this graphic here tracks two types of labor-- fire suppression and, kitchen and camp support, which is often the backbone of large, multiagency-multi-day events, but is nevertheless invisibilized by the media and the performance of executive clemency

For those wondering, these *incredible* infographics visualize how crews from different carceral facilities across Oregon come and go from fires. Importantly, this map of the Silver Creek event shows that much the work of prison crews happens *after* the fires, which you dont see on "Fire Country"

My hot take is that the reason Trump broke Silver, Yglesias, Klein, et al (to varying degrees) is because the brand of Very Smart Person TM was valuable when politics was interesting but more or less normal and they think their careers depend on pretending that things are still like that.

Even if AI is the future, “teaching classes in AI skills” is like “teaching classes in how to use a dishwasher” in 1952.

Perhaps this is implied (or I've misunderstood) but it seems like higher ed administration is still very un-lean, and that this is the area that many folks with a similar view had in mind

Anyway
