Which things?

Look, I love polling, considerably more than most people. But if you start crafting an agenda from what polls well, rather than starting with what a better world looks like, one that connects to the general public's needs, and how you get from here to there, then you have no business in politics

How concerned are people about rising health insurance premiums? With premium tax credit enhancements about to expire and ACA marketplace open enrollment underway, search volumes for terms like “health premium increase” are (almost) off the charts.

"This is not just a battle over tariffs," explains Evan Bernick of the Northern Illinois University College of Law. "It is a battle between competing political economies within the American right. And how it works out will speak to just who ultimately has hegemony, who... is shaping the law of the United States." While Bernick expects the businesses and states challenging the tariffs to prevail, "if they do not," he says, "that tells me things about the relative power of these competing factions that I did not previously know.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Dear tech journalists,

You really need to write about this, it's too important to ignore, Kevin and @malwaretech.com are the two best people here to talk to about it, tyvm

Cuomo, in sharp contrast, was born penniless in a log cabin in the heartland of the country

Thank you!

What is this from?

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

No I’m trying to get you to recognize that you can disagree with someone without resorting to absolutism.

There are so many more deserving people you can yell at. Why spend your energy on a dude who gets it mostly right?

And how is that failing when that’s more than most NYT pundits?

Is he? He’s one of the largest voices calling out the situation in Gaza. He was among the first major political writers to suggest Biden drop out, before it became vogue.

I can understand disagreeing with him, but to say he is failing, I think, goes too far.

1) every time LLMs have been tested for coding it has been found it makes development slower, although it feels faster

2) they are useless for "general enquiries" because they have no mechanism to detect truth, they just spit out likely text in a way that emulates human produced output

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

This is my point again that the electorate has no idea of what's actually going on. Not in some ideological way, so you can argue whether it's good or not, just in a fact way.

This is the perfect distillation of why baseball is great.

He famously was terrible in college, so i find it funny when people assume he’s some sort of honor roll know it all

Nah he’s just trying his best like the rest of us. It’s weird that huge amounts of people think otherwise.

I think part of that triangulation is the way political power is distributed in the US, eg. to favor land over people.

In which Palantir recruits high school students for fellowships by telling them to skip college because its holds little value and then puts them through a cherry-picked curriculum that oddly resembles… college

Immigration Agents Clash With Chicago-Area Residents on Halloween The state’s governor had called for a pause in the federal immigration crackdown over the Halloween weekend, citing concerns for children’s safety.

Federal immigration agents fanned out across Chicago and its North Shore suburbs on Halloween, chasing suspects through front yards, driving SUVs onto sidewalks and using chemical agents during confrontations with furious residents.
