My hot take is that sci-fi just doesn’t hit like it used to. Because real life already feels like a never-ending dystopian saga. Like for example the new season of Black Mirror was kind of mid because it just felt…normal

No matter what you think of congestion pricing, trump had ZERO authority here. 

He’s lying about having this power, don’t believe him

No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies.

(And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ )

I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress.

These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

“Linux sort of springs organically from the earth. And it had, you know, the characteristics of communism that people love so very, very much about it. That is, it's free”

“As Israeli roads and walls fragment the landscape, Palestinian trade networks hold a resilient history of connectivity. Academics such as Fida Yaseen propose that a return to these urban village networks would allow for resilient spatial planning that could help Palestinians resist and withstand Israeli sieges.”

Donald Shoup just passed away 💔RIP to the legendary urbanist who showed us how parking can make or break a city. He helped us realize parking is expensive, and that we are all paying for it.

Fureai Kippu (ふれあい切符) — a Japanese care token created in 1995 to allow citizens to earn tokens by helping elderly in their community ❤️ the unit of account was an hour of community service

“But the tokens were so special, in that they carried an emblem of real feeling, even a kind of referred love”

I binge watched all of Severance last weekend.

Came into work today and tell me why my brain literally feels severed
