Excited to meet @kevinroose.com at his book debut talk at Kepler's for his new book, The AGI Chronicles! I'm diving in this week, and I'm looking forward to the launch of Kevin and @caseynewton.bsky.social ial's new Machine Gods podcast later this month. (I've been assured new merch is on its way.)

Be careful out there on your bike. If you're riding a legal e-bike and hit by a car you might be blamed for anything after that point. This framing will continue to be repeated and it's maddening. The ND comment is wild in general but especially wild to blame a child for riding their bike legally.

It’s amazing how weaponized sentence structure can be. 'The bicyclist collided with the car'? The bicyclist?! By that logic, maybe we need AI to interrogate the next deer that maliciously assaults an SUV for failing to yield.

"...a more generous way to think about Hopkins Street and the yearning to save it from bike lanes. When the world keeps closing in around you, maybe even tiny changes feel like too much."

I felt and respected their sadness. Some of them probably also felt trapped, like my mother and father. Because another strange side effect of anti-housing politics is that, along with everything else, it has blocked the construction of senior housing. What little there is often costs so much that selling the old place and downsizing doesn’t pencil out, unless you want to leave everything and everyone familiar by moving, say, up to Oregon, a privileged option but not everybody’s dream for life’s final chapter. As a result, in this city teeming with students who can’t afford their own bedrooms, countless old folks like my mother and father knock around big half-empty houses — which is maybe a more generous way to think about Hopkins Street and the yearning to save it from bike lanes. When the world keeps closing in around you, maybe even tiny changes feel like too much.

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.

"I wish President Trump could hear the mom's wails. The

family wants people to know that this was a suicide and they

want people to know that President Trump, (Stephen) Miller, and Markwayne Mullin's inhumane immigration policies made this happen," Ruby wrote.

The Trump administration has filed 36 emergency applications since last February, which have generated 31 conclusive rulings. In those 31 rulings, the Court has voted *for* Trump in whole or in part 27 times (87.1%), and against him four times (12.9%). Here's a chart covering all of these rulings:

It does not feel like a coincidence that, much like Mr. Rogers, Dolly Parton, also a Christian, sent notes with her books saying how proud she was of kids. She tried to reaffirm the idea that children were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Christ and therefore are worthy.
