Fundraising and brand management do not equip people for fights
i remain shocked at just how badly elite higher ed admins have stewarded universities. these presidents and chancellors and provosts, supposedly accomplished people, have collectively overseen a staggering nationwide collapse in every respect.
One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

The enshittification of Mozilla with AI slop and greed is a warning for various opensource projects and Linux distros not to become comfy with AI garbage. People and users will abandon your product, because being opensource doesn't mean you can get away with it. Users are tired of this garbage.

What last night proves, above all else, is that centrist Democrats like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and AOC can work together with moderate Republicans like Abigail Spanberger and Gavin Newsom to push back on MAGA fascism.

my key takeaway about cheney was that he wanted ubiquitous surveillance because he was profoundly afraid of the damage small/lone actors could accomplish.
hackers, biolabs, suitcase nukes, etc. he was afraid of tech-enabled power imbalances.
learn from his fears.

when we need Mythbusters most
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
