Just got an email from Uber urging me to send a letter to the city council about this issue. Would be a shame if people hijacked pre-filled message and edited their suggested text to instead encourage support for letting Waymo into DC...
Surprise: An anti-Waymo astroturf group sounds like it is quite obviously a front for Uber, with whom it shares "public affairs" consultants in New York and Pennsylvania. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Given the acceleration Anthropic is reporting in coding, it is amazing that you still cannot change your email address in Claude and the official advice is that if you need to change your email the only way to do that is delete your account.

My favorite fact is that no one’s name ever got changed at Ellis Island because it makes people *absolutely furious.*

Princeton professors Ellora Derenoncourt (@EDerenoncourt) and Elizabeth Ellis have been awarded 2026 MacArthur Fellowships, known informally as MacArthur "genius" grants: bit.ly/4hg0dgs
The fellowships recognize individuals who have demonstrated "exceptional originality in and dedication to their creative pursuits,” according to @macfound. Princeton graduate alum Kaiyu Guan *13, now the Stuart L. and Nancy J. Levenick Professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign, has also been named a 2026 #MacFellow.

Poignant Video. This was recorded 1 hour before Glen (Rip) was killed. He was in the Wrens Nest, Strawberry Beds at a session.
Totally crushed to hear about the death of Glen Hansard - I tried to see him whenever he came around. He was responsible for so many great live music experiences, seemed like he gave everything he had every night and tried to make it special for everyone: youtube.com/watch?v=zVA2CGRX…

In 2023, Glen Hansard performed "Fairytale of New York" with Lisa O'Neill and The Pogues at Shane MacGowan's funeral.

A guaranteed tuition offer shifted low-income students into a top university. The students graduated sooner and earned more selective degrees, narrowing the gap with higher-income peers, from Elizabeth Burland, Nora Delaney, @dynarski, Katherine B.

go watch New York: A Documentary Film now
A tremendous loss for NYC: Mike Wallace, maybe the most significant NYC historian to ever live, has passed away. His “Gotham” trilogy is the most thorough social history of the city ever written. There will never be another like him. May he Rest In Peace. nytimes.com/2026/07/05/books…

We provide methods similar to, and motivated by, Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021, Journal of Econometrics).

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

Adding Deno and Node.js creator Ryan Dahl to the growing chorus
Software developers add WAY more value than memorizing the syntax trivia of the languages they use
It's time to lean into that everything-else and cede putting semicolons in the right places to the robots
