I hope you can successfully make it past that feeling in lightning speed because youā€™ve done nothing wrong.

You have not failed, but it sounds like you have been failed. Sorry you are having to go through this - I hope that you are able to find something before then!

Deregulation? When the most important thing is profit over safety, so long as the damage does not exceed the cost of implementing safety measures, itā€™s a positive balance sheet. Profit!

My son teaches in an after school program. Heā€™s upset. He tells me today that heā€™s thinking a lot about the Nashville shooter and how if a shooter came into his classroom heā€™d have to give his life defending ā€œhisā€ kids.

Heā€™s 16.

Fuck that shit. He should be thinking about girls or boys, cars, kisses, weekend fun. Fuck. That. Shit.

General Motorsā€™ electric future doesnā€™t include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
ā€¦
The decision is intended to provide ā€œseamless accessā€ to the new Google-powered infotainment experience, including native versions of Google Maps, Google Assistant, Audible, Spotify, and more, GM says in a fact sheet explaining the new strategy.
ā€¦
GMā€™s move to restrict access to CarPlay and Android Auto, which is expected to begin with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, will help the automaker capture more data on its customersā€™ driving, listening, and charging habits. It could also help inform future subscription products, as automakers across the board are seeking to generate more revenue beyond just selling cars.

[eta] One more article about this, which seems to take the position that itā€™s NBD?

I am all for expanding digital access to scholarly worksā€¦ But cutting the physical book collection so drastically (and cutting jobs) is not the best way to go about that. A physical copy is not just about the aesthetics or the feel of a book - it is about the material culture of the book in general. Acting like one can easily stand in for another is pretty disingenuous. Or that cutting library staff will not impact service for studentsā€¦

Thanks. This is the hidden cost, right? As of dead children arenā€™t bad enough. The mental health carnage is very real.
