we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors.Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city. Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.

Re LLMs writing term papers: the other day I saw someone say that using LLMs to write is like bringing a forklift to the gym. It's not that the weights need to go up; it's that you need to do the lifting. The doing of the work is the result, not the paper being done or the weights having moved.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Trump/Musk regime has figured out a way to pull off a global holocaust without invading a single country or dropping a single bomb. When you see it as intentional and not as the unfortunate byproduct of cutting government waste it's very clarifying.
