I used to study the growth of supermassive black holes and galaxies over cosmic history with the Hubble Space Telescope. Now I don't.

So glad to see they're finally honoring the discoverer of Barium

[James Bullock @jbprime]

Well deserved!

The NYT editorial staff are deranged.

This New York Times article is journalistic malpractice. The e-bike riders were killed by SUVs. Cars cause 43,000 deaths every single year, that’s the problem here. We’ve become so normalized to the death caused by cars that journalists are blaming the victims

@mattyglesias Am I reading these graphs right that the inflation that the Fed is using as an excuse to try to tank a Dem. admin.'s policies now, is just us catching up from the last recession caused by nearly a decade of the Fed deliberately trying to tank the last Dem. admin.?

Can anyone explain to me why 2-loss LSU was a 3-seed, though?

@mattyglesias Lol at "overpopulation". According to Wolfram Alpha, Montana has 84 acres of land area per person! For comparison, Massachusetts has 0.7 acres of land area per person.

@jgwitz @kalynkahler Not a bad drive from Reno/Tahoe either, if the roads are open

Ironic that one of the first visible consequences of the Fed raising interest rates sky high to try and crush labor is that a bunch of Richy Rich libertarian capitalists are sweating bullets about losing all their uninsured deposits and demanding federal bailout money

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

The Court of Appeal just issued an absurd & dangerous ruling that people are pollution & CEQA requires evaluation of the type of people who will live in proposed new housing.

We’ll shortly introduce legislation to put an end to this nonsense. Stay tuned. https://t.co/472falo0u1

The Hall of Fame is not/should not be the "Hall of Upright Morals" nor the "Hall of Statistics". Let the steroid guys and Pete Rose in. They were famous parts of the history of the game!

What is your most benign unpopular baseball opinion?
I don’t mean “I'm anti-DH” type of unpopular opinion, I mean like “I want all stadium to have the same dimensions” unpopular opinion. ^RE

What I wouldn't give to have one to fill out IT tickets for me

[Bojan Tunguz @tunguz]

What I would *REALLY* love to have is a private version of ChatGPT that’s been trained on your internal org documents. Have an HR question? Ask Chat. Don’t know how to use some application? Ask Chat. When is the next vacation day? Ask Chat.

@felixsalmon @matt_levine I used to watch Bloomberg news in ~2014-2016 and they had constant advertising for 1MDB

Every golf course is a policy failure

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

The ultra-exclusive Los Angeles Country Club's land is currently assessed at $22.195 million. If the golf course was replaced with apartment buildings like the one pictured down the street, the accessed value would be $8.434 billion. There are 19 golf courses in LA alone.

Minting the coin is a commensurately stupid solution to the stupid problem of having a statutory debt ceiling
