Ross Douthat has recently interviewed a post-liberal far-left twitch streamer and a Christian nationalist and both, when asked about their most extreme views, say, โ€˜Oh, that's so far in the future, there's no point talking about it.โ€™ Rather suspicious!

(We will see how mature the reaction is here.)

If he has normal opinions about political violence, that makes him better by default. Dems should push out the current candidate and find a new one. The sooner the better, right?

Is Tylenol Safe in Pregnancy? | ParentData by Emily Oster Is it okay to take Tylenol in pregnancy?

Acetaminophen is not associated with any increased risk of autism or ADHD in a study of 2.5 million births comparing siblings. Also, the simplistic studies showing a relationship link autism to very high levels of the drug. We have good information that people can use to make an informed decision.

First, huge thanks and congrats to Sen.
@scottwiener.bsky.social.

Without his dogged persistence and desire to work with his colleagues and address their reasonable concerns, we never would have made it.

my one public (for now :)) reflection from attending the Abundance 2025 conference last week is that i met a lot of medium-to-mostly-offline people who have a very positive view of what they're trying to accomplish (more housing, more transit, more clean energy, etc)
