There are so many reasons to sub to @morecivilized.bsky.social, but among them is their recent discussion of "Would you rather act like an uncle and think like a nephew or think like a nephew and act like an uncle" on their latest Q&A episode 😂 Yes of course it's Star Wars related!

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

It's a careful, well-reasoned opinion that rightly describes the exclusion of AP as retaliatory, viewpoint-based, and unconstitutional. And it reaffirms that viewpoint discrimination is off-limits even in nonpublic forums. An important opinion, especially right now.

The conversation on CSPAN keeps focusing on how many manufacturing jobs have been lost in the US in the last few decades.. but how many of those loses were actually just automated? I don’t think that all of those jobs even exist anymore..

This is so scary to me. Going into hurricane season? The work that NOAA does around climate and environment is not just theoretical, they make life saving predictions and do critical research that underpins policy and coastal regulations. This will have significant impact long term.
Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects.

I asked Janet Yellen once whether Trump understands economic policy.
“No”
Thought that might be relevant for whatever he’s saying now about tariffs.
(Which, I’ll again remind you, end in FFS)
