I wish that training in the NATO/ICAO alphabet was more common, since understanding spelled-out words is still a big problem when talking over the phone and dodgy conference calls (not that I'm great at it either, but this is what I try to use)

I really feel that Trader Joe's is one of the few places that correctly sizes their parking lots, and it's just a shock to most people that it isn't 4x oversized

#mtfarecheck by TRIP agents on southbound Blue Line car 218 from American Boulevard to Mall of America.

I would say that getting fare checks for 50% of trips is far beyond best practice

Sigh. The odd thing is that the nvme0n1 device that's having trouble is on a more direct link to the CPU than the one that is still alive (at least in this case, though I think the same thing happened last time too)

Of all the news in this NYT survey of sitting federal judges - incl 47 of them think the SCt is mishandling its emergency docket - maybe the biggest is that 65 sitting fed judges (37D, 28R), folks circumspect for a living, responded to a NYT survey. Stunning. And a sign that something is very wrong.

IRS layoffs are costly for the U.S., redistributing wealth to the top 1% (who lie on their taxes at jaw-dropping rates).

The bottom 99% generally pay their taxes. cepr.org/voxeu/column...

The future promised us a lot of things and I have to say that when it comes to vans the future delivered. Believe it or not this is a Chevy

One of these things that feels bad enough here in Minnesota, and we're nearly the safest state on a per-capita basis (after Nebraska, apparently)

Who knows if this is anything more than a blip for Rogan, but hopefully it means something about the direction of public opinion

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Dem Governors have more control over trade than they understand.

70% of international trade is running through the black dots. Most of the biggest sea ports, and most proximal to water.

Ah. I'd seen the aftermath of something blow up regarding Framework the other day, and finally looked it up. Related to the mess happening with the Ruby on Rails community

i think it's apparent that the lack of any consequences or guardrails or competition or any constraints whatsoever for these freaks has made them mottled and rancid (see, eg, good times, soft men or whatever). no one will tell them they look stupid or that their ideas are stupid. played themselves

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

nothing says "we want to end the shutdown" like shutting down Congress for an extra week
