I'd settle for the public sector investing in almost-current technology... My kingdom for adequate bandwidth!

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

What's the point of an endowment if you're not gonna use it to insulate you from extortion?

Holy shit, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell corrected the orange felon’s lies on live television without hesitation. This is how you do it.

Chechov's dicta?

Second Amendment analysis under Bruen/Rahimi has had a good run for me, but then the looming pessimism that hangs over everything kicked in and now I dread the inevitable moment when "text and history" will be fully divorced from things like "words" or "the events and ideas of the early Republic."

+1 to... well, all of the above.
