@jabjabber_ thank you for your service 🫡

one of the most frustrating things about DOGE is that there is so much genuine waste in the federal government—bloated defense contracts, infrastructure that costs 10x to build in the US vs peer nations, etc—but we’re arguing about fucking Politico subscriptions

Physics does not care about our politics, and ultimately the world will continue to warm until we get global emissions of CO2 to (net) zero.

Congestion pricing coverage is peak economics

Every person is like, "I didn't used to bear the external costs of my behavior. But now that I do, I am adjusting along an infinite variety of least-cost adaptive margins that no central planner could have foreseen or designed"

"A 1% increase in new supply;
i) lowers average rents by 0.19%,
ii) effectively reduces rents of lower-quality units, &
iii) disproportionately increases the number of second-hand units available for rent. Moreover, the impact on rents is equally strong in high-demand markets."

The most important technical concept in AI in recent years was introduced by group comprised mostly of immigrants. The most important technology in the 21st century is largely coming out of the US today due to immigration. America should not take this for granted.

@AMPDiariesPod Glad to hear the pod will be back, though of course sad not to have Jill anymore. I’ll just have to listen to the first 100-odd eps for the 4th-5th time… Here’s hoping she’ll be back for special appearances someday when life allows.

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

Yup

If you’re reveling in the fact that some random dude you had never heard of until a few hours ago was gunned down in cold blood simply because you don’t like the industry he worked, I think you should spend some time away from the internet and go on a hiking trip or something

LA is such a joke

The city is trying to stop a city-led homeless housing project on city-owned land

fuck me

[John Cochrane @JohnHCochrane]

All the "what should Democrats do?" miss the obvious. Govern. Competently. When the blue states and blue cities are booming, safe, great schools, business flocking, call America and say "we're ready to run the country now."

@itsme_urstruly Rebranding is what execs do to say they changed something when they can’t change anything that actually matters.

@Jenn_the_Judge Draft and play but not do Swiss pairings. Do free-for-all where a match starts every time a match ends & the sit-outs are short.
