IT IS TIME.

A circa late 1940s photo of an LA Railway Yellow streetcar rolling along the “R” line. That route took Angelenos along 3rd St, 7th St, and Whittier Blvd. And going by that sign on the front – “Take This Car to Bullock’s Downtown” – I’d say it was en route to downtown Los Angeles.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

It’s great how we’ve got the Sundance Kid, the Natural, Bob Woodward, the Candidate himself, and everyone’s going to “I really like Sneakers.” I do too. I just didn’t know so many others did as well.

When ChatGPT first took off this was the use case that confused me the most. People said they “only” used it to write “first drafts.” That’s the most important draft! That’s the thinking part!

Let’s all watch Sneakers tonight
