That One Other Guy

First thing I thought of when they started demolishing the East Wing. His MO is to get it destroyed before anyone can do anything to preserve it.

Similarly, rural people (where I live) repeatedly talk about the higher quality of living in rural areas. Yet, housing is much more expensive in urban areas. Why do you think that is?

As someone who lived in ATL at the time, what we were promised was disaster if their policies were implemented. What we got was the world's busiest airport, early and under-budget (among other things).

WATCH: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

It's a fantastic piece, Roth (required to call you Roth), that I've read about a half-dozen times and recommended to others. I wouldn't say it made me feel better but it was consoling. Kinda hoping Defector will buy the rights to reprint it from Flaming Hydra.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

EZPass payment system down for two days but support says they won't push back the due date as a result. They fired all the toll takers so you're required to pay online via toll-by-plate.

Just complete but unsurprising incompetence for a state-sanctioned monopoly that sometimes can't be avoided.

Plaque with text: Here, at the Nittany Lion Inn, on April 20, 1952, more than 100 leaders in education, broadcasting and government gathered to accept a challenge from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to begin a non-commercial educational television service. The Honorable Paul S. Walker, then chairman of the FCC, announced that in response to petitions from educators, television channels had been set aside for educational uses. Plans then were made here at Penn State that led to national educational television broadcasting and later the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), including Penn State's own station, WPSX-TV, Channel 3.

To be fair, they all do this.

Interesting that the value of gathering more user data to sell via app easily surpasses the value of being findable on the Internet. Says a lot!

Yes, this. The Guardian tells me how many articles I've read in a year but refuses to tell me the value of those articles even though I would be willing to pay. Forcing a subscription model on every reader, no matter how itinerant, is leaving money on the table. Seems bad...for them.

Get in line, man.

On the other hand, Furry Happy Monsters on Sesame Street was awesome. Muppet Kate!

Sycophants can never become leaders, no matter how desperately their organizations or communities need them to become leaders.

I make small donations to Wikipedia periodically because I use it periodically. If they utilize AI in any way, that will stop.

I discovered e-biking a week ago and have since biked ~150 miles.

idk man i've been shoved into what basically amounted to high pressure sales seminars for block chain, MOOCs, NFTs, and god knows how many CMS tools every year since i started this job. in some ways unis are resistent to change and in a lot of other ways they are the most gullible mark in the room

No.

Put this (and others) on a (nice) t-shirt. I will buy one and wear it.

If the Supreme Court cannot defend the clear wording of the Constitution, then there is no Constitution. If there is no Constitution then there isn't a point in having a Supreme Court.

I don't understand why every Democratic elected representative is not saying this.

If you're not already familiar with it, you should look up Visualizing Black America, a book compilation based on the graphics that W. E. B. Du Bois and his students created for the 1900 Paris Exposition. Amazing.

Baby's Tesla, some defacement.

The only thing worse is the "psychic deathmarch" where the lead won't say what they want and it's up to you to guess through a series of endless meetings until they "acquiesce" to the correct guesses.

there’s a funny paradox to me in creative work which i call “the horse shaped box.” basically: lead wants to give IC a space to work within, with constraints. but the constraints are extremely specific; “you can put anything you brainstorm into this box!” but the box is shaped exactly like a horse

How is that if you "set a variable VMT tax schedule based on the weight of the vehicle?"

Keep the gas tax but reduce it by a small VMT. In my state, the odometer reading is part of the annual inspection. Set a variable VMT tax schedule based on the weight of the vehicle. Transition from gas tax to VMT based on the ratio of gas vehicles to alt fuel vehicles over time.
