From #Abundance folks, I keep hearing that to shrink timelines government must pick: slash the rules ✂️ or double-down on red tape 🐌.
From my @cornelltech.bsky.social work I know there’s a middle road: #Automation. Turn months into seconds ⌛.

The origin story of Bari Weiss and The Free Press is that they were fighting for free speech, but the real origin story is that as a student she tried to get Middle Eastern professors fired. They are a snitch organization for the Trump regime.
The president of Columbia agreed to Trump's demands to purge all academic freedom re Palestine but then privately said she'd slow walk them, which immediately leaked to Bari Weiss's outlet, so then the board purged her too

I have a serious question about this kind of thing. Why quit? That allows for a headline about your resignation, but that’s it. Stay and refuse to comply, get as much as you can in writing, and make them fire you improperly, get a severance and sue for wrongful dismissal if it’s an available option.
The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract.

This from @gothamist.com brought me back to my shocking experience visiting the NYCT control center.
I was expecting something out of movies: digital displays showing each train.
But the reality was bleak. Printed maps and landlines (and pros!) holding things together.

Driving blind: NYC subways steered by 1930s tech, paper maps and a lot of hope
Ever experience a subway delay at DeKalb Avenue near the foot of the Manhattan bridge? Thank Great Depression era-tech.
