This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

I gotta say, it’s kinda wild how hard it is to turn the complete incompetence in day to day functioning of government into electoral success.

The most frustrating part of getting help for flight changes isn’t the hour wait. It’s that if you don’t reply immediately they disconnect again.

There's a hot new move going around popular fronts where a near-contender in a contested primary endorses the leftier winner as a bulwark against the forces that ran the reactionary spoiler. It's called "Landering" and it kicks ass.

Something to keep in mind the next time the city tries to repurpose parking and drivers complain that every last car is necessary at all times. The storm was two weeks ago.

Is it silly to say that this is basically us figuring out, in the year 2026, why water is in some forms, wet?
It turns out we’re wrong about what makes ice slippery for 200 years.
We thought ice was slippery due to pressure or friction. New research reveals the cause is molecular dipole interactions. These electrical forces disrupt ice's crystal structure, creating a liquid layer even at extreme cold.

Cold Self-Lubrication of Sliding Ice
The low kinetic friction between ice and numerous counterbodies is commonly attributed to an interfacial water layer, which is believed to originate from preexisting surface water or from melt water i...

Very excited to say that the stars have aligned and NYU Marron/Transit Costs Project have landed a grant that will fund a second edition of Momentum, which will apply the high-throughput framework to major regional rail networks beyond the NY area.

The NYU-Marron report on electrification is out: It pairs electrification and other components to develop a high-throughput infrastructure design framework, which slashes time off of existing commuter and inter-city passenger rail services. We call it Momentum -- transitcosts.com/wp-content/u...

Within a week of having a ring doorbell (came with the house didn’t buy it!!!) I turned off the motion sensing features because it did me 0 good to have to wonder why there was motion on my porch.
99% of modern security products are just some company going "would you like this app that gamifies paranoia" and you going "yeag" like just don't do it. just turn it off
why do you need to observe your house if you're not in it. you are giving yourself an opt-in mental illness. no one has to live like this
