The Mets are now 0-10 since this happened.

"After the Rangers game, our worst nightmare happened: the elevator to Penn Station wasn’t working.
For most people, that’s an inconvenience. For us, it meant we were completely stuck.
My son Chris is in a 350 lb wheelchair. Without an elevator, there was no way down. No backup plan. No easy solution. Just a crowded, overwhelming situation with no clear way forward.
We stood there, unsure of what to do next.
And then we met Officer Mears.
And everything changed.
He didn’t just point us in a direction or give us instructions. He didn’t rush us or treat us like just another situation to manage.
He stepped in fully.
He personally walked with us—block after block—searching until we finally found a working elevator inside Kmart. He stayed with us the entire time, making sure we were okay, never once making us feel like a burden.
But he didn’t stop there.
He escorted us all the way to the LIRR, went ahead to find out our track before the rush of commuters even knew, brought us down safely, and set up the ramp so Chris could board the train without being overwhelmed by the crowd.
He thought of everything.
Every step of the way, he made sure my son was safe, comfortable, and treated with dignity.
Along the way, he shared that he had worked with people with disabilities for six years before becoming a police officer.
And you could feel it.
His patience.
His awareness.
His kindness.
It wasn’t just training—it was heart.
In a moment that felt stressful and overwhelming, he gave us calm. He gave us help. He gave us reassurance that we weren’t alone.
That night, he didn’t just help us get to a train.
He moved a mountain.
Officer Mears—thank you for seeing us, for walking beside us when we needed it most, and for showing what true compassion looks like in action.
You reminded us that even in difficult moments, there are still people out there who care deeply… and that makes all the difference."

The Boston marathon is an exclusionary event by design.
People who walk their marathons don’t qualify. I don’t understand the uproar over this ad. I thought it was talking to non runners in general. Which would make sense for a running shoe company.

@charcoded @NYCMayor Waymo would have fixed this but he banned them so that Mohamed can take you to the airport - swerving in and out of lanes while chatting to his family overseas on speaker.

It’s wild that we live in a country where a guy had to go to court to fight for the right to go for a walk in the forest.

I don’t understand why she is still a professor at Stanford
Save Math@savemathnow
“Jo Boaler is a professor of education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, with an enormously influential body of work …. Her work got Algebra removed from middle schools across the Bay Area. It is some of the most incompetently or dishonestly conducted research I have seen in a decade as a journalist.”

Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress.
The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely.
Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on.
The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors.
Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

Maher: “The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.”
Schiff: “Totally vague.”
Maher: “That’s from Obama about Libya.”

The Mayor of Toronto doesn't want to allow Waymos in the city if they reduce jobs. To be fair, they almost certainly will reduce the demand for ambulance drivers and EMTs.

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life.
I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5.
Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm.
Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation.
Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%.
Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

Cannabis is detrimental to sperm: even if they can fertilize, there can be DNA damage. Many miscarriages and (in the case of IVF) “day 3 crashes” which is when paternal DNA normally kicks in, are cannabis related. Dr Natalie Crawford on the Huberman Lab podcast out now.

Sorry, I’m ready for Waymo.
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 — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

There is a Pub near a town called Beaconsfield in England that predates England itself.
It also predates:
>The reunification of China.
>Turks in modern-day Turkey.
>Ghengis Khan’s Mongol Conquests.
>The Crusades.
>About 92% of modern countries.

Jimmy Carr and Joe Rogan were riffing on something I’ve never thought about but instantly recognized.
Super attractive people often speak very slowly… because no one ever interrupts them.
Jimmy’s friend Roisin Conaty pointed it out: gorgeous supermodels talk slowly because they’ve never had to fight for airtime. Meanwhile, the rest of us speed-talk because we know we might get cut off.
Joe added that attractive people also tend to value their own opinions more highly — since no one challenges them when they want to sleep with them.
Jimmy’s punchline: “That’s how horoscopes got big. Incredibly attractive women spoke about their horoscope, and no one went, ‘this sounds like some bullshit.’”
It’s a funny but sharp observation about how looks shape social dynamics in ways we rarely admit.
