I mean, it sounds good. But what’s the actual policy proposal? Not sure there’s a way to do that in a way that doesn’t fuck over poor people, and that’s not something I’m down with.

Remembering that voting for Obama—the most consequential president of my lifetime—meant swallowing his position on marriage equality, which I found abhorrent. Once in office, and with a shift in the political winds on the issue, he came around to supporting it. Politicians follow people.

You have to take incremental wins as wins. Elect people you want to have the debate with, rather than knights in shining armor.

He’s building a coalition, just like every other successful politician in the modern age. This expectation that any given politician isn’t going to be faced with some really unpleasant ideological tradeoffs is childish. Remaining absolutely pure as the driven snow is a ticket to irrelevance.

This would be a great time to write an NIH grant that aims to assess effectiveness of autism conversion therapy (just pray the autism away). Sure to get funded, so your lab survives a few years, and your findings that “holy shit, that didn’t work at all” will never see the light of day.

Watching Mets @ Giants on ESPN, a “Google Statscast” broadcast, which apparently means that a) the announcers are not at the ballpark, and b) they talk about stats CONSTANTLY. It might be the most boring broadcast ever. So many stupid stats that nothing means anything anymore.

Walking around NYC on a hot summer day, I think about what the walk would be like without all of these wonderful trees. Then, I inevitably come across a small stretch without any trees, and the difference is stark. I can't believe people in wool suits and corsets used to live like that.

One of the most striking things about comparing old (pre-1970) photos of NYC with the same spots nowadays: There were very few trees planted on sidewalks back then. Now, it's pretty difficult to find a street -- at least in Manhattan -- where there aren't dozens on every block.

All good points here. Also good to remember that having easy access to a good subway system (or really any decent transit system) often means that one doesn’t need a car, and hence, DON’T HAVE A CAR PAYMENT, don’t have repair bills, don’t have car insurance bills. I love my car-free, NYC life.

I've lived in NYC for about a year now, and often get asked about what's going on with SF. It's so hard not to tell people that the city feels a little like a person who you used to love because it was so full of life, but is now just someone you love in spite of having lost their spark.
