“According to my model the election could be very close with a slight edge to either candidate, but there is also a small chance that it could be very one sided, favoring both candidates equally, or somewhere in between.
I am very smart please give me money for further analyses.”
An important VP note is that Sen. Kelly is a twin, thus having a built in body double that can be used for schemes.

This new Popvox report about the Afghanistan withdrawal and the Congressional caseworkers who put in countless hours helping Afghans and their families get the visas they needed to escape death at the hands of the Taliban is a fascinating read:

DSVA is now a fantastic team doing excellent digital services work for Veterans. It's the best such team in the federal government these days. I'd be there now if I weren't doing this other thing.
people who have loud boring conversations with each other at the gym are going to mega-hell, sorry, I don’t make the rules
I was never that idealistic. Jim and I named the night club in THE TERMINATOR Tech Noir in 1982 when writing the script. It’s where the seminal encounter between The Terminator and Sarah Connor occurred — we envisioned the dark side of tech way back then.

Have you ever had a coworker that mindlessly repeats whatever an exec says?
And have you ever had an exec that thinks that person is a genius?
Ok - you know understand LLMs.
You're welcome.
Does anyone know if Putin consulted the Delphic oracle prior to invading Ukraine? If so, was he told he would "destroy a great kingdom"?
"Mercenaries... are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious, and without discipline, unfaithful, valiant before friends, cowardly before enemies..."

Over the next few years, every search engine is going to become a delivery mechanism for AI generated argle bargle nonsense and there are folks arguing that physical media curated by skilled and dedicated professionals is somehow obsolete.
Log off. Touch books.
D'oh. Apparently you can't add that afterwards.

Hey @washingtonpost.com why is it that whenever I create a link card to one of your stories in bsky, the link card says Access Denied instead of showing a pretty open graph preview? I see the og: meta tags in the page, and it seems to work fine whenever you post one... am I doing it wrong somehow?
Doesn't seem like the solution for stolen food is to stop sending food. People still need to eat. If food theft is such a problem, maybe we should send more? Send so much food they can't even handle it and will have to beg people to take as much as they can carry.
I really expected dystopia to be more stylish
Not at all surprised to see this after Tim Alberta’s article in The Atlantic a few days ago
Yeah, I figured that was the case. It's too bad though, because I think you're onto a very interesting story here about how HVAC is moving northward.
You might also want to break up your regions a little more by lattitude... the AC situation in San Diego is very different than Seattle, and very different in Albuquerque than in Boise. Cities all over the northern half of the U.S. never needed AC before, but they do now...
@faineg.bsky.social the link is broken in your substack for the digital version of your map... good a reason as any to update it! I suspect these numbers are going to be changing a lot every year for the foreseeable future.

This is what AI thinks of us.
1. “Bluesky user”
2. “Twitter user”
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Also how worried should we be about aliens if all their ships end up crashing?
What gets me about Vision Pro is that Apple must have looked at the sales numbers for Microsoft's HoloLens and thought, "we've gotta get in on that!"
Now this is a really cool use of generative tools...
