Ughh. More "AI will save us". Computer scientist/consultant who presents himself as expert on absolutely everything. Lost me at "the most important thing to neighborhoods is coffee shops..." I won't look for his citations.

But I am excited to know AI will help us have more coffee shops!

was talking to someone recently who praised her "change" and I questioned whether it was mostly strategic and self-serving and not a significant "change of heart" or conversion. This person clearly thought i was being too cynical as if that was the problem...sigh

Renowned data scientist @alex-pentland.bsky.social’s new book "Shared Wisdom" is a hopeful treatise on how AI can help to advance, not harm, the human condition. Listen to him on @middayonwypr.bsky.social:
'Shared Wisdom': A top AI expert considers how the potent tech can help us heal our polarized world
Author Alex "Sandy" Pentland offers a compelling counter to popular foreboding about AI's impact on human civilization: using AI, he writes, we can build more dynamic, open societies.

Should also add that right before she quit, Marjorie Taylor Greene passed a bill through the House to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She is not a moderate. She is still super right wing. She just felt Trump no longer could accomplish her goals.
“Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong.” Read the inside story of how Marjorie Taylor Greene went from zealous Trump cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic: nyti.ms/3Lbzi88

Trump looked pretty rough today -- note that both of his hands are discolored

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!

So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵

Always feel bad for the dogs classified as “nonsporting” breeds.

It’s not like they are always grumpy or something.

… and to extend this. He probably gives one of a few canned talks wherever he goes, so no prep required. If I do an invited talk, I usually end up needing 15-30 hours to prepare for the topic/audience/local context. (If it’s a book talk I’ve done before then perhaps 4-5 hours.)

Ezra Klein is cashing in the right way
"In what data the government has so far released, covering the first half of the blitz, a Tribune analysis found only about 1.5% of those detained for immigration-related reasons had been convicted of a violent felony or sex crime."
Chicago resisted. Protests came with a price. Bruises from pepper balls and fits of sickness from the tear gas. But also the shattering of illusions and loss of faith that what they witnessed could not happen in America. It did and is happening in America www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...
64 days in Chicago: The story of Operation Midway Blitz
President Donald Trump’s federal immigration enforcement operation led to most surreal autumn in Chicago history. What happened during those 64 days will be remembered for a long time.

NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record.

Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late).

Ezra Klein is cashing in the right way
The Trump administration says it arrested 4,500 people in a mission targeting “the worst of the worst.” The reality is most of them were people with brown skin who were at the right place —their landscaping jobs, the hardware store, a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru— at the wrong time.

2/2. I understand the excitement of making maps and the tendency to post them on Linked In or wherever. I understand this especially for those knew to these tools. (I understand bad maps less coming from experienced users who should know better.).

GIS mapping & analysis are super. They have helped advance knowledge & methods in urban studies (& other fields) in many ways over the last 40+ years or so. But I am afraid there are way too many folks who use these tools poorly or uncritically. I see many bad, misleading maps on a weekly basis. 1/2
Finally had a chance to read this Incredible piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social that documents Miller’s attempt to undo and reverse the 1965 immigration settlement and reveals how central this effort is to the administration’s reactionary aim to take down the New Deal and civil rights orders.

Rich people threaten to leave of you raise taxes, but most won't. There's a great book on this from Cristobal Young that breaks this down.
