The New York Times’ editorial decisions make more sense when you remember their publisher is a fifth-generation owner who was handed the paper as a birthright while the managing editor was a Harvard legacy whose father founded Staples.
They’re very firm believers in the meritocracy, you see.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

Mija rok od przyjęcia prawa odbudowy przyrody. Polska nie zrobiła nic, żeby ochronić lasy i mokradła
Rok po przyjęciu Nature Restoration Law (NRL), któremu sprzeciwiał się polski rząd, nie wprowadzono żadnych rozwiązań, które pomogłyby odbudować siedliska, lepiej chronić lasy, rzeki czy mokradła. Naukowcy z Państwowej Rady Ochrony Przyrody apelują do rządu: to najwyższy czas na działanie!

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

The bit leading up has to be seen to be believed. ICE erased students from the official foreign student database and told them to leave the country.
When Banias and others sued, ICE said nothing relevant had changed and the students could stay. Maybe? Or maybe not. Who knows? Not the government!

Here is the colloquy leading up to this paragraph.
The judge coined the term "Shrodinger's Visa," which I find appropriate and pithy. #SaveSEVIS

MR. [DOJ ATTORNEY]
I'm not able to answer that question,
Your Honor.
THE COURT: How are you not able to answer that
question? What does that even mean? He's either here legally or he's not here legally. You're the government's lawyer. Is he here legally? I mean, how is Mr. [client] supposed to know if he's here legally if you don't even know if he is here legally?
MR. He was lawfully admitted to the United
States --
THE COURT: No, no, Mr. [DOJ Attorney] there's a -- no, no Mr. [DOJ Attorney] there is a yes or no answer here. We are not --
this is not Schrodinger's visa, either he's here legally or he's not here legally. If you cannot answer the question, you have to explain to me why you cannot answer that question.
MR. [DOJ ATTORNEY]
I cannot answer that question. I have
talked to ICE as to whether or not they consider at this point in time the individual, whether or not they are maintaining lawful status.
THE COURT: And what does ICE say to that?
MR. [DOJ ATTORNEY]

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.
None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.
But a LOT are caused by bigots.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.
Max capacity passengers per hour:
* Boring Co’s Vegas Loop: 4,500
* NYC subway 6 train: 105,000
