@LouStagner Yeah, this is so dumb.
I feel like we're still in the era of greens keepers showing off their shiny new techniques. Hopefully someday we relax.

Increasingly, the claim 'we voted for Brexit' is misleading, at best. Take my son & elder daughter, 27 & 24, they didn't get a vote in the 2016 Referendum. Their gran & grandad did, but as is the way with these things, they are both dead. How many more years to be asked again?

In 2024, NYC added a prevailing wage requirement for new buildings with 100 units or more to qualify for a tax program (h/t @floor_per_area).
Hereโs the effect:

Itโs interesting that the NBA regular season is often viewed as the least important among the Big Four leagues, yet itโs arguably the most predictive of postseason success.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
The crisis of the NBA regular season is a lot more than โtankingโ โ the whole thing is constructed to feel low stakes and frustrating because neither home court advantage for contenders nor barely making the playoffs for middling teams is very valuable. slowboring.com/p/the-nbas-proโฆ

Pรฉter Magyar, the new Hungarian prime minister, says CPAC was paid by the Hungarian government and will not be any longer
Pete@splendid_pete
The state will not finance these things, neither the event called CPAC nor other related institutions such as the Mathias Corvinus Collegium and similar attached bodies. I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place, it was a crime. Mixing party financing with government spending from the state budget is, in my view, a criminal offense, and this will have to be investigated by the future authorities, including the National Office for the Recovery and Protection of Public Assets, since those budgetary funds were not meant to finance party events. CPAC is welcome to come to Budapest, very welcome, but it should not be financed with Hungarian taxpayersโ money. It should be funded by Fidesz, or by Orbรกnโs proxies, at least until that money is taken back.

@MorePerfectUS A more constructive way of understanding this is that automated driving could free up 2 million workers from the burden of driving and let them do other work. We then get the value of the driving plus the additional work.
This is how economies grow and we all get richer.

The Sabrina Carpenter incident reminded me of this Atlantic article originally titled โWhy do White People Love Quiet?โ.
The author was shocked that when she went to an Ivy League school her classmates expected her not to blast music at 2 in the morning.
Instead of internalizing this is how normal people act she made it racial.

Counterpoint: all religions should be as tolerant of blasphemy as Christianity is.
It's a major plus that there's no Christian Charlie Hebdo.
BLAIRE WHITE@BlaireWhite
Thereโs actually no excuse for blaspheming Jesus Christ. No other religion tolerates it, and neither should Christians.

Ford is so good in Shrinking, shame no one ever talks about it because it's stuck behind Apple TV's walled garden.

Imagine saying 10 years ago that More Perfect Union would eventually go to bat for gig workers and rideshare companies
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable โ but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

An excellent first step. Orban, over the last two decades, enmeshed corruption into the system in a lot of ways. They need a LOT of democratic reforms. But Magyar is moving in the right direction, and it's heartening to see.
NEXTA@nexta_tv
๐ญ๐บ Orbรกn wonโt make it back Pรฉter Magyar has announced plans to amend Hungaryโs Constitution to introduce a two-term limit for the prime minister. According to him, once the changes are adopted, Viktor Orbรกn will no longer be able to return to the post, as he has already spent more than 20 years in power in total. For this to take effect, the amendments still need to be passed through a constitutional vote.

This is the 70th Player of the Week honor of LeBronโs career, an NBA record (started in 1979 for one player in the league, and expanded to one player per conference in 2001).
Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant are tied for second with 33.
Mike Trudell@LakersReporter
LeBron was named Western Conference Player of the Week to close his 23rd NBA regular season. He averaged 28.0 points, 13.0 assists and 8.5 boards in the 3 games prior to sitting the second half in Sundayโs win over Utah (18P, 6A, 4R, 3S in 1st half).

@joshischillin @ZacharyDonnini What. Voters are not stagnant. Both persuasion & turnout efforts impact voters every single election.
Primaries are not merely about crafting some idealistic wishlist of policies.

@FantasyBackup2 @ZacharyDonnini You legitimately lack intellectual depth if your response is โdo you think Trump is preferable to Newsomโ to โstop worrying about Republican voters and elect who you wantโ

Democrats see Gavin Newsom as their most electable candidate for 2028.
