the prospect of martial law makes a man giddy
Hegseth's demeanor is bizarre. He's almost on the verge of laughing while talking about the shooting of two National Guardsmen. He seems elated.

In the newsletter, I review my Thanksgiving dinner inflation index - a composite of six common items weighted as a balanced dinner plate with one piece of pie for dessert.
The meal costs 2.3% more vs 2024 and 25% more vs 2019.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this essay on Contempt Culture - the idea that demeaning something can elevate social status, and how it’s used to dismiss things that take consideration of other perspectives to understand.
The topic is programming languages but I see it everywhere now.

Contempt Culture - The Particular Finest
So when I started programming in 2001, it was du jour in the communities I participated in to be highly critical of other languages. Other languages

“Security came because the building was getting national attention... And as soon as they felt the moment died, the security left.”
Earlier this month, a judge appointed a property manager and ordered the building cleared and repaired. Residents say they’ve not heard from the new manager, Friedman Communities.

A federal judge halted an IRS–ICE data-sharing plan that would’ve exposed taxpayer addresses to immigration agents. Privacy advocates say the ruling protects immigrant communities already facing heightened enforcement.

Had an early flight home from San Francisco a few weeks back and my cab driver pointed out two massive lots of Waymos along our 20min drive
Each lot had hundreds of empty cars, just parked and charging. Each was a sea of flashing red lights
It was eerie and nauseating.

Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

"This is a real pivotal moment right now where decades of progress could be at risk... Up until this year, it was a dream — a wish! — that you could get a job and you could come to the U.S. And now nobody wants to come." - Dr Julie Gralow, chief medical officer, American Society of Clinical Oncology
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?

Keep a bread basket, y’all…

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing. This is Project 2025

So many things happening, I nearly missed the @newrepublic.com piece I was quoted in last week. It raises the possibility of continued political threats to SNAP, underscoring a point I make often: the best way to politically protect the safety net is to build the power of those who rely on it.

It’s crazy to have SIX dedicated security lines at LaGuardia airport just for Clear & give them priority at the THREE general boarding lanes. This is a tax-payer funded airport that seems to be trying to force people to give their biometric info over to a private company or get squeezed & squeezed.

It's unfortunate that groups like whoever wrote the DHS PR have learned that lies can never be completely corrected. Every inaccurate story, even if completely contradicted, leaves behind some nonzero number of believers.
