Zohran also supported deregulation for street vendors. Regulatory capture exists, but it breaks people’s brains.

“The entire purpose of science is to search for existential truths,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told me. “It’s not subjective. It should be objective. I believe science is a place where you can find unity if you can get a conversation going.” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Why Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So Convinced He’s Right?

A reminder that cars aren’t a technology problem. They’re a geometry problem.
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.

I just hope Grimm can explain how terrorizing immigrants and running the most transparently corrupt kleptocracy in US history is Trump fighting for the “bottom.” It is literally insane to believe Trump is legitimately populist or fighting for working people against his billionaire friends.

The reason this kind of nonsense from Stoller in particular is so frustrating is that as we speak, Trump is not only stealing billions of dollars from poor Americans; he’s proposing to do it via an AI laws moratorium that benefits the “big tech” companies Stoller has allegedly fought for a decade.

Hey, what’s a little fascism, National guard occupation, ICE racial profiling-based state-backed terrorism, and brutal anti-trans agenda, as long as we can pretend Trump is a populist again for two minutes? Can’t we let Nazi bygones be bygones?
this is your brain when your entire politics is just a set of aesthetics

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

This is a wild thing for someone who calls themselves an intellectual to say with a straight face to the New York Times. This is not a historical account based on an understanding of the history--this is just pure far right, Christian Nationalist propaganda/conspiracy theory ca. 1962-1980s.

Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.
