  • I’m in HR and am fascinated by the fact many union workers voted for and will likely again vote for Trump, despite it being so fantastically clear it’s against all their economic, legal, medical, safety and employment interests. The UAW is focusing on these voters right now, something like 50%(!) of UAW union members support Trump. Outside of misinformation, racism, xenophobia, or misogyny, I can’t see why they would vote for him or how their interests would align. Religion is an answer but of course, Trump is as religious as he is coherent.




  • Reading a book, Frostbite about the truly historically recency of constant, mechanical, cooling. I’m only a few chapters in and it’s a classic already, reminds me a bit of fast food nation.

    Humans have understood ice but didn’t master it until the last 150 years…really only a few generations and it completely changed what we eat, how we live and what we perceived as normal. There is a global food supply chain of cold storage and transportation that starts at a source and ends up in your fridge.
