I only now realized that when I searched for the cover image of White Flight earlier, it pulled up this image drawn from one of the blurbs for the book. The words are from the amazing southern historian Dan Carter. But the image is of the amazing New Zealand rugby star Dan Carter.

"In his study of Atlanta over the last 60 years, Kevin Kruse convincingly describes the critical connections between race, Sun Belt suburbanization, the rise of the new Republican majority. White Flight is a powerful and compelling book that should be read by anyone interested in modern American politics and post-World War II urban history."

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The mayor fired corporate leaders from a city fund’s advisory board in the latest sign that he is changing the way such power brokers access City Hall.

if i was a david seymour loving nerd who is actually being sketchy in the ministry of regulations, i would not want to have my agent.md files exposed via OIA. Of course, if i wasn't doing anything wrong, i wouldn't be concerned at all.

you know how sometimes you see someone notice something that's mundane to you but happens to be like the oversecting section of a venn diagram between two autistic special interests and they just have like total joy on their face, and you don't know why?

this "responsible ai in action" document from the ministry of regulation at several points basically says "without organization buy in (everyone is forced to use ai, or are true believers) even well designed systems can fail to deliver value or create problems"

This is an extremely, extremely broad overview of how much the ministry of regulations is using copilot: https://cryptoanarchy.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vraljvgixy22j4twn3ls436f&cid=bafkreifydrxifg5xljn5rzqqi7ztb7jmwqmlludeapqk4ucf5x5xqoai3y

i feel like there ought not be a good reason why i can't OIA their copilot-instructions.md files now. No reason why that should be secret unless it's "You're a libertarian douchebag, analyze these regulatory proposals through that lens" and they don't want people knowing that.
