Personally, if it had been me, I would have defeated Snow White in the market place of ideas.


Only halfway through catching up on the season, but I can honestly say #ThePeripheral is one of the best shows out there. Excellently executed and brilliantly acted poli sci fi - desperate for another season already. #RenewThePeripheral


Hidalgo and her team’s work to slowly but surely transform Paris is one of the great urban revolutions of my (admittedly relatively short) lifetime. 💙🤍❤️

Here’s what Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo knew when she took office in 2014: It wasn’t the hills, weather or culture that was preventing Parisians from cycling; it was a lack of safe infrastructure. With that revelation—and some immense courage—she has unleashed a revolution in the city.

Since we're airing grievances: y'all are stingy with the retweets!


Sometimes the only critique you need of a suspiciously elaborate self-justificatory philosophy is to point to the con critters preaching it and say “it’s a con”. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I'm a philistine but I think it's a mistake to try to understand Sam Bankman-Fried by looking at utilatarianism, consequentialism, longtermism. Better to look at W.C. Fields and the philosophy of "never give a sucker an even break."



It’s easy to forget that every U.S. electoral development now takes place in a world of de facto legalized racial gerrymandering.

In a 218-217 world - or a 219-216 or 220-215 world for that matter - there will be no shortage of what if’s. For me, the most immediate is the failure to create additional Black congressional districts in AL, LA & GA despite court orders holding that the VRA required just that.

“Before…expansion, only nine out of 35 seats on New York’s City Council were held by nonwhite council members. More council seats helped increase Black, Latino and Asian representation in City Hall; in 2021 there were 35 people of color on the…council” latimes.com/opinion/story/…

“Just as money wields a silencing power at City Hall, so does the council president. We can change this dynamic and offer a true voice for the people by amending the City Charter to create an elected office of public advocate.” By yours truly latimes.com/opinion/story/…
