For the record, I don’t support a social media age ban.
Leaving aside that it won’t work, and it will cause negative externalities by having kids hide illegal activities and being less likely to talk to parents about such, not to mention impacting queer kids more, it’s a sop for real regulation.

If he is seriously getting up that early and working that many hours he can't be getting much actual work done between how much he must be dissociating and just doing shit quality work on that sleep schedule.
I do 20 hour days, 7 days a week, wake up at 430 am & get hit with a lead pipe, & I'm getting better every day, y'know? Just the extreme levels of emotional intelligence & focus that I bring to my mission. Also, my wiiife. But the thing is, some leaders, say John Key for example, I'm built different

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

The tunnel will take a decade and total gridlock to finish, just to save a few minutes to the airport.
Meanwhile Courtenay Place would have finished by 2029 and would have been fully transformed for people, public transport and a thriving hospo scene.

Farm land is a an amazing investment if you can afford it. Neither the capital gains nor the land value is taxed and some poor schmuck will lease it off you to do all the leg work themselves so of course it attracts the sort of money that prices anyone else out.

Not the main problem, but increasingly thinking we need a moratorium on the term "Artificial Intelligence" (both in full and as "AI") because it's clear it means at least three seriously different things and equivocation between those helps to enable this nonsense.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.
The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

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.
