Someone, somewhere, had the foresight to use the Bad Bunny halftime performance as a really good treatment condition. I just wish it was me πŸ₯²

Hosted some of the international CU grad students that couldn’t go back home last night. Made them watch Elf and Nacho Libre. They are now true Americans.

[VICTORY ALERT] AB 130, which creates a broad CEQA exemption for infill housing projects, has been signed by Governor Newsom. Because it is part of the budget, it is effective immediately.

For years CEQA has been a tool used by NIMBYs-under the guise of caring about the environment-to prevent new housing. Burdensome CEQA rules have almost certainly increased sprawl and, ironically, led to worse environmental outcomes. This will lead to greater density and much needed housing. 🍾πŸ₯‚

This is a big fucking deal for California housing. California needs more housing and this is a huge step to achieve that goal.

9/ The data is clear: ideological moderation offers diminishing returns. To win, Democrats need strategies that excite their base, speak to the politically alienated, and meet the moment with urgencyβ€”not defend the old status quo. Authenticity beats triangulation.

Federalism is cool and all until you try to collect data and realize nothing is standardized.

I am especially grateful to all my peers, friends, family, and faculty that helped me along the way. In particular, I thank Jennifer Fitzgerald, Josh Strayhorn, and especially @aesokhey.bsky.social who put up with my half-baked ideas and pushed me to match his tempo.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?
