Douglass High School on the city’s West Side now has 27 employees for 28 students. The cost to run the school is $93,000 per student. “'Is a Douglass student getting a $93,000-a-year experience? No.'" From @chalkbeat.org / @propublica.org - Mila Koumpilova / @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

Always read Phil’s stuff about the federal budget or budget institutions.

When I briefly worked on the hill, we were required to memorize the Congressional facebook (not the website, a literal book of faces) so that we could identify members by sight. I was 20 and had a completely inconsequential job. This is the dumbest justification known to man.

I went to a seminar talk a few months back about Congressional leadership styles and effectiveness. I asked a question about political violence against sitting members (threatened or actual) as a means to keep members in line. I got brushed off, but I think I was onto something!

Hey @nytimes.com, do better. We all saw the video(es). Escorted out isn't what happened.

I remember a time when any LEO laying hands on an elected official was the lead news article for weeks. Weeks!

Been deep in the text editing mines and come back here to check out what's going on, and OMG we've moved on to assaulting elected officials on live television.

Eventually, every toadie in the West Wing gets slapped down by the fickleness of Trump's ego (or his response to public opinion).

I wonder how much of the free bus fare discourse is driven by folks who saw it work in a small-ish college town without realizing the university paid the fare on the backend.

I hesitate to mention this, lest it messes up my good find, but here goes. The best way to get picked up by a car at ORD (or to pick someone up) is to take the people mover to the car rental/parking deck and get picked up in the kiss and ride lot. Cars can wait for an unlimited time.

I'm sure we'll get wall-to-wall newspaper articles about Trump's mental decline. That'll definitely happen.

Perhaps even more embarrassing: The only agency that existed in the 1920s (not the 30s) that could do this analysis was the Bureau of the Budget (now OMB), which Treasury Secretary Mellon directly controlled.

Top feature requests (that I'm sure are coming): - List view - Some integration with tasks If we get those, `dataview` is cooked.

Very interesting, especially the way the board is talking about it. There is almost no talk about taxing power, but a lot about new regulatory powers. And nothing about the required form of government change (from commission to county executive).

Can confirm that Obsidian Bases is very cool. Pretty much a one-for-one replacement of 95% of dataview stuff—though, how you get there is quite different.

Many questions: - Are they carrying live rounds? - Do they have access to less lethal weapons? - What are their orders if confronted by protestors? Combining 1+2 with 3: If yes and no, the only option is to retreat or fire. - If the former, what's the point? - If the latter, God help us.

Proposition: Anyone using less lethal rounds should have to experience being hit with one in the same way that police/military are required to experience being tasered or exposed to tear gas (and not just in initial training but on some regular schedule).

ZotFile but for Zotero 7. Essential if you store your files somewhere other than the default Zotero folder (if you want to self-sync files via Dropbox/OneDrive/etc).

Two points. 1. Maybe don’t zone for more people than you have water for? 2. Unless you’re 1 inch from the water source, everyone is using treated sewage in surface drinking water. Treated sewage is discharged back into the source it was drawn from.

“In a number of cases, trials that were mostly completed were rendered useless without the money to finish and analyze the work, the letter says. “Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million,” it says, “it wastes $4 million.”” Mhmm.

I mentioned to my wife that the XCO race today is in Leogang, AUS, and now I'm pretty sure we're spending a few weeks in the Salzburg region next summer.
