I appreciate not only the true grand wizardry of this post, but the fantasy of Honduran asylum seekers “setting up housing” in advance, paging through Airbnb listings before fleeing mortal danger at home for a thin chance in a nation of sociopathic bigots.
Homelessness increased primarily because of immigration (lots of people came to the US without setting up housing).

more negatively, "productivity" using AI to write code is not actual productivity. It's subprime technical debt. Cursor cranks away all night and spits out reams of code, you glance over it, it becomes part of your codebase. Good luck maintaining or debugging something literally nobody understands!

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

INBOX: Border Patrol is staging on Coast Guard Island just north of Alameda. Protestors are facing them down, and have already been subject to flash bangs and tear gas. One elderly woman had a projectile launcher aimed directly at her head from close range.
