This engineers review of The Power Broker is incredible (and buried in Amazon comments) “This book is a great blueprint on how to get things done, but it's a hatchet job on Moses regarding the Cross Bronx.” www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review...

Check out this Amazon review of The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York
This book is a great blueprint on how to get things done, but it's a hatchet job on Moses regarding the Cross Bronx.

The problem with US charity is that it’s not effective enough
The New York Times painted a misleading picture. Less than 0.2 percent of US charity is ruthlessly optimized.

Facebook seems determined that I *must* be into pokemon (and also ... Dragon Ball Z?). It keeps suggesting engagement bait pokemon reels, pages, memes, etc. Not sure whether to keep ignoring them, or just give in and encourage it because at least the suggested slop won't give me brain worms 🤔

Phonebank. At the very least if you really do care about this issue follow Keyboards for Kamala's advice on how to talk to potential voters:
4. How to be persuasive on the Internet

4.1 Be attractive. Don't be unattractive.

Persuading people can be hard! But it doesn't have to be too mysterious. In the age old wisdom of Reddit:

Be Attractive:
Be reasonable, honest, friendly, open

Be humble. Acknowledge that people have concerns

Be curious. Ask questions and listen

Don't be unattractive
Don't attack people's values

Don't call them stupid-trying to "logic" someone into agreeing with you is often a mistake

A thoughtful conversation is much more effective than image macros or memes.

Gunmen shot up a synagogue in Dagestan. You may remember Dagestan from when a mob encircled a flight from Israel and demanded to know "where the Jews are!" (and you may remember *that* incident from a certain lefty journalist questioning whether it was antisemitic or just targeting "zionists").

Synagogues in Dagestan, Russia, targeted alongside churches in terror attack - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The attack took place in the same region where a mob sought out passengers coming from Israel in 2023.
