I have just posted the introduction to a series in which I examine some of the data behind the gap between support for the general principles of the SAVE America Act and the practicalities of designing legislation to achieve those goals.

Startup idea while clearing out my parents’ house: It’s a consulting service where a trained archivist helps you decide what to keep and how to organize it.
New Data Journalism Podcast: We talk with Ben Welsh about how newsroom open-source culture declined and how we bring it back. We get into GitHub, showing your work, and how vibe coding will change everything. Listen, then go open source something. creators.spotify.com/pod/pro…
The recursive leak is my favorite kind of leak.

You forgot your actual NHL team.
So it's the "NY–NJ Stadium" for the World Cup now?
Cool. Let's keep that energy, but let’s put Jersey first.
The NJ–NY Giants. The NJ–NY Jets. The NJ–NY Yankees. The NJ–NY Mets. The NJ–NY Knicks.
Jersey's been holding it down for years — the stadiums, the fans, the tailgates, the infrastructure. If we're finally sharing the name, let's not stop at soccer.
Even as a third generation Yankee fan, I’ve always found monument park to be vaguely funereal. A place to see the flowered headstones of living people. Besides, whatever the bar for entry is, John surpasses it.
Will John Sterling get into Monument Park? A wide-ranging group of Yankees execs discuss candidates throughout the year, and meet periodically. If there's a consenus, they present it to Hal Steinbrenner, a source tells @TheAthletic

Today I'm launching AI Policy Hub, a project I've been working on and developing the last couple months.
While I have plans for other pages in the future, it currently features
- A state AI bill tracker that automatically updates every Monday
- A federal AI bill tracker that also updates every Monday
- A list of major government actions on AI
- A curated list of FRED charts that are important for understanding AI's economic impacts
- A economic trends page built on my testimony to the JEC, describing what's happening accorrding to the data; and
- A narrative description of my AI work
This is a working project, so please send me ideas for additions or changes!
The page is here: policyhub.us/

Honest question for NYC tourists: Why do knick-knack shops that sell tiny Statue of Liberty figurines and novelty t-shirts also sell luggage? Did y’all buy so much stuff here you need another bag, unexpectedly? No shade.

Good fact-based reporting is under pressure in our industry. Today, @nytimes publisher AG Sulzberger made his first ad, "encouraging you today to support any news organization." It's a reminder of how important this reporting is, regardless of who produces it. Have a listen here.
