I still can't believe that the trick to defeating journalism was to just be so openly evil that reporting on it accurately sounds partisan.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

“Bla Bla Bla For All” group which is just a room of 6 bored people on a nice sunny day arms folded complaining about the city. it would be so easy to eye roll at these but the city genuinely listens to them. these groups aren’t for “all”, they are for None.

One of the most enduring myths is that “American cities were built for cars.” No. Our cities were *destroyed* for the car. We had dense, walkable cities as beautiful as Europe. DOTs razed entire neighborhoods to make way for freeways and demolished downtowns for parking lots.

Myth: Los Angeles was built around the car. Reality: Los Angeles was built around a few hundred walkable, transit-oriented town centers.

The xz backdoor is, well, setting a fire under the entire Linux ecosystem... but I'm also so impressed with how it was set up: 2-yr maintainership, oss-fuzz, etc. ...and who knows how long it would've stayed undetected if the injected sshd code ran faster (<600ms) Highlights:


The homelessness crisis in the US exists because of its prosperity, not in spite of it. The problem itself is evidence of America’s means to solve it. It’s time to pay up.

I think a harm of online activism is the "THIS IS ACTUALLY EASY" argument. I've seen lots of folks indicate that a single billionaire could solve homelessness, or that there are 30x more houses than homeless people so we could just give them all houses. These words are…



I was just reminded of this classic moment demonstrating the Seattle Process.

If you've traveled over Snoqualmie Pass you may have seen these little houses on top of some of our sign bridges. Inside is a bicycle that our avalanche specialists pedal to move the tram up the hill with the explosives. Nothing too fancy.

I renew my plea for a big org -- @nytimes or @CNN or whatever -- to do a simple service for voters: compare a state with a new Dem trifecta to a state with a new GOP trifecta. You want to see what the parties stand for, what they want? Look at what they do when they gain power.
