there are no doubt many good points being made online re LWB, but there's a line from John Aaron's op-ed in @soseaemerald.bsky.social that has stuck with me this week: "Find someone who disagrees, look them in the eye, and have the actual conversation over the water, instead of a keyboard."
wonderful story by @joshuasokol.bsky.social about AI in astrophysics (this is the first i've heard of "vibe physics"!) as well as the big questions AI brings up: why do we *do* anything? is it more valuable to just have answers, or to journey in the messy, human pursuit of knowledge?

Pfft, idiots.
INBOX: Journalists at the five McClatchy newspapers in Washington and Idaho (the Idaho Statesman, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald, Tacoma News Tribune and The Olympian) are calling a one-day strike today over wages and AI protections. That means no clicking on any links to their sites for today.

Thank you to @citycastseattle.bsky.social for this convo about what actually makes businesses thrive in Seattle, and which actually should. Spoiler: the ones paying workers decently, staying rooted in community, and not treating labor like a contagious disease.

@rvgreenways.bsky.social & FamilyBike Seattle are hosting a Bike Rodeo this Saturday a fun chance to check out cool bikes, meet neighbors, & enjoy a people-first Lake Washington Boulevard.
Perfect for families, bike-curious folks, & anyone looking for a good excuse to spend time by the lake.

What is the value of human beings studying the cosmos? For @michaelgreshko.bsky.social at Science, I dug into how practitioners of humanity's oldest exact science are metabolizing the latest developments in AI...and how it seems to be forcing them to wrestle with philosophical questions.
