Sharing some exciting personal news: I’m writing a book! About digital technology and the human mind. I’m excited to tell a story that anchors the reader in reality, when so much feels slippery and weird (and overwhelming and scary and oh jeez people are doing WHAT with Grok now??)—wish me luck! ✍️

I did not fully realize the *massive* progress that's been made in reducing death from cardiovascular disease in the US.
66% drop from 1970 to 2022 and 89% drop in heart attack mortality in the same period

an interesting phenomenon is that Mamdani seems to know ball a lot better than many of his allies
Inbox: State Sen. Jabari Brisport, a longtime friend and ally of Mayor Mamdani, is endorsing Antonio Delgado for governor.
Mamdani hasn't endorsed in the gubernatorial primary yet.
Gov. Hochul backed Mamdani for mayor, tho.
