Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

NEW Economist/YouGov Sep 25-28: The midterms Democrats' lead in the 2026 congressional race hits a new high: Likely voters back Democrats over Republicans 53% to 38%, a 16-point edge Among registered voters, the lead is 6 points yougov.com/en-us/articl...

A line chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Who is leading among registered voters and likely voters in the race for Congress in 2026."

The chart has the sub-headline: "In the elections for U.S. Congress in November, who will you vote for in the district where you live? (% of registered voters picking the Democratic candidate minus the % picking the Republican candidate)."

The chart has the note: "Note: Likely voters are U.S. adult citizens who meet two criteria: (1) They either are registered to vote or say they will be registered to vote by the November elections; and (2) They either say they will definitely vote in November or say they have already voted. The displayed question has been used since the August 14 - 17, 2026 survey. Prior surveys asked the question, "If the elections for U.S. Congress were being held today, who would you vote for in the district where you live?" Responses of "other," "not sure," "I would not vote," and "I will not vote" are not shown."

Maj. Gen. Horatio Wright, commanding at Cincinnati, and Davis’ nominal superior (and friend), obtained his release from custody, citing the emergency of the Confederate invasion of Kentucky and the need for proven officers in the field. In the end, Davis walked free and nothing more happened.

"Engineering is not essential to a republican government" is as daft as saying history is not. All the successful republics of history had concern for the built environment and for the material & technological bases of commerce, war, the infrastructure needed for republican social stability...

Heightened John Brown awareness is always a good thing, but the man was born in Connecticut, honed his abolitionism in Ohio, lived in Pennsylvania longer than anywhere, died in (West) Virginia and is buried in New York. More than just Kansas should claim him!

8 very interesting plots regarding AI sentiment

Infographic titled "What travels with positive AI sentiment? 1/2 Economic outlook and institutions" featuring four scatter plots analyzing national public sentiment on AI against economic and institutional indicators. Every plot shares a vertical y-axis measuring positive AI sentiment, defined as the percentage of people who agree that AI products and services have more benefits than drawbacks.
* Prosperity (top-left): Compares AI sentiment against GDP per person PPP (logarithmic x-axis, n=32, r=-0.68). Shows a strong negative correlation, indicating that wealthier nations tend to have lower positive sentiment towards AI.
* Expectations for the next generation (top-right): Compares AI sentiment against the percentage of people who believe children will be financially better off than their parents (n=28, r=+0.67). Shows a strong positive correlation, indicating that higher optimism for future generations aligns with higher positive AI sentiment.
* Trust in institutions (bottom-left): Compares AI sentiment against the Edelman Trust Index scale of 0 to 100 (n=24, r=+0.73). Shows a strong positive correlation, indicating higher trust in institutions correlates with higher positive AI sentiment.
* Concern about inequality (bottom-right): Compares AI sentiment against the percentage of people who view the rich-poor gap as a very big problem (n=28, r=+0.11). Shows virtually no correlation.

Infographic titled "What travels with positive AI sentiment? 2/2 Inequality and attitudes toward AI" featuring four scatter plots analyzing national public sentiment on AI against measures of inequality and self-reported perceptions of AI. Every plot shares a vertical y-axis measuring positive AI sentiment, defined as the percentage of respondents who agree that AI products and services have more benefits than drawbacks.
* Measured inequality (top-left): Compares AI sentiment against national Gini index values ranging from 0 to 100, where higher indicates greater inequality (World Bank data 2019–2024, n=29). Shows scatter across varied Gini index levels without a single linear pooled trend line.
* Self-reported AI understanding (top-right): Compares AI sentiment against the percentage of respondents who agree "I have a good understanding of AI" (Ipsos spring 2026, n=32, r=+0.67). Shows a strong positive correlation, indicating that higher self-reported AI understanding aligns with higher positive AI sentiment.
* Expected job replacement (bottom-left): Compares AI sentiment against the percentage of respondents who believe AI is likely to replace their own job within 5 years (Ipsos spring 2026, n=32, r=+0.90). Shows a very strong positive correlation, where populations higher in expected job replacement also express higher positive AI sentiment.
* Nervousness about AI (bottom-right): Compares AI sentiment against the percentage of respondents who agree "AI products and services make me nervous" (Ipsos spring 2026, n=32, r=-0.15). Shows a slight negative trend but overall weak correlation.

The idea that having a liberal arts degree makes someone more of a moral upstanding person is directly contradicted by the mass of evil people who have liberal arts degrees or associated professions/hobbies. Like there is less than nothing to support this argument.

I personally hold the opinion that anything close to a return to Jim Crow or 1940’s American voting rights should be considered unacceptable and contrary to democracy by anyone who actually believes in modern democracy. I don’t know what value democracy holds if we’re willing to bow that low.

if centrists didn't want to be put in a situation where the democrats have to reform the electoral system and judiciary within the first two years of the next president's term, perhaps they should have done it when it wasn't an emergency. if we do not do it, we will die under worse than Jim Crow.

This doesn’t seem remotely likely considering the efficiency of newer Chinese models. Anthropic/OpenAI are not subsidizing the costs of those. Also are already relatively affordable for people who have a use case, especially with the hardware to run local likely getting cheaper in a crash scenario.

Surely the bigger story is that social media sites across the board have either plateaued or are bleeding users. More and more people are opting out. In the face of that, it's tough to think Bluesky will experience sustained rapid growth or avoid a cyclical pattern of adding/losing users.
