Yes, I've wondered where AltNPS got its estimate.
I've looked for better numbers. The news media seem to either report no numbers or use wildly underestimated ones. The most credible source I've found, which at least *has* a methodology, estimates 4-6 million: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

PS for countries that still have kings:
Although I agree that the central issue is authoritarianism and the reference to kings is rhetorical not literal, I also think that any country which didn't abolish its monarchy by the end of the 19th century failed to understand the assignment...

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

And intriguingly some of the groups who are very, very good at immigration (I'm thinking for example of the South Asian migrant community I used to have ties to) use their skills to engage in serial migration - they quickly dig in deep but are also ready to move on if the opportunity arises. 2/2

Very interesting and no doubt a fruitful thing for policy makers to think about.
But I'm troubled by what the "aptitude for Immigration" concept might turn into in the hands of the right. Could it be a way to sanitize discrimination against less-assimilated working-class migrants? 1/2

At first I thought this was the bottom of a phone or microwave, which gives me ideas for creating an artistic time capsule the next time I'm in a hotel

I love how the video shows the house with realistic clutter. So much architectural media, especially about modernist houses, has a completely sterile and unrealistic absence of "stuff".
It did horrify me to learn that they run heating and cooling in the open-roofed courtyard, though.
