NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Today I realized I’m going to be:

– the 10th RM ever
– the first Canadian RM, and
– the first woman to serve in this role

If you ask me, that’s all really, really cool.

Eevee!

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

It’s what I call the Field of Dreams fallacy. Just because you build it (buy new tech) doesn’t mean they’ll come (enact successful change). The change needs to be the higher priority with the tech being one component of the strategy, not the tech being the solution by itself.

Have they truly not noticed, or have they noticed and are purposely not saying anything to see how long you’ll commit to the bit? Like a game of chicken.

But then you show up to one of those session anyways and there are plenty of open seats 🤷‍♂️

The 1 billionth GitHub repository has been created and it’s absolutely perfect.

But how did you order your hash browns at Waffle House?

“Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals”

Imagine showing this to someone from 10 years ago and asking them what kind of political situation they thought might produce such a statement from JP Morgan.

Your annual reminder that because February is 9% shorter than January was, your monthly metrics will be down nearly 10% this month, and not to freak out about this.

Journalists should report the truth the way this judge laid it out.

@timodechau.bsky.social has some great articles (and a whole book!) about doing this in a smart way.

Congrats!!

One would think! But if it were true, we wouldn’t have nearly as many clients.

Glad you like the article! We’re wanting to write more technical posts like this in 2025.

I don’t know if we “rediscovered” it — BDC was modeling like this since before I joined. We’re just talking about it externally more!

In your defense, sometimes they go awry even when they _do_ sleep 🫠

Who would have thought that Wired would be one of the few places actually doing critical and necessary journalism?

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

> I would bet…

Oh no; the call is coming from inside the house!

It will be my wife’s annual video game as well and she’s excited!

Been avoiding illness all school year and then the twins both get a respiratory bug complete with fever on Thanksgiving week. And we’re hosting this year. 🫠

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to unilaterally close four out of every five Social Security offices, and replace the experienced, knowledgeable Social Security workers with AI chatbots.
We must keep fighting to protect the benefits and customer service we’ve already paid for.
