Last night, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told me something I keep thinking about: While Democrats may want to celebrate, they need to remember that this isn't a sporting event. This is Americans sending the strongest signal possible that they are in pain, and hurting, and want help. Now Congress needs to answer that call. It was powerful stuff, and if the party is smart they'll follow his instincts.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

It's truly incredible to watch a bunch of people — purportedly the smartest we've got — on repeat, tell us the thing they are building and refuse to stop building is going to kill us all. I've never seen anything like it, and I have no idea how to even begin talking about it.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

And the State of North Carolina still wants Charlotte to repay them $70M for trying to prevent the same ole, same ole from happening.
They widened the highways and added toll lanes, and it still looks like this. Denver is LA now.

I think young people should start voting
89% of senior citizens support raising taxes on younger workers to maintain their benefits. The median primary voter is 65.

Charlotte is the most underrated city in the country and it’s not even close • Affordable • Nice people • Great weather • High paying jobs • Cool neighborhoods • Short drive to the beach or mountains
Underrated city rankings: 1. Charlotte 2. Tampa 3. Pittsburgh 4. Cincinnati 5. Kansas City 6. Columbus 7. Richmond 8. Greenville 9. Indianapolis 10. Milwaukee Criteria: • Good jobs • Attractive people • Affordable enough • Can still get a reservation without knowing the owner

The urban core generates almost all of a typical U.S. city's tax revenue but most of it goes to fund roads, sewer lines, power lines et al in suburbs. If suburbs paid for themselves, rather than leaching off the city, I think a lot more people would be live and let live on this.
Replying to @Euthenos_
Rural people and suburbanites do not care one bit abt how city people choose to live. You do you. Urban collectivists make it their life’s mission to ensure everyone lives exactly like they do.

You can’t really argue this. They believe in investing in the people and infrastructure.

Pacers haven't moved up in a single draft lottery since 1989 lol. 37 seasons without a single time of moving up.
