Fab idea! his is the closest we'll get to a European plaza!
1. The street is VASTLY underused, inconveniencing few
2. It's WIDE, not a narrow shadowy north-south canyon a la Nicollet.
3. It borders a PARK, perfect ancillary use
4. Buildings are cute, would accommodate re-use
5. Cool skyline view!

I didn't have Cuomo throwing out "do you condemn Hasan?!" in the televised NYC mayoral debate on my bingo card but here we are.

There are no typos in what I wrote.

Jeffries: "All of these crisis events stem from Republican policies that are colliding at the same time, which is why Republicans are hiding, refusing to come back to Capitol Hill."

I saw some Zionist douche with a post that said Christians and Muslims want world domination, Jews just want to be left alone.

Yeah, genocide is totally the action of people who want to be left alone.

Torturing a prominent activist is the action of people who want to be left alone.

Shaffer understood that low class individuals like myself would have a hard time deciphering her corpo-speak to hold her accountable. But I figured it out.

Israeli troops torturing Greta isn't worse than torturing anyone else, but if this is how they treat a world-famous activist just think what they are doing to people you've never heard of.

In this northern Idaho bar, three portraits sit above the mantle: KKK grand wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest, Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce, and Charlie Kirk. But this week, they’re adding a fourth: Qatari emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Jevin West and I have long argued that if OpenAI survives, it will be as 1000 squirrels in an LLM-shaped trenchcoat. A thin language layer will farm tasks out to 1000 domain-specific modules, much as Google evolved from PageRank to 1000 different systems.
