If anyone else wants to know what our labor stats look like over time (like I do), here are two charts from @usbls.bsky.social.
Outlets reporting on the monthly numbers should also include these graphics to show more context, because our job growth isn't growing.

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

SEATTLE ELECTIONS UPDATE: Progressive challenger Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell by just 91 votes, or 0.04%. About 6,400 ballots are left to be counted, which means the margin will likely remain very small, but Wilson has an edge. A machine recount is almost certain.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
