This kind of dense, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities
This ‘arachnid megacity’ may be largest spider’s web ever found

Now maybe people will read Mahmood's books— which helped me develop my politics in the first place
Zohran breaks a weird streak in American politics, in that he is the child of a foreign-born radical professor but has not become a centrist

It's really funny, in a sad way, how the mystical leftist shit inevitably degenerates into blood and soil herrenvolk shit with hippie aesthetics.
As with RFK Jr. and the crunchy granolas, also with the 'ancestral trauma' mystic bullshit.

Still not sure when she moved there but as you can see, it was in her ancestral DNA to seek it out.

LLMs are a great tool for letting you kind of do something you don't know how to do. the problem is that knowledge of whether it is a good idea to half-ass something is highly correlated with knowledge of how to do the thing correctly.
vibe coding is a technique for being a mediocre or bad engineer in areas where you are not actually an engineer at all and don't really know anything. so uh. if that's what you're trying to do it's stellar probably

![But it’s really here I got a sense of it, because a friend of mine took me to a SNCC [Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee] meeting, six or seven months after I was here. At the end of the meeting they announced that buses were going to Montgomery, Alabaman, to demonstrate. I went there, got beaten up, thrown in jail…
BS: How was that? How long were you in jail?
MM: One night. They let you make one phone call, and I called the Ugandan Ambassador in Washington, DC, talked to him, and he said, “What are you doing interfering in the affairs of a foreign country?” I said, “What? We just got our independence! This is the same struggle. Have you forgotten?” Anyway, he got me out. Two or three weeks later, I was in my room. There was a knock at the door. Two gentlemen in trench coats and hats said, “FBI.” I thought, “Wow, just like on television.” They sat down. They were there to find out why I had gone – because this turned out to be big – it is after Montgomery that King organized his march on Selma. They wanted to know who had influenced me. After one hour of probing, the guy said, “Do you like Marx?”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qgpgksazyjrdn4kckg7lcck5/bafkreigaowaobbkriyelab6vopmeuuey2qy5b3i7f2haktn3dxinl3kw7e@jpeg)

a hot take about academia: it is both too activist and not activist enough. the endless focus on problematizing critiquing, etc etc often degenerates into navel gazing, while there is often a lack of high-quality outcome oriented empirical work on "what could make social institution XYZ work better"
