FAA reducing air traffic by 10% across 40 'high-volume' markets during government shutdown The Federal Aviation Administration says it plans to reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown.

If you don't need to fly to or within the US, you might want to hold off.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Thanks

Is it possible that he looks almost exactly the same on both days or more likely someone is spreading misinformation?

How can I report misinformation?

Exactly! Mamdani's most "radical" proposals — free buses, government grocery stores, higher taxes on the wealthy, a huge increase in affordable housing — really aren't that radical.

The centrist meltdown has to be about something else.

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

@tgoerke.bsky.social hey nice to meet you!

On my way to Berlin today for local first conf next week!

The fact that the stock market swings by 1000 points every time the man opens his mouth is not a sign of a strong and healthy economy.

👇🎯 Again, your periodic reminders that it is not the 1950s anymore, the median voter works in the nontradable services sector, therefore she experiences international trade <only> as a consumer, the balance of payments has two sides, & the mercantilism is just going to make everyone a lot poorer.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen If Bukele doesn't want to meet in D.C., I'll go to El Salvador to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Look at how X summarizes the Abrego Garcia story (remembering that he is not MS-13, or guilty of anything at all)

If any 3 increasingly disgruntled republican congresspeople are reading this, just a small reminder that enough house members can force mike johnson to put articles of impeachment up for a floor vote, and it only takes a simple majority to adopt them. Don't worry about the senate, just count to 218.

It's time for everyone to contact their senators and representatives to ask for them to submit legislation forbidding the U.S. from arrangements to hold people on American soil in foreign prisons.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

RFK was lead poisoned as a child

It is getting hard to keep track of all the ways this administration is putting people’s lives at risk

As a chronically anxious perfectionist, I always feel that I come up short, that I could & should do more & be better. I've always envied my husband who just *does not* do this. Last night, (after 15 years of marriage), he explained his secret: "It's "W.A.R"" he said, "Wins Above Replacement." 🧵

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see

1. The data it was trained & evaluated on

2. The code

3. Model architecture

4. Model weights.

DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

Experts urge caution over use of Chinese AI DeepSeek Oxford professor advises against putting private data on platform in case it could be shared with Chinese state

With all due respect to my British colleagues, the problem of personal #data is not uniquely bad if it's #China that gets it. Losing control over your date to any sufficiently powerful entity is bad, and it's probably worse for your (western) life if say, the insurance industry, gets it.

This is part of the Project 2025 plan. If you want to see the future of academia here, see how Victor Orbán dismantled the university system in Hungary. Inform yourselves. The brilliance of this as a specific point of attack is frightening, and it is effective. It has to be resisted now, not later.

The Walmart Effect New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices.

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty.
