Public school schedules were built for a stay-at-home-parent economy that hasn’t existed in 50 years. Expecting 9-5 workers to magically manage 9:40 start times and random 2 PM early releases without losing their jobs is a logistical joke.

X has now confirmed a Chinese bot farm of 200K fake accounts intentionally trying to manipulate public opinion against data centers.
People might want to consider how common this has become and how it is manipulating multiple policy discussions on social media.

Despite some bogus grants, a lot of government is like this cartoon. I bet this "small team" would find a line item for "screwworm sterilization" and delete it, not knowing that they just devastated American farming: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Ben Sasse: "What’s really happening is these superdevices in our pockets — the largest tools any median individual’s ever had access to in all of human history — allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live, the places where we break bread, the people who are living next door to us, the people that you can physically touch and hug, the small platoons of real community, and we allow our consciousness to go really far away"

I personally don't understand nor comprehend the negativity surrounding this team and these players by the hands of our own Knicks fans.
A.) We've won 51 games despite a new head coach while having to learn brand new Offensive and Defensive systems.
B.) We've got an opportunity to win 54 games for the 1st time since 2012-2013 of 13 years ago.
C.) We're featuring the 3rd best Offensive Rating, 6th best Defensive Rating and the 5th best NET Rating (despite Mitchell Robinson being load managed throughout the entire season).
And since our Players-only-Meeting (1-21-2026) dating back to 36 games ago?
Defensive Rating
#1: OKC
#2: New York
Offensive Rating
#1: Charlotte
#2: San Antonio
#3: Cleveland
#4: Denver
#5: New York
Net Rating:
#1: San Antonio
#2: Charlotte
#3: New York
We've gone 26-10 throughout our previous 36 games @ .722% (59 wins per 82 game season).
And last but not least we're being led by the greatest New York Knick since dating back to only Patrick Ewing in Jalen Brunson.

As you read about Anthropic's Mythos capabilities to find critical security weaknesses, consider what if a Chinese AI company had gotten here first. There is a real race underway, and its in our interest I believe for U.S. companies to win.

China knows exactly what this does. Their domestic version of TikTok caps kids under 14 at 40 minutes a day, locks access between 6am and 10pm, and swaps the entire feed to educational content. Science, history, museums.
The version they export to everyone else? Unlimited, unrestricted, pure dopamine on demand.
When kids in the US and China were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, the number one answer in America was influencer. In China it was astronaut.
Macron calls this a cognitive war. Export what dulls young minds and keep what makes them intelligent for your own population.
This is the most effective weapon ever deployed against a generation’s ability to think.

Standing ovation for @MarkJCarney at Davos. (Those do not happen often). Brutally honest assessment of the situation Trump is creating for the world and the new approach middle powers now need to take. One of those speeches worth reading in full. Check it out

Just the other day, I asked a realtor why housing here in my waterfront area of Rhode Island was so pricey, and he noted that the McMansions and condos were full of illegal immigrants

Sydney has the most beautiful new train stations. We managed to build it without needing to put Xi Jinping in power for life.
I’ve been traveling to China for nearly 20 years, whenever someone from America asks me, “What’s life in China like?” My response is always this. “I would tell you but you probably won’t believe me”
This video shows why. Hard for most Americans to comprehend how advanced, clean, safe, and futuristic China has become. It’s one of the world’s biggest success stories and China will continue inventing tech that change the future of our world 🌍

A case study in why electricity prices are a HUGE deal for manufacturing.
Texas: $0.07/kWh
UK: $0.34/kWh
Running a system that draws 100kW for 2 shifts/day, 240 days/yr would cost $26,880/yr in Texas vs. $130,560, a >$100k/yr difference.
And 100kW is small.

Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk:
You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it....
That was not all Kirk’s doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk’s project.
Well said.

it makes me think we have too few examples of work environments that prioritize deep focus, individual agency, async collaboration, no meetings
the collective acceptance that all work must be inside a panopticon is depressing

Hero… and for all those spewing race-baiting crap about the gunman yesterday, Officer Islam was an immigrant from Bangladesh.
America was built on people like him, never forget that.
Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department.Â
He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today.
We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy.
