Love how the new talking point for data centers is calling them "knowledge manufacturing," which is actually the higher education sector and the one the Administration is actively trying to destroy.

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

Alll of this. I started my career in construction, working office jobs alongside people who worked trades. Know how many 60-year-old guys I saw working as bricklayers? Doing demo? Zero. How many 50-year-old roofers there are? Zero. One reason unions fight for high wages is because careers are SHORT.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph

Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

"Scaled globally, these unit costs translate to roughly USD 2.1 trillion in private and USD 7.2 trillion in social costs per year under an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV)-dominated system, totaling approximately USD 9.3 trillion annually, equivalent to 8.3% of global GDP."

This study quantifies the private and social costs of global automobility and evaluates the potential economic benefits of a transition to shared electric autonomous mobility-as-a-service (E-AV-MaaS). Using comprehensive cost components, including accidents, emissions, air pollution, noise, infrastructure, land use, and resource impacts, it is estimated that private car travel currently incurs approximately USD 0.16 per vehicle-kilometer in private costs and USD 0.55 per vehicle-kilometer in social costs. Scaled globally, these unit costs translate to roughly USD 2.1 trillion in private and USD 7.2 trillion in social costs per year under an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV)-dominated system, totaling approximately USD 9.3 trillion annually, equivalent to 8.3% of global GDP. Under a full E-AV-MaaS scenario with 25% reduced vehicle-kilometers traveled, social costs fall to approximately USD 0.30 per kilometer and USD 2.4 trillion in total. Private costs are estimated between USD 0.7 and 1.9 trillion, as lower parking expenditures are offset by the higher per-kilometer cost of autonomous electric vehicle services; private cost comparisons do not account for mode-specific utility derived from car ownership. This scenario reduces the global cost of automobility by roughly USD 5.6 trillion, driven almost entirely by social cost reductions. The results underscore that 77% of the cost of automobility is currently externalized.

I understand why they're doing this, but fuck them. These mayors can't guarantee the safety of their own citizens from ICE, and they sure as hell can't guarantee the safety of Canadian visitors. Also, North Dakota, where 2/3 of voters voted for Trump, wants foreigners to come back? Fuck them twice.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.

Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET

As the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”

One of the things you discover pretty rapidly when reading older novels is that the excuse "oh, they were a product of their time" is bullshit. EVERYONE is a product of their time. But some people give in to the bigotries of their time, and other people work to transcend them.
