Such articles are frustrating because they avoid the material questions: In his support for Trump, was Rogan stupid or complicit? What values does he espouse? Clearly, he knows that his success is predicated on his appeal to the manosphere. These criticisms seem to be just temporary damage control.

An enduring memory from 2025 will be the night when Jemimah Rodrigues - mud-stained, anxious, tired, controlled, innovative & resolute to the bitter end - shepherded India to an improbable win.

unlike EVs - electric cargo bikes are actually sustainable

This is the first time I’ve seen a dedicated parking spot for cargo bikes. [The Container Store, Stanford Shopping Mall.]

Thank you for sharing. One rarely hears the privacy risk of agentic AI solutions articulated so concisely at this level of technical precision and clarity. I’m glad she wants Signal to keep holding out against the onslaught on privacy.

El Camino Real in Palo Alto and Mountain View has become a lot safer for bicycle commuters. They even have some stretches physically fenced out from car lanes and clearly painted conflict zones.
