there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

Look at this graph.
Vacant office buildings in NYC are being converted to housing at an unprecedented pace. Nearly all projects include affordable units.
This didn't happen by accident. It's the result of policy change (City of Yes, State tax incentives etc).
Let's keep this going.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

As a grant writer for environmental causes, I’ve seen first-hand how funding for the environment often takes a backseat to medical research and human services. This article helps demonstrate why this is a problem; the environment is a HUGE influence on public health and quality of life.

New ideas about chronic illness could revolutionize treatment, if we take the research seriously.

IME, AI has driven the cost of brand-new code way down, but hasn’t been as good at simplifying systems to reduce complexity or remove redundant / dead code. In that context it seems full-system rewrites (while maintaining API compatibility) will become more common for being less costly
If AI became the primary or only maintainer, then maybe the conclusion would be different?
Or maybe AI would copy the human behavior, and simply rewrite large swaths of past code everytime it needs to perform any kind of maintenance?

Railroads are one of the classic examples of a boom-bust investment cycle, and in some ways the US railroad system never really recovered and was then replaced by (state funded) car infrastructure
In fact, there were lots of market bubbles built around these technologies. Add radio in the 1920s.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Most incredible thing about this is the fact that he’s crashing out so hard over a tweet proves her point entirely. The richest man alive has nothing better to do with his sad life than stress about what JCO said about him online. Hilarious and pathetic
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
