Maybe a long shot but if anyone is going to be even tangentially involved in the negotiations at COP30 in Brazil and is willing to answer a quick question or two (anonymously if you prefer!), please reach out, Signal is davelevitan.26 or my email is easy to find.

Effective politics requires relationships & community. Today’s parties only think about harvesting individual votes, not recognizing that the social investment will actually get them more votes & build long-term support. Good parties go even further by integrating into community life year round.

Rob Chavez gives the helpful/correct answer below, but here's another thought: Your preprint gets to be your director's cut. Put that baby on OSF or Zenodo and add a link in your figure caption.

More impressive than Hudson and Essex posting 3:1 and 4:1 margins for the Dems, Sherrill is leading (35% in) in Monmouth County. And if the GOP is struggling to hang onto the Shore, there’s a think piece to be had in that.

Thank you to
@economist.com
for the chance to write this week about philanthropic freedoms -- the freedom of expression, the freedom to give, the freedom to invest. These rights are enshrined in the First Amendment. They have been bedrock for more than 2 centuries. And they are now under attack.

The reason it’s only a problem when you go to college and develop a *left wing* sensibility for these types is they see being a moderate conservative as the default, normal position for any normal person to have.

In short, the problem here is not that Signal ‘chose’ to run on AWS. The problem is the concentration of power in the infrastructure space that means there isn’t really another choice: the entire stack, practically speaking, is owned by 3-4 players. 11/
