It really is wild how much awful stuff is systemically baked into our language
When you think about it, the phrase “earning a living” is really quite vile.

PREDICTION: Once Israel gets their people back,
but BEFORE they release the 1000s of Palestinians they are illegally holding and let food/aid in unencumbered,
Israel will LIE (like it always does) that Hamas broke some rule and then Israel will start murdering Palestinians again
Watch for it.

Very interesting data that shows that bikes are twice as fast compared to motor vehicles in London city.
The average speeds of cars around London City is 10kmh (15kmh in Greater London). 74% of car trips are less than 10km.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.
Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”
Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

We tell students they need to develop critical thinking, creativity & communication skills.
But when I look at crap generated by consulting firms, formulaic responses from banks/telecoms, and flat sales pitches from firms selling whatever, what I see is a labour market for efficient blandness.

good read. as a pm, here's what you can ask when you're working on an agent:
What’s the user asking for?, What memory type does that need?, Which ops do we need?, Where will things go wrong?, How will we measure success?

Joining an event tonight, might burn through my entire social battery. But one of the talks caught my eye: research, AI, and how it’s all evolving.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
