From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

Related to mass federal firings today: If anyone out there in private sector has a need for a highly-qualified PhD-level wildfire risk modeler (or MS/PHD-level meteorologist), available immediately, please do reach out via email or DM! (Not for me, but trying to help others out.)

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

And too many of you follow him.

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

Was reading George Orwell on the Spanish civil war last night and this part stuck out.

This is a great thread but it neglects to mention that pre-colonization and the intro of sheep, the Salish and other Pacific Northwest tribes wove textiles out of the fur of a specially bred dog that has tragically gone extinct, called by westerners a "Wooly Dog" www.science.org/content/arti...

Come out to Cerebral Brewing on Feb 13 and help tell city council to eliminate costly parking mandates city wide! Let businesses make their own choices on how much parking they need and stop forcing affordable housing developments to spend $30k+ each on unused parking spots!
