maybe people aren't mad because inflation is higher than they want. maybe they're mad because the administration is intentionally pulling all the levers to make it worse.

so @paigeperriello.bsky.social is a doctor at my kids's pediatric office. why is your brother endorsing conspiracy theories about radiation from power lines poisoning water and killing livestock? is this the same level of scientific rigor you bring to your medical practice?

a good time to buy an e-bike is when the manufacturer releases a new model and the previous generation goes on clearance. most models don't change much from year to year, and unlike buying something used, you still get a warranty. a few good clearance sales going on at the moment: 🧵

Hypothesis: The "it's not X, it's Y" pattern that LLMs are so fond of outputting can be traced back to a single, very prevalent phrase in the training data:

A screen capture of a commercial for DiGiorno Pizza, reading "It's not delivery... It's DiGiorno."

Yesterday, we receovered another e-bike using airtags. The airtags were not hidden; the thief just didn't look. You don't necessarily have to be fancy. Just buy airtags, put them on your bike. (You may notice this is a weekly refrain. That's because AirTags recover > 1 bike a week.) amzn.to/3RkPtTG

This note gets it just right. You apologise for eating the plums, express sympathy for their owner and explain your motivation for eating them. Just one note: consider offering to replace the plums. This small gesture could do a lot to smooth things over

It’s important to build enough housing to bring the market price down, not just take some units off the market. Why? The market price is the price anyone can reliably get. No lotteries, knowing the right person, lucking into a cheap rent-controlled unit a decade ago.

no activity is fun when it feels like 105° out, but e-biking in the heat isn't quite as bad as i thought. better than getting into a hot car that's been baking in the sun all day, anyway.
