Labor intensification coming with automation?
Who could have seen this coming?
Why was 15th century Italy a maze of polities and not unified like France or England or Spain?

One of my biggest tweets before leaving Twitter (which even got quoted on thousands of FB pages during the 2024 election) was about means testing school lunch. And I’m glad we don’t do that here. It only punishes kids.
All kids should eat.
Hey, hey! Money's tight right now and we just had to drop a ton up front to pay for a summer of day camps/childcare for our kiddos, so I'm looking to fill the gap with some extra freelance work.
I'll be reaching out to my usual editors with pitches, but if you've got extra work, reach out!

"But he can't do that"
Yes, like he can't do all the other things.
Again, it is not doomerism to ponder these scenarios, which are obviously illegal & unconstitutional, because the institutions are not self-enforcing, & he's gotten away with all the other things so far.

This is such a great, lovely piece. "It’s a carefully planned, smoothly run, unflinchingly inclusive and decidedly offline community that, with a bit of buy-in, can become home for just about anyone."
I will say also that there is a ton of sexism embedded in calling me a "gossip blogger," a constant refrain from critics over my many years of doing this. As is the routine implication that the mayor and I are best gal pals because she wrote five columns for me over two years.
KIRO Radio has still not reached out to me after running a ten-minute segment accusing me of fabricating my heavily reported story about allegations against a city department director by his staff, which their guest called "unsourced." They also referred to me as a "gossip blogger" nine times.
If you're so inclined, please contact KIRO and let them know (politely!) what you think of their decision to use their power to trash a longtime independent journalist and one of the only remaining people reporting on City Hall. mynorthwest.com/contact-us
A selling point to Millionaires is that it will allow more working class Washingtonians able to afford better housing and better education, meaning a better pool of quality workers for the job market.
Doom’s school district has free lunch and breakfast for kids and I am excited to see this will now extend to all kids across the state.
No child should go hungry.
The Millionaires’ Tax passed by the House represents historic progress in rebalancing our unfair system.
It sends significant dollars back to Washington families and small businesses.
It expands the Working Families Tax Credit to 460,000 additional households...

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.

Right, it's less an issue in and of itself, and more of a data point in "we shouldn't let this person control the nukes"
I cannot parse 9 out of 10 things that happen inside this administration. It's so satirical that you can't even satirize it. It's like a simulation designed to mock itself.
The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.
LOL, it wouldn't be a clown show without the clown shoes.
Subservience markers.
apparently he's got this thing for these shoes and he guesses people's size and orders them and none of them have the balls to say, Oh sorry these don't fit me!
