I am once again asking Democrat leadership to step aside and let new blood in. This appeals to no one and is how you continue to gift the GOP complete control of the government.

Watched 1 min of each NYC Mayoral candidate's YouTube channel. Seems obvious why Mamdani has pulled into the lead. Also think Brad Lander is an underrated long-shot.

Caught up with a founder working on a treatment for an awful rare skin disease which kills 1/3 of babies born with it. Hearing about his call w/ a dad of an 11 mo old was a gut punch. Biotech startups are a different world.

Mine are 8 and 10, and run around on their own. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/parenting-teen-development-vacation#msdynmkt_trackingcontext=c1c561cb-192d-4243-9b79-a351ee7a0100

John Carmack's talk on his work at Keen Technologies, his AGI co, is great. Goes through a lot of what's unsolved in general intelligence research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ-An5bhkrs&t=11305s
