Huh? Sure. I guess.

@BigMeanInternet @chap42chap Barrel at the deli?
Also a lot of places sell “half sours” which I think is what you’re looking for?
But more fun to make your own.

@michael_galant As someone who has smelled JFK airport….I find this puzzling.

[Colin Alcock @Laowei77]

@michael_galant Wtf?!

@jongeeting I don’t think the primary obstacle to high speed rail has been Nimbyism (however you define it) or even regulation, so much as a politics dominated by car culture and a resulting lack of political will.

@BlvdSubway @jongeeting Coming every 8 minutes *when it’s on time*
3 mins would be awesome tho.

I've been lagging on posting this, but I'm very excited about this episode. Please give a listen. Jenny is awesome, and we get to discuss her book about solidarity tourism, which is one of my favorite non-fiction books from the past few years.

NEW: The Trump admin is looking to urgently buy mobile surveillance trailers for the site of George Washington's Philadelphia home after it replaced panels about slavery with a new exhibit.

"The replacement of these interpretation panels is creating a lot of security concerns."

Check out the latest Bad Art Pod: we look back at at the man who called himself the “bicentennial president” — Richard Nixon — and the 1976 celebration he helped to plan. How do the politics of past US birthdays compare to the spectacle of America250?

@FairweatherPhD It says more about economics as a discipline, and the limits of its conceptual reach. In centering the market as object of study, it ignores the fact that things exist outside the market, have to be brought into it, and that this is a moral (not mathematical/technical) issue.

[Abraham Gutman @abgutman]

NEW: a glimpse to what Trump's "restoring sanity" to American history means.

After removing the slavery exhibit from George Washington's Philly home, now we have the panels the admin wants up instead.

They include nuggets such as Washington buying his slaves theater tickets.

@united They don’t keep us safe unless everyone is wearing them. This makes flying inaccessible to many.

@NateSilver538 If you’re in polling, you have an ethical responsibility to understand how polls shape, and don’t just measure the world. To understand and reflect on the ethical impact of the work that you do.

[Colin Alcock @Laowei77]

@NateSilver538 Beyond which, it’s weird to claim that polling is just about understanding public opinion, given the long history of push polls, etc. which use polling to shape opinion or to manufacture support for decisions already made.

[Colin Alcock @Laowei77]

@davidmfaris One reason that Mounk etc. are so laughable is not just that it’s all open but that its-all-open-and there is a raging public health crisis. Just pretending that the crisis isn’t there or declaring that you’re done with it doesn’t make it go away.

[Colin Alcock @Laowei77]

@davidmfaris I think, contrary to pundit-brain, the only way to fix this is to take action to bring the public health crisis under control. Actually making it safe is one way to inspire confidence that it is safe. Shutdowns. Aggressive mandates. Mass testing. Sick leave. Healthcare. Etc.

Dems told you to "go vote!" as a response to white supremacy so that President Biden could say this today.
