Wow ereasing the new results screen for Juxtastat?
🚨 Urban Stats 32.2.0 🚨 Luke has made several improvements! - Plot multiple geography kinds together in mapper - Ability to filter by string matches - Ability to add in Boolean and string columns to tables - improved search performance I also finally fixed unit computation on the mapper
In English, something that makes sense is called "germane" while something that doesn't is called "all greek". This is due to the anglophone media's bias towards Germany during the euro crisis of the early 2010s
Hey guys, a good friend of mine has just had an unimaginable tragedy happen to them and anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated. It's ok if you can't contribute, but sharing would be greatly appreciated <3 gofund.me/4d9751ebd

The people who ACTUALLY control the weather? Berkeley merch store operators.
it’s actually written in the California Constitution that Berkeley needs to be set at the lowest possible temperature on the week students arrive to scam unwitting freshmen and their parents into buying sweatshirts thereby spurring local tax revenues (jfc I’m freezing in August)
Everyone on here needs to stop laughing about how "adopting pets from a shelter is for losers" and "those animals should all be hunted for sport instead" It's reprehensible on many levels! First of all, 1/20
the best performance of her career imo (if you don’t get it, that’s okay! charli’s not for everyone 😊) youtu.be/gKcv2q2svAE?...

🚨 Urban Stats 31.9.0 🚨 I added temperature and precipitation monthly graphs! You can also switch weather into a histogram mode @spudwaffle.bsky.social has made it so the mapper now derives labels automatically, so no more need to write labels!
I don't even understand how to take a boat from Troy to Ithaca?
Meanwhile, I'll remind folks that everyone cheering on New Mexico's big lawsuit win against Meta... that one of the remedies NM's AG is seeking is stopping Meta from offering encrypted messaging. Indeed, some of the "evidence" against Meta was literally "they offer encryption."
Disincentivizing widely-used online services from offering strong encryption. During a war with Iran. A country that's been conducting cyber operations against U.S. targets for years. That's what both parties think belongs in the NATIONAL DEFENSE BILL.
Why would I need a house? Bitcoin provides all the shelter anyone needs
Even with senator level medical care you can just get a heart attack and you're dead. It's crazy how far we have left to advance
Inclusionary zoning is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how housing markets work.
This is him. Respectable and mainstream. Unfortunately we’ve mainstreamed the idea that new market-rate housing is bad, and we should levy huge taxes on it to pay for new subsidized housing. This all follows very logically from the premise of IZ! metra.com/leadership/c...
But here's the important part: Just because ACA 22 got the more dangerous measure off the ballot *doesn't* mean ACA 22 should pass on the ballot. You should vote No on ACA 22.
Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."
The Supreme Court just overturned 90 years of precedent to transfer unprecedented new powers to the executive:
Fire DeJoy? Oh... postmaster generals hired under a harvest moon, on a year that ends with a prime number, in a year that the ambient temperature changes from the average by more than 3.4 degrees do not apply.
This newspaper article highlights the absolute most devastating example of how BILLIONAIRES bring upon gentrification:
Compare what Richard Draeger of Draeger's Market said on this podcast, with what Anthony Draeger wrote to the Menlo Park City council. Fascinating, isn't it?

We can build homes in less than a year. We can build trains in less than five. There is no reason why the projects that better our lives must take decades.
There is still more work to do before people can move in to the Transit-Oriented Development at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station but construction has been zooming along this year thanks to Phase One’s unique modular construction! It took less than 3 weeks to install all the modular housing units.
Buses and bus stops in San Francisco should do way more to tell you what stop you're at
Absolutely disgusted that ever justice used a hyphen instead of an en dash in Rooker–Feldman. Feeling betrayed by the secret SCOTUS style guide. May write in with a complaint.
“Learning the names of characters I’d never heard of before wasn’t easy, but ultimately I’m glad I did my part to support the arts,” said 34-year-old Darren Mosley
Nation Proud Of Self For Watching, Enjoying Original Movie

I think all my LLM complaining should really be more interpreted as complaining about people. You don't have to do this! LLMs don't submit slop, humans submit slop
Your periodic reminder that people are *more* abusive online when they're using their "real names" than when they're using a persistent pseudonym and this effect has been replicated in literally every study that has ever been done
I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.
Every other thing on that list has serious problems too, but the inclusion of a "real names" mandate in any list like this proves the speaker a) knows nothing about the actual science of online behavior b) is more motivated by punishing Bad People than stopping online abuse
This was the CEQA EIR for Playa Vista "We wanted a bulletproof EIR. Bulletproof EIR meant if you fired a bullet at one end of the document, it can't come out the other end" - LA City Councilmember Ruth Galanter
The Anthropic export ban is brought to you by the same people responsible for the TikTok import ban, the U.S. government Anthropic use ban, and dialing pre-release review of A.I. models from 60 days down to 30. There is no coherent underlying theory of AI regulation.
