Explaining housing, transit, and how cities actually work.

If you want clear, no-BS breakdowns of policy and urbanism, you’re in the right place.

Bruh.

“Median Strategies was created as a short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification.”

[Noah Goldberg @Noah__Goldberg]

NEW: I reached out repeatedly last week to Median Strategies, asking to speak with their head of polling.

After reaching out repeatedly, they told me they were discontinuing their polling operation, then they admitted their poll was fake.

7 years sober today.

Thank you to everyone who has walked this road with me.

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

Today is a day that the president‘s gonna do something in iran, and we’re all gonna have a rough day. I hope not, but let’s just be prepared.

The thing about the LA skyline is that even though it’s not the biggest or the tallest, it physically looks like a mountain, similar to the mountains behind it.

Some of the most disturbing violent, sexual, and abusive language I’ve ever read on the Internet consistently comes from middle-aged men who use their grandchildren as their profile picture.

I never feel angry at their words, I feel worried for those children.

I get his music resonates with a lot of people throughout their life. I get that it’s hard to give that up. It doesn’t change the fact that he’s a nazi.

I was on public transit yesterday and I saw a dude wearing a hat that said “ye Live In California”

I avoided him the same way I avoided a dude in a MAGA hat.

One side effect of all of the stuff that’s happening in LA right now that is actually a good thing is that somehow, the actual neighborhood of Hollywood is slowly turning back into a bohemia.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.

OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?

A thread on some of of our findings:

In-N-Out is not the best burger.

BUT it’s cheap, above average, consistent, and a cultural staple.

All four of those attributes make it legendary.

[Nick Caputo @_nickcaputo_]

That’s not waste. That’s return on investment.

[Nick Caputo @_nickcaputo_]

Calling #Artemis a “waste of money” completely misses the point.

Space programs don’t just explore space.
They create technologies that end up saving lives on Earth.

Somewhere in the future, a disease will be caught early because of science developed for missions like this.

KitKat lost 12 tons of product but gained an entire planet’s worth of free press.

Los Angeles is not broken. It’s working exactly as designed. That is the problem.

The good news? When you actually get into the nuts and bolts around the specific ways it needs updating, you realize that this is all very fixable.

[Nick Caputo @_nickcaputo_]

Artemis is 100% worth it.

[Nick Caputo @_nickcaputo_]

There is a cancer that will be caught early and prevented because of science developed for space, including Artemis.

That’s the part people don’t get.

Remote surgery. MRI advancements. Water purification. Memory foam. The phone in your hand. All came from space innovation.

[Nick Caputo @_nickcaputo_]

Space exploration isn’t just about rockets or flags or distant planets. It’s about what we learn when we push the limits of physics, medicine, materials, and human survival.

When we invest in space, we are investing in breakthroughs that quietly save lives here on Earth.
