I am still not my broken key. I am still not in Delaware. Of other facts, I am less sure
I usually block strangers who follow me and seem kinda empty, like if they follow over 10K people

"Ambitious white men in their thirties have not seen much, if any, decline over this period. Their overall employment is up...Educational attainment is up. There may be 1-2% of white men who dipped out of top 10% of personal earnings, though white men continue to be vastly over-represented there."
Incredible what you find when you start looking for data on the "white men can't get jobs anymore" phenomenon

These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

The point I wish got emphasized more is that the big winners from congestion pricing are *people who urgently need to drive*. Because they are ones that travel times really matter for. I always thought that instead of congestion pricing it should be called "free streets" - free from other cars.
this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

my personal but very strong opinion is bureaucratic positions should be appointed, not elected, because bureaucracy requires knowing how a given thing works, not winning elections, they're often opposite skillsets, especially within non-business orgs

Recently noticed that Howard University contracted Chik-Fil-A for the cafe. I been meaning to take a picture of and look into when they raised the LGBTQ+ flag in front of the same building. I swear this was done just to virtue signal and as a compromise.

Outside is mostly done, needs some seam binding and a toggle closure for the top.
I remembered I have this fish fabric to make a padded lining for the inner plastic shell, it looks so cute viewed top-down like this.

This is a good point from Michelle Goldberg. I’d add that in an atomized media landscape, where attention is both critical and dearly bought, there are few incentives for the type of cooler, consensus-based presentations when audiences were both large and stable. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/o...
