this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Some even have allergies.

Do none of you typeset your briefs in LaTeX?

*ducks*

Glad it works for you because phew the manual periods would wreck me

Your lawyering work, essential as it is, is sometimes inscrutable

Can you say why you think this is a good use of a prediction market when vote counts aren’t yet available? Isn’t it betting based on vibes?

My wife and kids have more immediate ancestry by descent so they go first.

Again, looking forward to being part of a new diaspora

Love this FT graphic on Strait of Hormuz flow.

(Note: likely understates flow because this will not capture tankers who are making the run with their transponders turned off—and, tbh, if I was making the run I wouldn't want my transponder on)

I dictate email responses while driving, walking to the train, walking the dog, etc.

Would you believe if I told you the dean’s email job was maybe even worse?

incredible, he did the joke

Every community has its horrors, unfortunately. I grew up in Boston, which among other things did not have a more enlightened history of harbor prison camps

tired: genetic data being sold or weaponized
wired: genetic data giving you new citizenship data

Relevant anchor baby ancestors are from Nova Scotia 👀

Thank god for expansive visions of birthright citizenship, eh?

No joke, this is how years of Ancestry.com memberships are going to pay off for my family.

A map showing the increase in units allowed by right for Chicago parcels if HB 5626 passes. The map shows Chicago with parcels colored blue (1 unit increase), green (2-3 units), orange (4-5 units), and red (6-7 units). Many parcels are also uncolored, indicating no increase in the units allowed. Chicago's community area boundaries are also shown.

In the gov's State of the State speech, he championed a "missing middle" zoning reform bill that would legalize at least two units on any 2500+ sqft parcel allowing single-family homes.

By my calculation, that'd increase the by-right zoning capacity in Chicago by at least 775,000 units. Some notes:

Bizarro multiverse Trey

Incredible. Kalshi is not paying out "Khamenei out of power by [date]" contracts because he died.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god
