i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

I encourage people who do knowledge work to start thinking very critically about how much of their time spent in front of a computer doesn't involve thinking. Anything vaguely repetitive can probably be knocked out by the right python library, and you don't need to know python anymore

A fun coincidence: that $100/ton of CO2 is roughly $1/gallon of gasoline. So this calculation shows the optimal carbon tax would be equivalent to $1.90/gal at the pump which...seems completely fine and doable

What a joke

Yes, please! 30 years of coattail coasting

As a matter of personal policy, I ask our kids' doctors if they can get extra vaccines ahead of schedule. Today my three-year-old son is getting the MMR shot meant for four-year-olds and I am THRILLED the doctor supports this.

Reyes, before she wraps up golf course hearing, says her family has been texting her, "freaking out" over CNN report about death threats bc of this case. "A federal judge is getting death threats over a golf course. I really don’t think that’s what the founders envisioned."

😅

Public diplomacy is real diplomacy

Older people who want to pay lower property taxes should be able to downsize into an age-appropriate home that requires less upkeep without having to leave the communities where they raised their families; but they oppose that because they feel entitled to a fixed, unchanging neighborhood character.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

No monuments to traitors

Is it bad if major defense contractors have their own foreign policies?

Really stretching the limits of your @snapstream.com archive with this retrospective, @thedailyshow.com

The reason Damascus steel was invented

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

Hmm October seems early for gales on Lake Superior

"And thus always to tyrants"

"All men are created equal"

Parenting means discovering there are not one not two, but at least three versions of Blippi's excavator song. Thanks Apple Music for sporadically finding new ones for my three year-old son.

This "Let them take out Los Angeles" sounds a whole lot like "Russia if you're listening" but infinitely more terrifying because rather than asking a hostile power to hack his political opponent's improperly managed emails he is instead inviting the utter nuclear annihilation of two American cities.

Yeah that's right cities rock

we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

feels like there is a group of smart and well-intentioned people who long ago made up their minds that AI Is Bad, swore off using it, and now get all their info about AI from each other. not saying they're wrong that ai is bad! but i think they're gradually losing touch with what it is and does

I don't think you have to use them. I don't care if you use them. But alongside the ways they will make things worse, there are ways they can make things better. And I personally just find it important to describe reality correctly.

I reconnected with one third of Minneapolis' quirky indie group Best Friends Forever—one of the best local bands of the latter half of the naughts—last night in the Midway. AMA!

I’ll also add that most of the heat should be directed at USA Today, but the journalists who participated in this breach of ethics also made a choice. Organizations are made up of people. We can’t absolve the people who do harm on the behalf of an organization.
