Talking with my coworker about the mandatory hearing tests because we work in a factory Him: “I figure if I didn’t lose my hearing shooting drag along howitzers in Afghanistan in the 80s I wouldn’t have lost it now” Me, a fan of the podcast Blow Back: “wait, … where? … when!?”
There was a memorial dinner held in DC a month after Savimbis murder where right wing politicians and religious leaders eulogized him , this is absurd and bad and my take away from so many Blowback seasons is these people and their ideology are still around and seem to still be winning

The increase in fuel prices isn't what makes the US stand out though: price increases there are similar to other market economies. The reason that per capita costs in the US are so high is the high consumption of fuels per person and lack of progress in reducing reliance on oil.

That's not because of AI. That's a company eating an upfront cost to 'Right Size' their company for an incoming Recession.

Related to this I was developing an eco-phenomenological idea that I smashed this with an apocryphal Louis Pasteur phrase in to: The map is not the terrain, the terrain is everything And then I dropped out of grad school to move to California and work in a Tofu factory, so there’s my origin story
A loooong time ago I got a degree in geography and there’s a hip phrase a philosophical group of geographers, like I was, love: The map is not the terrain I also worked very briefly for the US place names and map update service in school We would sometimes have to “ground truth” things
Ok new frustration, my day job is managing industrial food logistics and supply chain stuff Which requires a lot of emails and things shipping on time Very Recently , I’ll email someone “did this ship today like you said it would a few weeks ago?” And I get what is clearly an automated response
In a professional capacity, the biggest impact AI has had is that it slows me down and makes everything more annoying bc I have to deal with my coworkers bad use of it Verbose emails, interrupting meetings to ask the AI, AI note takers who are wrong, breaking spreadsheets, people repeating it to me

LMAO he made his little AI too sassy and it hurt his feelings He needed help redoing an excel spreadsheet password and showed it a screenshot asking where to click and it was “obviously you’re not looking at the screen because you could clearly see this isn’t correct”
The coworker who sits closest to me is starting to sound like this but it’s chatGPT and he’s taught it to be “sassy” and is getting scared of “how smart it’s getting”

If you really thought that you'd credit Patrick Freyne, (@patrickfreyne.bsky.social) and you'd also be correct.

I was waiting for someone to mention this and also that as early as the 1930s the British intelligence and later American was largely funding the Muslim Brotherhood as a counter to Secular independent movements and communists, especially before and during Nasser
This is true. Qatar is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.
