There are bobcats removing the remaining ice piles at the mostly snow free transit center.

Meanwhile I'm still "vehicular walking" in the partially clear right lane of a 6 lane road around my bus stop.

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.”

I would love this to be an anti-car ad from the transit system.

Thanks for digging into the history of these Tudor buildings. Very interesting!

I'm pretty sure I've heard this on Pod Save.

Alberta’s First Nations will have plenty to say about that ridiculous concept. Danielle Smith is #MapleMAGA

Look I know that “diversity is our strength” is cringe but: diversity is our strength. People who come from distinct cultural practices actively serving in community with one another. What a blessing to live in a world where that happens.

I think it was intentional to separate housing from commerce. It's a big deal to bring them back together again.

But they might be missing some amazing posts from me!

Ugh I'm on the Yglesias block list. That's so presumptive of my politics and just immature.

Or Siamese Dream. Or Adore.

I can't believe I don't see this band.

Yes! It's YA. It's a rif on YA academic coming of age novels. It's more in dialogue with Harry Potter and Poppy War than Jonathan Strange or whatever. It's not meant to be historically accurate or unsubtle or whatever. I found it brilliant for what it is, and it absolutely sticks the landing.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

<2,000: how many people wrote letters of opposition about to the council about the University Blvd Corridor Plan.

229,289: how many times people boarded the M12-University Blvd bus in September 2025.

The road is overbuilt. They already have 3 lanes for a single car most of the day.

Looks crunchy.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Fantastic article that cuts through the confusion and dysfunction around public hearings. Thank you to Casey for writing this!

This is an excellent piece about the limitations inherent to public engagement, not a call to stop doing it, but a call to recognize it for what it is and, more crucially, what it is not.

It also comes from MoCo’s former planning board chair, who knows what he’s talking about.

Please read it

Sorry Bill, it is what it is.

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

Up First is a 12 to 15 min daily headlines podcast from NPR and very good for what it is and very strange to have it in the same category as hours long bro-hangs.

Tbh he could have been stronger but it's politics.

Slow pan over Kemp Mill parking lot ... 🙃

I saw all the meetings. There's wasn't much more she could do without support from the rest of the committee.

This should be high on the list of worst things he's said.

If something is nice, it means more people will want to go there.

NIMBYs where I live would worry about crime and car traffic.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
