Using AI is almost certainly harmful to us cognitively, emotionally, creatively, and socially. We should not use it. We should not normalize it.

One thing I really haven't seen Dems do this cycle is tie immigration crackdowns/ICE shit as a cause of the affordability crisis. Places are closing because they can't find work. Costs of groceries are up -- who works on farms? Etc etc. I worry they'll let this pass without connecting these dots.

our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

Another campaign finance report from the Yes on 3 (top-two primary) campaign, and again, it's almost all from private equity and the investor class. $1.3M in new money, and 80+% of it coming from just 8 donors--7 private equity executives and investment firm managers plus 1 investment firm itself

At exactly 0 times in my entire adult life have Democrats in Congress done what's actually necessary to hold Republicans accountable. I'm hoping this streak will be broken starting in January. But it's easy to see why Republicans think they can just keep getting away with it.

Here, and elsewhere, people talk about “efficiency” when what they really mean is “efficacy”. People want government that works, that can deliver desired results, and that’s absolutely possible with the right people in charge.

I really, really don't think people understand how outraged the public was about this at the time
DST
Repeal
To Save Kids,
Fla. Demands
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPI)
Florida officials demanded
an end to Daylight Saving Time
yesterday to "stop the slaugh-
ter of children" going to school
in the pre-dawn darkness.
With the death toll since
last Jan. 6, when DST was or-
dered by Congress to save
energy, put at 8 by the state
Department of Education,
Gov. Reubin Askew and state
Education Chief Floyd Chris-
tian called on Congress to
"promptly repeal" DST nation-
wide.
And State Senate President
Mallory Horne proposed a
special session of the Legisla-
ture for next week to take
Florida off DST immediately.
ASKEW CALLED an emer-
gency meeting of the state
board of education for Mon-
day morning to discuss the
possibility of asking school
boards to open school even
later than 9 A. M. and deter-
mine what other steps can be
taken to insure youngsters'
safety. The governor said he
also would ask the officials to
petition Congress to roll back
the clock so that Florida
won't be out of step with the
rest of the nation.
In listing eight victims,
Christian included a 16-year-
old boy, killed last Jan. 21
while riding his bike to
school, and a 17-year-old girl,
whose car crashed last Jan.
15 in the pre-dawn darkness.STATE

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a single lane 9 m wide track for metros, a 35 m wide road for buses with four lanes, and a 175 m wide road for cars with seven lanes, making the point that one single track of Metro replaces seven lanes of car traffic. Mobility in cities is about space.

When Virginia abolished capital punishment they added $3.9M back to their annual budget. Illinois added $4.7M to theirs. As far back as 2011, the ACLU estimated California could eliminate $1B in spending in five years. Abolition saves.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.
