turns out you can find some of william morris's speeches on the internet archive and they are entirely worth the reading
"how can we bear to use, how can we enjoy something which has been a pain and a grief for the maker to make?"

I started making myself punch cards for things (like flossing my teeth) and it's been great for morale
Okay but there should be more medals and ribbons and rewards for doing socially useful stuff let me in the parade of the vaccinated taxpayers
The steelworkers union used to give away awards for industrial heroism for folks who prevented a co-working from dying in molten steel and stuff and stopped because they didn't want people intentionally risking their lives for a medal.
Anyway, I have one at home.
Literally stolen hero valor 😂

Billionaire tax cheats do NOT want IRS agents who work at or above expectations!
NEW: US Treasury watchdog finds that of the 7,315 IRS workers terminated by DOGE, just 43 were documented underperformers. Almost 50% of the fired employees had been appraised as working at or above expectations. www.icij.org/news/2025/09... via @icij.org
Watchdog report finds overwhelming majority of IRS employees fired by DOGE for performance had no documented issues - ICIJ
A new report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration notes that the termination letters were written for the agency by the OPM and its cuts failed to follow internal IRS procedures.

Apropos of recent discussion about urban heat islands and trees, I saw a cool thing in a plaza in Warsaw. They had the usual street trees, but instead of confining them in a small square concrete box, they had put an artistic pattern of small holes in the sidewalk around them, filled with gravel.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;
most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!
well, we do. so fuck off.
