It's very... Congress. Annoyed by a problem, write a change that doesn't actually fix the problem, and is also easily evaded insofar as it does anything at all.

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

Risk pooling, what is it?
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Did it help first-time buyers?
Mmmh… Nope. The debate is not quite settled, but much points to the mechanism above - in line with economic theory. It likely created a capital transfer to existing owners.
Claes Backman has a paper on this btw

Calling a timeout to "save time" instead of letting Indy rush their field goal personnel out and kick a hurried field goal says everything about this Atlanta Failcans team.
I am sick and tired of this culture of bad coaching decisions.

On the GA PSC results, it may have been a strategic blunder to schedule these elections at the same time as municipal elections in GA. Can't wait to see the data

LLMs are useful in limited, specific contexts. Examples like this show the limitations. Unfortunately, the conversation on LLMs from important figures does not convey the fragility and limits of LLMs
Wrote up a little intervention post/explanation for my class about why using LLMs for trying to learn programming (as first time learners!) is bad and detrimental datavizf25.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2025-11...

Doing a bunch of community outreach & then never executing the project not only wastes time & money, it undermines public trust.
Some of the narrative around "the city never listens" is bad faith criticism when someone's own priorities don't win out, but stuff like this absolutely contributes too

Yesterday my Enfield died out coming home. While I was trying to restart it, 3 very helpful National Guardsmen came over and tried to help me bump start it.

Appreciate Chapman's note about combining projects too.
Would love to see more convo about how we can be more efficient that way, like when we put affordable housing atop that fire station.
Could we build market housing above other uses too, and use rents to fund those services?

The extent to which the entire edifice of your life is based on the precarious thread of being basically 100% healthy is hard to understand in your 20s, I think.

As Redfin's chief economist I follow both home prices and household budgets, and inflation in groceries is looking more and more concerning. If you lost your job and are trying to save money buy dining in, grocery inflation will make it harder to balance your budget during this tough economic time.
