I've been on the "oh no, gambling on your phone on sports if very very bad" train since the beginning, so I mostly just nod sadly at stories like this now. What a mess. I don't know how we fix this one either.

If any Kansans want to no unaffiliated, Kansas allows you to declare for a primary at the poll pad. You'll hand them your ID, they'll see you are independent, and ask you which primary you'd like to vote in. Very easy.

I don't buy that the Trump Admin has anything to do with this productivity surge (as the headline would suggest). Trend was that way anyway for 3/4 sectors. But I am fascinated that a productivity surge has survived. ht to @adamtooze.bsky.social for highlighting this. www.ft.com/content/b72e...

This time-to-liquidity function over the last decade may not seem like much, but if you apply an inflation adjusted impact to IRR calculation to this, the impact on most venture funds is pretty substantial. It's a hard business. Has been for awhile.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

I think this is a fascinating window into how LLM tools might be used to improve clinical documentation while also reducing error (because errors are very bad in this use case). This "LLM-as-Judge" mental model for application of this stuff is interesting to me.

Pay commensurate with job responsibilities should not be all that controversial.
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
