The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

I'm not going to complain about this list, and I'll shock some people by saying I have not seen Breaking Bad, nor have I seen The Wire. So I'm happy that the first show at the top I've seen, Mad Men, is at number three. I would personally put it at number one. It is perfection. 🧑🏽‍🍳💋

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

Sailboats on the Willamette. This was right before all the wildfire smoke rolled into the region, and I'm so thankful we're having clear and cooler weather once more. 😌 #SilentSunday #Portland #PDX #PNW #river
Six small sailboats all in a sort of formation. The sky is filled with fluffy white clouds, yet it is also sunny. The water is a deep rich blue hue. The thick foliage of Ross Island is behind the boats.

Yesterday, a glorious moment walking along the north end of the #Portland riverfront, and signs that spring has well and truly arrived. 🙌 #PDX #Bridge #SilentSunday
A tangle of bushes with burgundy-colored flowers in the froreground give way to a vast scene of the Willamette River and a walking pier, with the looming Fremont arch bridge looming off on the horizon. A sunny day but filled with poofy clouds adds lighting drama to an otherwise simple scene.

In 2019, the economic costs of US car crashes totaled $340 billion. This is equivalent to $1,035 for each of the 328 million people living in the US, & 1.6% of the 2019 GDP. Including quality-of-life valuations, the total value of societal harm from motor vehicle crashes was nearly $1.4 trillion.
In 2019 there were 36,500 people killed, 4.5 million people injured, and 23 million vehicles damaged in motor
vehicle crashes in the United States. The economic costs of these crashes totaled $340 billion, including lost
productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property
damage, and workplace losses. This is equivalent to $1,035 for each of the 328 million people living in the
United States, and 1.6% of the $21.4 trillion real U.S. Gross Domestic Product in 2019. These figures
include both police‐reported & unreported crashes. When quality-of-life valuations are considered, the total
value of societal harm from motor vehicle crashes in 2019 was nearly $1.4 trillion. Lost market & household
productivity accounted for $106 billion of the $340 billion, while property damage accounted for $115 billion.
Medical expenses totaled $31 billion. Congestion caused by crashes, including travel delay, excess fuel
consumption, greenhouse gases, & criteria pollutants accounted for $36 billion. Each fatality resulted in an
average discounted lifetime cost of $1.6 million in economic costs, and $11.3 million when quality-of-life
valuations are considered. Public revenues paid for roughly 9% of all motor vehicle crash costs, costing
taxpayers $30 billion in 2019, equal to $230 in added taxes for every household in the United States. Alcohol-
involved crashes accounted for $69 billion or 20% of all economic costs. Alcohol was the cause of the
crash in roughly 82% of these cases, causing $57 billion in costs. Distracted driving crashes cost $98
billion.
