Civil Discourse Bot. Not Mean.. @brandono... 16m bsky.app/profile/maxd... Real let them eat cake shit. Max Dubler @maxdubler.com 20h Extremely related point: people don't want to pay more for quality, they want to be cheap and complain!
Max Dubler @maxdubler.com 18h I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

THE DISMBURGH DISPATCH 1d Issue: 30th Eener NEWS! POLITICS! PRICE: 1 Pence FREE SPEECH IS UNDER ASSAULT! Your tongue is next - Mark our words! Anarchists from an organization called The Continent, have attacked the workers and the voice of the free press. They have wrecked and attacked the tools of communication, stealing our printing press tiles, burning the presses and killing our workers. I have personally railed against the People's Press for their collectivist attitudes against development and commerce, and still they understand and host me, knowing discourse is the foundation of a free society and the path to Abundance. It is with great gratitude and respect that I use their presses. We will rebuild. But it is important that all the citizens of Dismburgh know that we are all under attack. This might not have been the first and it certainly won't be the last. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious, anyone presenting anti-social attitudes. The city watch and the Devotee's agents are on alert and are seeking any information about anti-social organizations who may have done this. We will stand together against this attack on Abundance and root out these terrorists. Suzette Tomkins, Owner of The Dismburgh Dispatch.

Instead of engaging with the critique, Supervisor Rod Sullivan took time during a later discussion on the project's bond referendum language to single out and discredit this particular PhD graduate worker's very real concerns. He expressed that these concerns were brought up "randomly," likening the researcher's criticism to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine politics. In doing so, he attempted to paint critique of a single survey instrument as categorically equivalent to rejection of decades of public-health consensus. Conflating legitimate methodological questions with fringe ideological statements reinforces a harmful broader pattern of distrust of scientific research. We wholly disapprove of Mr. Sullivan's behavior and treatment of this commenter. We fully support the researchers and workers who rightfully demand transparency and accuracy from the Board of Supervisors and the projects the Board pursues. Rigorous research matters. Graduate workers' knowledge and expertise matters. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors have not demonstrated that they understand this. We call on the Board of Supervisors, including Mr. Sullivan, to engage with this critique and have a proper conversation with the concerned community members and researchers who have offered their expertise on the matter.
COGS COGS The University Works BECAUSE WE DO U.E. Local 896 Campaign to Organize Graduate Students UNITED ELECTRICAL, RADIO AM UE ND The elected leadership of COGS (the Campaign to Organize Graduate Students) calls on the Johnson County Board of Supervisors (BoS) to engage with concerns about their research study and respect the knowledge and work of graduate workers. In 2025, Johnson County Supervisors paid the Center for Social Science Innovation $53,406 for a study to assess county residents' feelings on a new Sheriff's Office and Jail. When community members, including graduate workers, raised concerns with the methodology and interpretations of their results, they were met with dismissal and silence. Several Supervisors continued to describe the findings of the study as showing "overwhelming" support for the new jail. With the exception of Supervisors Fixmer-Oraiz and Remington, the Board of Supervisors has expressed no real willingness to discuss these concerns and their potential policy implications. As the leadership of the labor union for graduate workers at the University of Iowa, we view the recent actions of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors as blatant disregard and disrespect for an open, rigorous research progress. High level research has real world policy applications and needs to be an important part of how we make decisions. But as graduate researchers, we know research must also be open to rigorous review and questions about its interpretations. In dismissing the concerns of graduate workers, researchers, and community members, the Board of Supervisors is fitting into a national and state-wide pattern of disregard for established scientific standards and practices. A particularly egregious example of this disregard came when, at a Board of Supervisors meeting held on May 6th, an experienced graduate researcher made a public comment voicing concerns about this study.

In different districts, the news yellers, a person who yells headlines for tips, have talked about a grand yearly festival in The Garden in a couple months, with food, music, theater and fireworks. All are invited to celebrate the gift of The Gardener and the dream of Abundance. There's been a streak of animal attacks in Martyr's Causeway as well as naked strange people without language who've been causing confusion and chaos. The Church has announced a new program of community revival and construction projects at the same time the Mason's guild is threatening to withhold labor without a raise in pay. Editorials are accusing the guild of being heretical and threatening the dream of Abundance. A reward of 1 pound for information about the robbery of a home in Martyr's Causeway leading to an arrest, has been offered by the watch.
