Due to Republican Party cuts to Medicaid, @haiku_brian, in the misnamed #BigBeautifulBill, some rural hospitals are permanently shutting down. To try to slow or reduce this disaster, Republicans added $50 billion in rural health care funding. Here is an excellent explanation of this #healthcare situation and why $50 billion is not enough to correct the problem that Republican politicians caused with the #TaxCutsForTheRich bill that they passed:

A silver lining as our information systems melt down because of AI: spam is getting dumber, too.
The opening of two different emails this morning:
"You have been invited to join Norton-Anty virus charge 365 USD This charge will be auto-debited from your account"
"Dear Customer, Your N0r_t0n Protection Plan (Plan ID: NT85-ERT2) is now active."

Thanks to @stitchbystitchmaui for a fun afternoon yesterday, learning to make lei from yarn and eating tasty musubi from Feast Hawai‘i.

My friend Noel just told me about this. Love it.

Want.
I use a Kinesis keyboard. If I could get Linear A keycaps for it, I totally would.
I use a Dvorak layout with a keyboard that has Qwerty keycaps, so I don't look at the keys anyway.

@tmarble @pluralistic I pre-ordered The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI from my local bookstore. I *love* having a vibrant local bookstore: Morgenstern's Books in Bloomington, IN.

Nice piece on Paris's outgoing mayor, Anne Hidalgo.
“It was a tough battle. Very tough. But I strongly believed the roads had to be pedestrianised so that people could enjoy the riverbanks, and that once they were pedestrianised and people had that experience, they wouldn’t want to go back. And that’s what has happened,” Hidalgo says.

1. Freshly paved road on the commute to work; bike feels like it’s gliding.
2. Stopping by the *public library* and picking up this weeks read: Bullshit Jobs be David Graeber.
3. No work meetings until after lunch.#books #bookstodon #BikeTooter #libraries #library #bloomingtonin

How come I never heard about XOXO until last week? My pre-mastodon information sources let me down.
I watched Erin Kissane's (@kissane) talk last night, and then followed it by a bunch more. So much good stuff.
Erin's talk, especially, was inspirational. At some point I'll be ready to retire from my current gig at Backblaze, and be ready for a new project. Hopefully a meaningful project aimed to improve the world.

Good read on the computer systems at the Social Security Administration, and why DOGE is going to fail to modernize them. Written by people who know how to do this kind of work, and who understand the SSA.

I listened to this episode of Rumble Strip today driving home from chorus rehearsal. It's amazing how music can feed the soul in so many different ways.

I listened to the episode of Strong Songs about the music of Star Wars: Andor. Wow. Now I'm watching the show again, just to listen to the music.

I've been test-driving Claude Code. Bottom line: failure. It has not yet succeeded at getting to production code any faster; it tends to slow things down.
Even though I'm checking over the code it writes, and re-doing the many things it gets wrong, the process is not honing my coding skills. Normally, when coding on my own, I can feel it reinforcing and strengthening my skills. This article from 404 Media reports similar experiences.
Every time I've tried using "AI" coding assistants, it's added stress trying to corral them into doing something reasonable, clear, and maintainable. Like the 404 article said: "The cognitive overhead of switching between prompting, coding, checking the LLM's output is a massive energy drain." And there's also the stress of debugging code you didn't write, that simultaneously looks totally plausible and doesn't quite make sense.

I wrote to my senators over two months ago strongly advocating for due process for all. If we don't have due process, we don't really have rights; the government can just disappear anybody at any time.
I finally heard back from Senator Jim Banks. He did not address any of the points I made, or even the topic of due process and civil rights. Instead he sent a 6800-word screed vilifying immigrants and thanking Trump for securing the border. He finished by naming Renee Goode and Alex Pretty and blaming their deaths on activists:
"... sustained vilification of ICE agents and federal officers creates a dangerous environment. When elected officials and activists portray law enforcement as the enemy, it undermines public safety and puts officers and civilians at risk."
We need elected officials who support civil rights and democracy.
Write your senators and representatives and be sure to VOTE in November.

@liw @baldur I'm still waiting for a solid study showing that using LLMs for coding helps. I haven't even seen one that just shows that initial development of production-ready code is faster, ignoring maintenance issues down the line.
This quote from the essay hits the key point:
"Adoption of 'AI' during a bubble, without extensive study as to the large-scale impact of adoption, is the cognitive, productive, and creative equivalent to adopting a new wonder drug at scale without testing for side effects, complications, or adverse drug interactions."
