We got your back, New York!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

We are very concerned about the health and safety of those who are homebound and stuck without heat or power. Please check in on your neighbors, especially if they are elderly or disabled. If anyone needs help, let us know.  We’ll be going door-to-door at 3pm to check on folks and distribute supplies. If you’re able to join, especially if you have a car, please sign up here: forms.gle/xNQ6SRLP1xSChT2n8

People who live in small towns are scared of cities, and people who live in cities are scared of small towns. People who have lived in both are only scared of small towns.
I wonder why America’s small towns are so placid, lovely, and orderly. It’s a total mystery

nobody should give or receive any career advice right now. everyone is broadly underestimating the scope and scale of change and the high variance of the future. your L4 engineer buddy at meta telling you “bro cs degrees are cooked” doesn’t know shit

*NEWS* Hawk Tuah goes viral for a tactful but penetrating diatribe on tribalism in power generation: "Those who can't appreciate the room for, let alone engage in, reasoned, respectful, & dialectic discussion between supporting nuclear power & supporting solar deserve neither."

“No matter what you do, there will always be some community group — even if it’s two or three people who may not be abutters — that will declare, ‘This development will ruin the neighborhood.”” - Ted Landsmark bostonglobe.com/2024/07/28/b…

My housing production bill is making its way through the legislature, but I’m not losing sight of what’s most important: Oregon needs to build more housing – now.

It’s nonsensical – and very dangerous – that cars can be driven 50+ mph over the speed limit. In @voxdotcom, I wrote about the growing movement to require speed governors. 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect/24086…

The fact that my neighbor can’t turn a basement into a living space without me being okay with it is like half of what’s wrong with our country right now

I was about to roast Pete saying rail doesn't need to profit--I always point out transport doesn't need to earn an *internal financial profit* but it needs to earn a *social* profit in Circular A4 BCA terms--but then he made the point himself! This guy is actually fucking smart

@PeteButtigieg at a Hunter College event answers a question about how he views the potential for high speed rail in the United States.

for the love of god when will people understand that gentrification is the movement of capital NOT people
white people will gentrify an area, organize around the problems their gentrification caused, then start a career out of their organizing
