Every six months a writer goes on parental leave, is driven insane by watching 10,000 hours of Paw Patrol, and writes another one of these articles, and they're always great.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

Everybody, absolutely everybody, saw Callais coming. It’s the logical outgrowth of a successful effort to gut the Voting Rights Act that spans decades, predicated upon a myopic understanding of racial discrimination and an antebellum conception of federalism. That doesn’t make this any easier.

It must be emphasized: every credible organization, from medial societies (the AMA, APA, AAP, and WPATH) to anti-hate groups (GLAAD, HRC, PFLAG) to its own contributors (hundreds of them) has decried their trans coverage as biased and cruel. Their sneering response is self-delegitimizing.

here’s a crazy fact: under congestion pricing, NYC subway ridership grew by more than the *total* number of riders on BART last year

The first year of congestion pricing in New York saw straphangers take more than 90 million additional subway rides than in the previous year, a new report from the Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to the MTA (PCAC) found.
According to the rider advocacy group's analysis, which it released on Tuesday, ridership on the city's rails grew from 1.21 billion to 1.3 billion between 2024 and 2025. The bump marked a 7.7% rise - double the increase in ridership between 2023 and
2024.

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

"A data table summarizing the results of a literature review on various hormone therapy interventions for binary and non-binary groups. It lists ten intervention categories, detailing the number of full texts assessed, studies included, and studies excluded for each. The bottom row shows a total of 547 texts assessed, 17 studies included, and 530 studies excluded."

For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.
