For two early critiques, read Daniel Patrick Moynihan's Maximum Feasible Misunderstanding and Tom Wolfe's Mau-mauing the Flak Catchers.

Exactly…If they tried to expand subway into Hell’s Kitchen my neighbors with cars would go blue shouting that they can't have their street-parking disrupted by construction, and kibosh the project.

Musk scorned “shady” loopholes, yet offshore tax tricks likely saved Tesla hundreds of millions When Tesla released its annual report for U.S. regulators in January, the Texas-based automaker, led by the world’s richest man, reported a federal tax bill of zero dollars for 2025.

US DOT's new "Freedom to Drive Initiative" focuses on addressing congestion by:
—"Building new roadway capacity"
—"Recover[ing] roadway capacity from other purposes [e.g., biking & transit] to support driving"

[There is no evidence that either of these strategies work to address congestion.]

Scenes from a personalist regime: A nominee to an independent federal body refuses to acknowledge that the President ever lost an election.

Trump says he 'expects to be bombing' if no progress made in Iran talks It comes as Iran's parliamentary speaker says Tehran is preparing

Such a piece of shit. Zero negotiation skills. Just bullying.

In der Savanne. Ein Zebra hat sich einen riesigen Hai auf den Rücken gebunden, der drohend einen eingeschüchterten Löwen anknurrt. Zebra (denkt): "Allein schon der Blick isses wert."

Guten Morgen!

As an occasional cyclist in the city I feel this.
Yesterday I cycled from Hell’s Kitchen to Union Square. While the cycle path along the Hudson was great, I was more cautious crosstown…And STILL got there faster than transit/car.

Removing on-street parking would help.

i'm not saying that the Democrats should immediately announce a Universal Basic Pierogis campaign but I'm not not saying that

An epic bridge opening ceremony in #Helsinki on Saturday. So many happy people. #cycling #onelesscar #KruunuvuoriBridge

"Holy Fuck, the cars."
Is one of the major public health crises afflicting America.

Medical diagnosis is actually one of those cases where machine learning is incredibly useful and can detect patterns that the human eye cannot.

But that relies on having good data, not using a data set that has a bunch of impossible numbers in it

moonshot: Apple TV, but as a short throw projector, akin to the Sony LSPX-P1…

Those were cool.

That ePaper news paper you see in Minority Report.
Launch a Broadsheet renaissance.

I would simultaneously announce the Apple Fund, intended to fund and accelerate improvements to municipal and state governments *and* Apple's electric car. Destroy Tesla and Uber in one press release.

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

Donald has claimed Iran has been defeated almost as many times as my trolls have claimed Ukraine has been.
