Got some fax spam at work from a sealcoating company, and the message included this little guy.

Here the first of two news stories posting back-to-back. The Commerce Department's decision to ban "noise injection" for the 2030 census and numerous surveys is really about politics, not statistics. www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists attack ban on adding ‘noise’ to U.S. census data and many surveys

Critics say Trump’s real goal is to sow doubts about 2030 census and add Republican seats in Congress

I’ll never forget the time that I bumped into the owner of Indies when the Cavs were facing the Warriors in the finals. He told me the reason the Cavs were trailing was that I wasn’t eating enough curry.

A very nice write-up on why data users should be concerned about the new Commerce Dept. policy, which likely means a lot of granular, local-level data used for economic development is about to disappear. agglomerations.eig.org/p/a-new-thre...

So, if this goes ahead as proposed, in the long run, the city will have traded two architecturally significant structures for a pair of faceless parking garages. Ouch.

010

Kevin Leeson @leeson.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

The east garage would be built on the site of the art deco Carnegie Medical Building (also known as the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine Building), which was demolished by the Cleveland Clinic in 2009. www.cleveland.com/architecture...

They'll be built atop current parking lots, but what nobody at the Planning Commission meeting acknowledged is that those locations were formerly the site of two local landmarks, the Carnegie Medical Building and the Cleveland Play House complex.

Well, this is disappointing. These two planned parking garages would face a major thoroughfare but would make zero contributions to the public realm. The plans don't call for wrapping them with active uses, adding public art, or otherwise activating their surroundings. 🧵

Kevin Leeson @leeson.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

I think Google might be confused about this. The jagged boundary doesn't appear on the boundary files posted by the city (data.clevelandohio.gov/datasets/fa8...) or the county (geospatial.gis.cuyahogacounty.gov/datasets/6be...).
