Poetry and translation are both about picking the just-right word. But reading multiple translations makes an implicit case for celebrating abundance and variety.

As someone who spends lots of time researching online and doesn't love the environmental footprint of #AI, is there some way to turn off the AI overview on Google searches? Or should I be using a different search engine now??.

Bums me out because @Nike is a PNW staple, and I loved it there so much (/wanted to love everything about it), but--come on.
Last year, @Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.
