A US soldier quoted in this story, not the headliner airman, says they're "experiencing tangible mental health consequences as a result of watching a genocide in real time while simultaneously wearing a uniform that represents it." That's extremely real.

“The Jesuit priests, when you thought that all of a sudden the whole world was pounding on you, they would say ‘Illegitimi non carborundum,’ which means ‘don’t let the bastards wear you down,’ which … lately, that is a very relevant and appropriate saying,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

“Several generations living under one roof would help ease the housing crunch and the loneliness epidemic affecting half of U.S. adults. It would also cut global warming emissions. Denser living is almost always greener.”

It would seem to me to have a hope at profitability you either need to: 1) own your own servers (Amazon) or 2) own your content to minimize licensing costs (Disney). Everything else makes you a very unwieldy cable channel.

Internal emails, interviews and in-app messages show Uber and Lyft deployed a powerful lobbying playbook to stop minimum wage laws in Minnesota. But drivers had a playbook of their own.

The suburbs fuck people up. I say hi to strangers & you never know who'll lash out because you're the only human they've encountered all day (week?) & they're now Gollums defaulting to defensiveness. The GOP loves housing policies that force more people out to nowhere! Dems should try the opposite!

“Excavators, bulldozers, cranes and tractors, create about 3% of U.S. carbon emissions — roughly the same as the airline industry. Making these machines carbon-free would be almost as big a step… as taking all commercial planes out of the sky.”

Like, the primary reason why latter Gen X & Millenials are so goddamn tech savvy by default is that the computers we grew up with went fully tits up at least a few times a month, and your only option for fixing it was fuckin figuring it out yourself or asking a friend. That's it.

Batteries have replaced 50% of California's gas power compared to a year ago. "Last year, battery deployment in the energy sector increased by more than 130 per cent year over year" Storage replaced fossil fuels. And it is coming on fast and getting cheaper.

I spent some time at the protest against the governor pulling the plug on congestion pricing, and then when walking to the train passed an ambulance that was stopped in crosstown traffic, siren blaring, due to congestion. I'm aware that there's irony there but it's not really very funny.

"In the age of methods, science was human and then, suddenly, it was not." Oh how well this captures today's science reform zeitgeist. Once again we yearn for a science that's un/inhuman. We grasp at any promise of an algorithm or procedures that are proposed as an automated substitute.

"Hypothesis and test, experiment and solution—the language of science today is often one of stability and control. The uncertain, unstable terrain of Darwin's day somehow became, over the century that followed, something solid, if not stultified."

At the end of the age of methods, the image of science as embodied cognition became something both constrained and constraining, a set of steps rather than a description of lived reality. The rise of "the scientific method" was, in this sense, less a success than a tragedy.

It's been said a bunch of times but I want to say it, too: what's been so bracing about these Lauren Windsor/Rolling Stone stories is not that they reveal Alitos as grand villains but as absolute off-the-rack nightmare suburban shitheads. 0 wins above replacement between the two of them.
