Fantastic piece by @jbarro about atrocious Democratic governance in NYC particularly and big cities generally. joshbarro.com/p/trump-didnt-…

When I engaged with one post on TikTok supporting opposing views, my entire feed became aggressively anti-Israel. It was as if I was placed in an AB test variant and was told to see this war with Israel being the evil side.

This is a really horrific thing to endure. The journalists who did it in order to tell the story to their readers, and to combat propagandists who are already denying Hamas's atrocities, performed a service for the rest of us.

Hundreds of journalists and photographers from media companies all over the world attended today the screening of a film of assorted footage showing the extent of the horrors committed by Hamas. Footage was taken from numerous sources, including from bodycams worn by the…

Again, unequivocal. And follows the theme of much of the public discussion about these attacks across all quarters, especially on social media: witness. And don't pretend *not* to understand what you're seeing.

Biden says he took each of his kids to visit the Dachau concentration camp when they turned 14. "I wanted them to see!" he says, slamming his hand down and shouting. "That you could not not know what was going on."

On my way to the funeral of a young Brazilian woman murdered at the music festival. A message went out urging strangers to attend, because she has barely any family here. There’s a 2km line snaking out of the entrance of the cemetery and I doubt we’ll make it.

Transcript from one of the festival survivors about what happened: "I was there at the festival, there were rockets so people got nervous and everyone started to leave, We drove towards the main road, where we saw many cars standing in what looked like a traffic jam, at the…

It's surprisingly helpful merely to remind founders that they're playing a positive-sum game. Many haven't realized it explicitly. Knowing this both increases their morale and shows them where to channel their energy: into making customers' lives better.

Silicon Valley Bank’s shareholders and executives lose it all, as they should. Depositors in good faith, however, should recover and have access to their deposits in order to meet their payrolls, pay their suppliers, and to prevent contagion.

Is social media a major cause of the teen mental illness epidemic? Journalists often say "the evidence is just correlational." They are wrong. I lay out the longitudinal, experimental, and quasi-experimental evidence here. There's a lot of it now: jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/social-media…

Pattern matching AI as "the next platform shift" like the PC/internet/smartphone leads to significant underestimates of its potential.

On the way to school, 10 yo asked "What if I'm a failure?" I told him that at least some of his projects would probably fail, and that if they didn't, it would mean he was being too conservative.

Seeing a lot of false choices being presented between "mental illness" and "antisemitism" for Kanye. The answer is "both." Those struggling with mental illness do not originate their society's prejudices, but in their confusion and pain, can latch on to and reflect them.

One reason I'm not excited about the work-from-home revolution is that it comes at a time when other forms of face-to-face interaction have been in decline for decades. Church attendance is down. Youth sports participation is down. Union membership is down.

I know this is gonna blow y'all's minds, but the main reason for homelessness is not enough homes

San Francisco’s poverty rate is 10%; Detroit’s is 33%. San Francisco’s unemployment rate is 3%; Detroit’s is 20%. Yet, San Francisco’s homelessness rate is a whopping 3 times higher than Detroit’s. Why? If you want to understand homelessness, follow the rent:

Being a liberal with forbidden black friends under a censorious apartheid regime that denied its atrocities is a powerful origin story for Musk’s focus on free speech. So powerful, in fact, that this takeaway shines through a ham-fisted narrative insinuating the opposite.

Elon Musk grew up in elite white communities in South Africa, detached from apartheid’s atrocities and surrounded by anti-Black propaganda. He sees his takeover of Twitter as a free speech win but in his youth did not suffer the effects of misinformation. nyti.ms/3kG0TNY

I post this regularly, and many express surprise. This is the current childhood immunization schedule. Many childhood vaccines are three+ doses, sometimes a booster. This is one reason why, unlike earlier centuries, we don't have cemeteries full of children. We've forgotten.
