🚨 Action Alert: Protect Our Education & Workforce Programs! 🚨 On June 27, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies approved its FY 2025 appropriations bill, and it's time for us to take action! While there's good news with a proposed $10 million increase to the Perkins Basic State Grant, several critical education and workforce programs face significant cuts or elimination. 🌐 These cuts would drastically affect programs like WIOA Youth and Adult, federal work-study, Registered Apprenticeship, and ESSA Title I and II. As someone deeply invested in the success of our nation's logistics and transportation sectors, I understand the necessity of a well-rounded education and workforce system. Cutting funds to these pivotal programs threatens the broader career pathways and resources our industry relies on to build a skilled, competent workforce. 🚛🔧 We must ensure that Members of Congress recognize the far-reaching impacts of these proposed cuts. I urge you to make your voice heard. 📢 CLICK BELOW to tell your Members of Congress to oppose these cuts using the ACTE Action Center or connect via the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Our collective efforts are crucial in maintaining robust support for our education and workforce development systems. Let's work together to support the future of our industry and our workforce! 💼 #AdvocateForEducation #WorkforceDevelopment #SupportCTE

My colleagues in government are seeking input from the public (that's YOU!) about "making it easier for the public to engage with their Government, and to harnessing their knowledge, needs, and lived experiences to improve how Government works for them and with them." There is an open call for public comment (where you can be very descriptive) as well as a form for those who prefer that format for feedback. Please take some time to give your thoughts about engaging with and improving government, and please share this with individuals and organizations in your network. https://lnkd.in/gG8KfHAA

🚨 Alert! Claude has taken over my computer! So, I decided to give Anthropic’s Claude computer control mode a spin to see if it could handle a small but mighty task for me. Here’s what I tried: Task: Summarize two research papers on how intermittent fasting can boost gut health. Prompt: “Please search for recent research papers on intermittent fasting and gut health. • Find two relevant papers • Give me the title, publication date, key findings, methodology, and a 5-point summary of each • Please prioritize papers from reputable journals!” To my surprise, Claude took over, opened Firefox, browsed databases, and actually pulled out two detailed summaries. 🎉 I even recorded a video of it all because… well, it’s not every day you watch your screen run its own research party while you’re just the guy moving the mouse around, feeling like an excited spectator! 😄 The result? 📄 Got summaries from 2 research papers as requested using prompt, and now I’ve got a digital assistant for those smaller tasks that don’t need me to spend time on them. Although, I must admit, Claude operates at a very slow pace (cue the triple speed for the video), but hey, it’s early days. Speed will come, right? I am sure there will be lot of improvements and everyone will have this agent in their comp. 🤘🏻
