There are studies that show increased productivity with multiple screens or larger screens, increased productivity with work from home, increased productivity with offices vs open plan, increased productivity with noise reduction.

They never have money for that tho.

Amazingly cathartic. So good. 👏👏👏

Democrats have a chance to flip the White House in 2028 and ensure fascism never rears its ugly head again. But only if they act with courage. Now.

Yesterday was #AskAConservator day and I didn't really get any questions on my other platforms. Let's try the Fediverse!

What would you like to ask a conservator?

(I try not to say "art conservator" because I don't usually work with art in the traditional sense. I'm an objects conservator so it's easier to think of it as "all things old and crusty" rather than fancy art.)

NEW: Security researchers found residential proxies running on the White House network, exposing other devices in the president's inner circle to cyberattacks.

The security company that detected the activity said "anyone buying proxy access could use it to reach internal systems."

Incoming chair of the House Education Committee sends a preservation of records request to ten federal departments!

Again, govt has to be funded in 36 days. This leverage is NOT just in January.

The Civil Rights Act of 1965 helped pave the way for Black voters, the beginning of dismantling Jim Crow.

But, it took a long time. It wasn't a magic law, just like Brown vs. The Board of Education didn't automatically desegregate the schools.

But, 1965. Think about how long ago that was, not too long after I was born. I came along just a few days after the famous "I Have a Dream" speech during the historic March on Washington.

Fast forward to now, where voter suppression in Georgia is still a thing, and Stacey Abrams has fought like hell to defeat most of it. And yet. And yet. We now have a Black woman as our Governor! That's earth-shattering change that only took almost my entire life to happen. Keisha Lance-Bottoms busted right through that glass ceiling, showering us with tiny sparkling grains, shining like diamonds in the bright new day. The future begins now.

Future Senator Abdul El-Sayed is coming out *swinging* 😆

"Donald, look, I know you struggled with my name. So after JD [Vance] swears me in January, you can just go on and call me Senator”

Vance is a purely political creature with no abiding policy goal beyond white nationalism. But he understands that any R with Presidential ambitions must start distancing himself from Trump. That's what he's gingerly trying to do here. And he won't be the last to do so.

What I learned driving the Slate electric truck prototype

After 45 minutes behind the wheel, I am more optimistic about the $25,000 EV.
