I picked the last tomatoes of the season from our tiny Brooklyn terrace garden. The blustery day was the perfect sendoff.

I'm curious how this story plays out.
Was it:
Garden variety spam network sometimes used to swat people?
or
Sophisticated state actor priming for chaos and testing the gates?

I'm genuinely baffled by the world as presented by TikTok. Are we roiling in nihilistic hatred, or is this algorithm tuned to inspire despair?

"Ok. I guess I understand. Bye."

In the last few weeks I’ve seen a) a car hit a pedestrian on the sidewalk b) a bike hit a mother carrying a baby in a sling and c) a bike hit a dog.
I was hit by a motorized bike.
All were running red lights. Everyone would benefit from slowing down a bit.

It is 3:18am. Brooklyn is finally quiet. Even the mockingbird in the oak tree out back has finally given up.
I am WIDE AWAKE. I don’t know why. Usually I sleep like a baby…
Actually I do know why… some people I care about are sick and I’m far away. It is these moments I miss a sky with stars.

One of the small pleasures of a midtown office is looking out the window into the other windows and trying to figure out what's going on. I love witnessing moments that will never sense, but that will linger for long time in memory.

I just saw a a striking older woman woman gliding down Madison Ave in a silver dress that made her look like she had beamed in from another planet where everyone wears silver shimmery things and hover rather than walk. Everyone noticed her, but nobody turned their head, only their eyes.

Elon says gov systems should be made more efficient or automated with AI. Who has vetted this or are we in gov by fiat now? Where will those systems come from? Is Musk going to force the gov to use his models? What data is being used to train those models? How are security risks being assessed?

We need to get better at calling out the Trump playbook:
-Declare a fake crisis
-Present an illegal, unethical, and cruel solution to said fake crisis
-Do a bunch of random things that destroy decades of thoughtful work
-Blame elites/deep state/the disempowered when things don't go as planned.
