One of the best airport experiences in my life was gliding through the brand spankin’ new LaGuardia terminal so quickly for a flight to Chicago that I was able to easily be put on the earlier flight on the same route.
Can’t get that level of air travel nirvana if you’re cutting it close every time.
Cool times.
This piece begins with Amity Shlaes' most common and most deceitful trick -- citing the unemployment numbers in 1938, when the country fell into a recession because FDR had been persuaded to *ease off* the New Deal, as proof that the New Deal didn't work.
Pure hackery.

"Silicon samples" are becoming more and more common in research and polling.
One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want.

Oh wow I’m so shocked and awed that a thing that can’t get tired won a test of endurance. The future is now. Wow.
If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
Every day a different billionaire says the most horrific movie villain thing you've ever heard but this guy and a grandpa from Vermont are the scary ones because they want to tax them
There has to be some remedy to stop this from happening this isn’t just “well
impeach him!”
A few thousand words on council reorganization proposals, or even a few hundred on a new development in Whitney, feels like it deserves a different standard than a campaign flyer…
@oxfordclarion.bsky.social looking forward to the elections on “X May”

Ginsberg not retiring at age 80 after 20 years on the bench was one of the great disasters of modern liberalism, and it blows my mind that so many liberals still stitch her face onto tote bags.
JD Vance has been Catholic for like 2 weeks. The Pope has held a Doctorate in Canon Law since 1987…
It’d be insane for JD Vance to try and “well actually” him about doctrine even if he wasn’t the Pope!
The funny (not actually funny) thing is that had Orban won, you know NYT would have pointed to that and gone, "See? Right-wing populism is as strong as ever! If Democrats want to win, they need to move to the right!"
It's always "heads, I win; tails, you lose" with these clowns.
In the kayfabe it’s funny for a Catholic to argue with the guy hand-picked by God to represent him about religious doctrine…
But in reality this is just the erosion of expertise we see everywhere applied to religion. To get high up in the church requires lots of advanced theology study and degrees!
Anyway, while they talked to some very good people for this article, it's a rare feeling to wonder why the NY TImes didn't bother reaching out to you for comment.
"Dr. Makary [...] added that the agency was using artificial intelligence and other technology to screen for noncompliance."
We've been running the FDAAA TrialsTracker for 8 years now without any need for AI FYI. It's just not that hard.
"Drug developers are legally required to post results from many studies on ClinicalTrials.gov [...] But for years, many have not done so: Roughly 30 percent of studies examined in an internal FDA analysis had not reported their results to the database."

What’s the gist of this? Don’t have a NYT subscription.
Lmao…I really hope whoever comes next just takes a thrasher to all this Trump era nonsense.
Filing a FOIA request to get the prompt that generated this.
I think we can make a good Rorschach test over what you see in the front three figures in the clouds.
I see, from L to R:
Chewbacca
Lady Liberty with Angel Wings

Great time to also be killing off immigration as the one bulwark against a demographic apocalypse!
Hey, real quick, if the President is brazenly corrupt in office what’s that remedy?
My “I’ve never been friends with Jeffrey Epstein” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.
