Republicans do not consider themselves part of the same national community as you. They hate your freedoms, they spit on your values, they do not think you have a right to an equal say in this commonwealth. They consider themselves your enemy.

I am 100% serious when I say (and I do, frequently) that: a) Excel was a transformative democratisation of compute and automation and b) The core of B2B product management is “turn the most important spreadsheet you can find into a web app and charge $100/seat/month for it”

I’m currently at a town hall with elected officials where NIMBYs keep disrupting it every 5 minutes, and I’m witnessing negative polarization in action as normies get fed up with the NIMBYs and clap for speakers supporting more housing

I believe a crucial part of being a fully-realized human in 2025 is knowingly and joyfully hiding huge swaths of your life and experiences from the ever-gluttonous eyes of the Internet. It is also a genuinely meaningful act of personal resistance

1. Rent control as the only housing affordability measure is very bad, but Zohran is coupling it with a mostly YIMBY platform, so you could make the case it’s coalition management 2. Damn bitch, where was this pro-science view on gender affirming healthcare?

There is a parallel reality out there, where politicians are more daring and US road engineering norms less rigid and car-centric, where a treatment of Manhattan's grid like this wouldn't be not only thinkable but maybe actively explored for its feasibility.

One of the keys to dense urban livability is being able to access different scales of nature pretty easily. Vancouver’s remarkable Stanley Park isn’t quite as famous as Central Park, but it’s frequently ranked among the best parks, and destinations, in the world. My pic from Helijet reminds us why.

The problem with congressional Democrats is a simple one that permeates our politics and media generally: New Yorkers are in charge. Across parties and decades, manufacturing that control has been New Yorkers’ primary endeavor. No other agenda even comes close.

the NY Dems intentionally threw the House by prioritizing safe seats over maximizing the number of Democratic seats. their legislative delegation is in charge of both the House and Senate Dems.
