Shout out to all the local Pakistani and Chinese restaurants and their staff who will be working Christmas.
As the manager at Royal Kabob told me, "Brother, we're always open. Even on the Day of Judgement, we'll be open."
Respect.

Apparently citydwellers in the US are walking 15% faster than they did in 1980
some academics got video of four major intersections -- shot in 1979-80 and again in 2008-10
people walked faster; lingered less; more likely to be alone
Item #3 in my latest "Linkfest": buttondown.com/clivethompso...

Just finished Real Americans by Rachel Khong. As a 6th generation Chinese American who grew up in NY but worked in tech in SV most of my adult life, it resonated on so many levels… wealth, race, privilege, family, genetics, startups, China vs America, and more… great read!

The use of generative AI by Pentagram in a government project marks a significant turning point for design. Has the famed agency embraced the future or abandoned the very soul of design?

It’s so nice to be at the stage of a lifetime of a platform when everyone mostly agrees the people running it are working hard and doing a good job. Let’s enjoy that while we can!
