HAMMER on the fact that the “leave it to the states” movement has created conditions forcing people to travel for health care which they then call “abortion tourism” and insist on surveillance.

I don’t think “but can they do that?” is the most informed question to guide Project 2025 analysis, not without “what do they mean by that?” and “are they already working on that?” and “who are their allies on that?”

One of the greatest things I’ve matured into as I lead people is the understanding of how I — me! — can be impactful by giving people feedback like this. Absolutely best part of the job. When I get to do it in public and watch people soar with kudos from their peers? It’s incredible.

Final thought: STOP LISTENING TO THE POLITICAL PRESS They do not have your best interests at heart, full stop. They want to make money off your fear. They're too ignorant to even have a survival instinct--do they think they won't be targeted in a Trump dictatorship?

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

One of the things I’m struggling with is that they’re doing this for someone who is, manifestly, one of the worst people in the world, staggeringly uncaring about his own legal and constitutional obligations, and they seem utterly untroubled by the implications of that.

At this point, it is 100% undeniable that the Supreme Court majority is attempting to destroy democracy and seize total power over the US. They're not even trying to hide it. Since the media refuses to clearly convey this fact to the public, tell everyone you know.

Criminalizing a simple, easy, personal tool for public health is absurd and incredibly harmful. Masking whenever, wherever, for whatever reason, should be a completely normal and accepted part of life in a society.

I can’t decide if I’m surprised by Curtis and Cox winning. Curtis beating the other guy is probably more surprising seeing how easily Lee won; and Cox kind of coasts on the stake president vibe while Lyman has a long record as a crank, and is likely a little high on his own sagebrush rebellion myth.

I heard from a friend — who I think called me on the phone to tell me? — that my local comics, RPG, and used book shop happened to have a VHS copy of Akira on the shelf, and I immediately rushed downtown to buy it. That’s just how the sneakernet of uncommon cultural goods worked.

“I had to go back just one more time. Everything I needed was sitting ready in my home office, down to an emergency pair of underwear and a couple of hydration packs. So at two thirty in the morning, I patted the dog, grabbed my pack, and headed for Arches National Park.” My latest for SIERRA.

Years ago my wife met a cat — Named Frijole Negro — wearing a tiny cowboy hat, eating from a turquoise spoon at a New Mexico rest stop. “Doesn’t she hate that hat?” She asked. And the cat’s owner laughed and said “Honey, she ain’t ever known no different.” So you should get that cat sombrero.

Another vote for the functions chapter in R4DS here. If you get to the point where you want to share functions (eg internally, the way you’d share a SAS macro), the R Packages book is a great next step.

As someone who still has a strong streak of Dream-of-the-90s Web in their bones it's a bit demoralizing to find the AI Search-Summarize-Slop Loop seriously confronting me with the question of why I, or anyone, should ever again write anything of substance that's just freely available online.

In general I find grown men in the tech industry to be especially susceptible to peer pressure. I don't know what it is about that culture - but if the other tech bros are reading it, listening to it, or doing it, they also really want to also.
