    the first convincing argument I've seen for the recall election

    Less than 48 hours after the Recall, Newsom bans single-family zoning statewide - allowing 4-10 homes to be built on the lot next to you!

    Nationalize unused IP.

    Our new episode of The Politics of Everything is about the fact that there used to be a Lyme disease vaccine, and now there isn't. What I propose is, maybe if GlaxoSmithKline isn't using it, we could have it.

    As a smug European, I definitely used to think that Celsius is just a superior scale for measuring temperature. After 21 years in North America, though, I definitely concede that Fahrenheit is simply better and more intuitive for temperature.

    last night I got embarrassed about having sent this out, but I have had some very nice messages (that I will reply to when I can steel myself). I hope it was helpful to anyone, which makes what i’m going through at least more valuable than just being Shit

    The video showing Tesla's horribly unsafe autonomous driver program (which can be enabled by the user in cars right now) failing to slowly drive down a city street and almost hit someone has been removed due to "copyright"

    The WorldBank doctored their rankings in their Doing Business report 2018 & 2020, to move China & Saudi Arabia higher. China because they were hoping for $$$, Saudi Arabia because they were afraid of the wrath of Saudi government.

    if you thought the China story was incredible, wait till you hear about Jordan, which Djankov demoted as DBI champion to instate Saudi Arabia, that neoliberal bastion of democracy

    James Allen was convicted of the 1984 murder of Robert Ciralsky. In 2009, Robert Langford confessed to the killing. Allen waited almost *13 years* for a hearing. Today, that hearing was *4 minutes* & resulted in his exoneration at age 71:

    it's also a regulatory failure or more accurately a failure of "our whole deal"--the FDA declined to make the Lyme vaccine immune from lawsuits as others are because back then it was seen as a yuppie hiker disease. is this system really the best way to like... cure diseases?

    It's a really interesting history with a ton of parallels to current debates, not just about vaccine hesitancy but about pharmaceutical R&D in general. The vaccine was voluntarily withdrawn by the private company that developed (and patented) it.

    Until we started working on this episode I--a person who contracted Lyme disease in the 90s--did not know or remember that there was an effective Lyme vaccine in the 90s

    for vehicles operating along a fixed route with dedicated infrastructure batteries *do not even make sense* and yet every transit agency in America fucking loves the shit

    Austin's light rail vehicles are likely to be battery powered, 's Dave Kubicek said today. They've looked at hydrogen fuel cells, but Kubicek said the technology is still "very cutting edge, very heavily subsidized and there's a lot of risk."
