Zelij does tmux protocol? Might be a good choice to attach to...

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

If you are on Mac Orbstack is pretty nice for this too!

Congratulations!!!

You're absolutely right!

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

I Thought I Knew Silicon Valley. I Was Wrong Tech got what it wanted by electing Trump. A year later, it looks more like a suicide pact.

This is a terrific story about how Silicon Valley has drastically changed, written by the excellent veteran tech reporter Steven Levy. @stevenlevy.bsky.social

We need more housing in all the good places! With the exception of Houston, all cities have gone poorly because of their zoning...

Love my gorgeous multicultural city. I can only hope the future is this, everywhere

Portland comes to the rescue! 🛟

A great view over the "Death Hollow" between the towns of Boulder and Escalante.

It is along the Boulder Mail Trail, a wonderful path.

Kyle Cranmer and Rich Sutton at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum, September 16, 2025.

Is scale all you need? Or is there still a role for incorporating domain knowledge and inductive bias? While I was in Heidelberg, I took some time to write a short essay on this question called "The Bittersweet Lesson".

The US town that pays every pregnant woman $1,500: ‘We’re not OK with our babies being born into poverty’ Infants in Rx Kids in Flint, Michigan, saw lower rates of prematurity and other issues, saving millions in NICU visits

So Flint, Michigan gave $1,500 to all pregnant people, plus $500 each month for the first year of the child’s young life.

It saved Flint $6.2 million dollars a year, due to lower rates of rates of prematurity and low birth weight, with fewer corresponding admissions.

The right thing, AND cheaper.
