You'll have a Congressional rep who will actually take your calls under consideration!

Also, great campaigns don't just ~happen~ overnight. They take months of work: recruiting volunteers, contacting voters, getting the word out. Help @kimberlyhardync.bsky.social get there by chipping in $7 today:
Help Kimberly flip NC-07!

If Rouzer also sent a letter calling on USDA to deliver SNAP benefits (y'know, money for actual FOOD), I must have missed it.

One notable passage:

"Once a machine enters the workflow, mastery may shift from production to appraisal. A 2024 study of coders using GitHub Copilot found that AI use seemed to redirect human skill rather than obviate it...The skill migrated from composition to supervision."

We only started the reunions ~13 years after graduation, the DnD over Discord a few years after that, but it's been really nice to reconnect. And now that I'm on the other side of desk, it's interesting to think about the ways BYU (deliberately) increased our odds of finding each other. /end

But being able to interact with a lot of other first years quickly and having overlapping groups that we saw pretty often helped us find each other & click.

We learned quickly which games we could play together (Pit, Sardines) and which ones we shouldn't (Risk). And four of us had a second year on campus before the LDS mission.
