I'm in Italy at the moment, and I thought this local angle on Zohran Mamdani in the newspaper was interesting... "the problem" they are referring to are the things his opponents don't like about him.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?
Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

We also need to get to a point where someone declaring they’d like to reverse the Civil Rights Act, or functionally dismantles the Voting Rights Act, or argues for treating Black people as inherently inferior publicly is just as “shocking” as these revealed texts.

Update: went back to this place a week later (you don't have the best French toast & not return) only to find they had switched to a new, fall menu!
This was gone, so I went with their leek waffles with goat cheese. Definitely a top-3 waffle situation. No pic tho.

Had the best French toast of my life today. The brioche was nice and caramelized on the edges and it came with poached peaches and a raspberry sauce.
Ditching syrup in favor of something like this from now on.

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic).
But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

which then begs the question of why you want flying cars instead of whatever mass transportation equivalent you imagine

I enjoy BluesSky because I liberally mute keywords and people, and follow feeds I enjoy. The result is my experience is mostly interesting and informative, with little doomerism.
I left X when really, really dark stuff started getting jammed in my feed.
So, yeah, Bluesky is good, actually.
