    Consider the counterfactual: How long would this be permitted if the people who did it were not white men?

    High income people come to cities because there are good jobs there. If you don't build them new housing, they'll be more than happy to bid up prices on your existing housing stock instead. That's how 100 year old 1100 sq ft houses in San Francisco cost $2.5M

    Bill de Blasio can show up to help a bar that somehow had trouble figuring out how to use a liquor license to make money in New York City, but he can’t show up to help parents who’re sick of reckless drivers terrorizing and killing their kids?

    The trauma of war is not only felt by the soldier on the battlefield. It is felt by the child huddled under the bed as bombs go off outside her window. I am that child and here in Congress I will always speak out against war.

    New York City permitted fewer housing units in the 2010s than in the 1970s. Third worst decade since probably the early 19th century, worse than even the 1930s and '40s

    It gives, and then gives, and then gives again, and just when you think it can’t give any more, it sticks the landing. 10/10

    Watching white liberals on here sleepwalk into supporting Buttigieg for electability reasons (he is unquestionably the least electable major candidate). Legit terrifying.

    Young people today are as hard-working as any generation, but opportunity is collapsing around them. And if they dare question the corrupt system that has put them in this giant hole, the elites responsible for this mess have the gall to call them lazy and entitled. Enough.

    My favorite thing about pro-Trump cartoons is how they all portray him as fit and thin. It really captures the cognitive dissonance required to remain a Trump supporter.

    Extreme ownership applied to communication: If they didn’t understand you, you failed. Not them. Period. Your goal is not to speak so clearly that they understand — Rather, it is to speak so clearly they *cannot misunderstand*

    It's not rocket science. When children are fed they excel in all areas of their life! We are proud to ensure no child goes hungry in New York City.

    Much of what’s being sold as "AI" today is snake oil. It does not and cannot work. In a talk at MIT yesterday, I described why this happening, how we can recognize flawed AI claims, and push back. Here are my annotated slides:

    It’s never been a better time for self-motivated people. Anyone connected to the internet has the education power of a university and the distribution power of a media company at their fingertips. Curiosity, courage, and persistence are the new gatekeepers.

    "Your feelings are valid" does not necessarily mean "your reaction is a proportionate response to what just happened."
