Eric Adams opened this morning’s press conference by rolling a garbage bin up to the podium, placing a bag of trash in it, and saying “welcome to our trash revolution” while Empire State of Mind played in the background

It's a propaganda site. By going there you are absorbing propaganda chosen by an evil billionaire. Maybe you think you are a very special boy who, unlike other human beings, is immune to being influenced by propaganda so it's okay!

The entire genre of dancehall (more or less) came about when a reggae producer repurposed a "rock" beat he accidentally discovered on a casio kid's toy keyboard. People recently discovered the long-anonymous Japanese woman who programmed the beat was in fact a huge reggae fan and scholar.

If you want to understand the origins and solutions of the American homelessness problem, a really important starting point is to understand that the problem mostly exists in places where *there are lots of jobs and the labor market is really strong,* not in economically depressed areas.

Excited to introduce a project I've been working on for a long time: a thorough comparison of Biden and Trump on the issues. "The stakes, not the odds," to borrow from Jay Rosen. The initial version has 6 topics, but I'll be adding more, as well as updating with new statements/policies. Gift link:

Where Joe Biden and Donald Trump Stand on the Issueswww.nytimes.com Here’s what President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump have done and want to do on abortion, democracy, the economy, immigration, Israel and Gaza, and Social Security and Medicare.

Interesting data from NERC. The forced outage rate (e.g. the inverse of reliability) for coal power is rising in the US as plants reach end of life and don't get maintained as well anymore. Stick a fork in coal power... it's done.

Larry Summers said it would take an entire year of 10 percent unemployment to whip inflation. Jason Furman said it would take 15 percent!! prospect.org/economy/2024...

Remember all those 2022 predictions that getting inflation down would require years of very high unemployment? Here’s where we are now (using the Cleveland Fed nowcast for May)

I feel like there's a few logical steps missing between "not enough people are answering the phones for political polls" and "we will have a computer make up their answers."

Pollsters are simulating political surveys with AI because nobody answers the phone: ash.harvard.edu/articles/usi... "The big difference between humans and AI agents is that the AI agents always pick up the phone..."

For anyone who did not experience it first hand, I cannot begin to describe how monumentally worse an 8% unemployment rate is than an 8% inflation rate.

If you're ever wondering why every elder Millennial is either a communist or a grindset hustler small business capitalist, just look up the unemployment rate in 2009.
