Modern parenthood feels impossible because it's unnatural. For millennia stretching back to the dawn of humankind, it was extremely rare for a couple to raise a child without tons of support. Grandparents, aunties, and the surrounding community took on a huge % of the load. Plummeting birthrates should not surprise us. We are currently attempting to do something unprecedented! We don't want to admit that it's not working, because we don't see alternatives. In fact, there are alternatives, but they take years of relationship-building to have people around you who you'd trust to watch your kids while you're not around. However, it's possible, and people are doing it. Eg I have friends doing things like building motherhood groups, and group-houses. There's a lot of demand for solutions!

It's so sad: The US government had a bipartisan mandate to get migration in order and they so monumentally fucked it up that they even get their own supporters pissed. They could have been doing the right thing, get everyone who committed crimes deported and even stripped of citizenship (looking at you Somali daycare "learing center"). They could have legitimately and with great support deported hundreds of thousands but chose to fill senseless quotas and with unnecessary inhumanity on innocent, earnest and hard working people.
MR. LIN FROM THE CHINESE TAKEOUT I don't know how many hours Mr. Lin works in a day. And I can't remember exactly how many daughters he and Mrs. Lin have. But I do know that for years, maybe 30 years, as I've stopped down at his takeout, the last real business in the empty strip plaza, he has been there, over the burners, moving like the wind. Mrs. Lin has been beside him, synchronized, each of them cooking, feeding my family and some evenings it seems like half of our town. Hours on end, years on end, growing gray in our service. With the girls at a table by the window in the front. Coloring and drawing when they were younger, pouring over their homework when they were older, hopping up to run the cash register or take an order. Remembering the names of everyone in town, addressing us all as Mr. So and So or Mrs. So and So. Happy family. That's always what I order. Happy family. And that is what they are. A happy family. In the land of the free. One of the best personifications of the American dream I've ever seen in my life. For years, it seemed like if it wasn't a Lin girl who was the valedictorian up at the school it was a Medina boy from out on the farm. The two best families in town were the two whose parents spoke the worst English. We went to Lin graduation parties, we cheered as they played soccer, we heard reports back from college, we kept the secret when one was dating a boy from a couple of towns over. We wondered at how Mr. and Mrs. Lin could work so hard. We wondered how they could keep it up with the girls almost all grown. And we love them. They are good people. A good family. Wonderful daughters, and a mother and father who were best judged, like Jesus said, by the fruits they bore -- the girls they raised, the business they ran and the community they served. Until today. In the brilliant sun of a cool autumn day. In a town named after the financier of the Revolution; in a county named after a signer of the Declaration; in a village where the man who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance was born. Until today. In a traffic stop as he drove to work. A couple of heavyset fellas, in tactical vests, with one of them in a Buffalo Bills cap. Within sight of the takeout which Mr. Lin may never see again. Within sight of the takeout where the mayor and school superintendent would soon gather to support the family. It was federal officers. Agents of an administration that's a stickler for civil immigration law but seemingly blind to constitutional constraint. An administration I voted for but which has metastasized into a cancer on the body politic. And today my country embraces Putin and kicks out Lin. And I've had enough. It makes no sense anymore. But my problem is fixed with a voter-registration form. I don't know how to fix Mr. Lin's problem. I don't know how to convince an autocratic government that snatching up a salt-of-the earth family to meet a deportation quota is immoral and wrong, and contrary to the values that made America great. The politicians say we need to keep it quiet. But that didn't work in Iraq or Syria or Guatemala or Argentina or Pakistan. Silence in the face of evil is complicity. And when the Declaration said that all are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, it meant all. Even the man who cooks your Chinese takeout. And a country or a political party that isn't smart enough to figure out how to throw out the bad people and keep the good people has larger problems than immigration. Mr. Lin is a better man than I, and he has proved it year after year down at the strip plaza, where he and his wife raised their girls and fed our town. He has earned the right to be here, as assuredly as my birth gives me the right to be here.

If you're thinking its a good investment to send your kids to school to learn the things they should learn, you're ngmi (aka. you are probably dumb and naive beyond redemption)
In July we open-sourced a dynamic graph of everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts, 3,221 dependencies. Now we’re turning every concept into interactive experiments kids can play and learn from. First one, age 7: heat and water. Everything that used to be a boring textbook can now be an engaging experience, potentially tailored to every child. Kids education just got a massive upgrade.

Je vais dire quelque chose qui risque de déplaire à beaucoup de monde, mais tant pis. Je crois qu’une partie de notre société est en train de perdre quelque chose de bien plus grave que sa compétitivité économique. Elle est en train de perdre sa capacité à rêver. Hier, Tesla a présenté une démonstration spectaculaire autour d’une voiture capable de quitter le sol. Un prototype, certes, pas encore la voiture volante de Retour vers le futur. Mais quand même, bordel. On parle de technologies qui semblaient relever de la science-fiction quand nous étions gamins. Et ce matin, en regardant certaines réactions françaises, qu’est-ce que je découvre ? « Ça sert à rien. » « Musk est un raciste. » « Ça ne règle pas les problèmes de recharge. » « Ça n’efface pas ses saluts nazis. » Mais sérieusement, qu’est-ce qui nous est arrivé ? À quel moment avons-nous perdu cette âme d’enfant qui nous faisait ouvrir grand les yeux devant une invention ? Et le plus triste dans tout ça, c’est qu’on semble avoir oublié notre propre histoire. La France, c’est le pays des frères Lumière, qui ont contribué à faire naître le cinéma. C’est le pays de Louis Pasteur, dont les travaux ont révolutionné la microbiologie et la vaccination. C’est le pays de Nicéphore Niépce, pionnier de la photographie. C’est le pays des frères Montgolfier, qui ont envoyé l’être humain dans les airs à bord d’une montgolfière. C’est le pays de Blaise Pascal, qui concevait déjà une machine à calculer au XVIIe siècle. C’est aussi le pays du TGV, et l’un des deux pays qui ont donné naissance au Concorde. Vous imaginez ce que représentaient ces inventions à leur époque ? Des humains qui osaient accomplir ce que beaucoup pensaient impossible. Des gens qui n’acceptaient pas les limites de leur temps. Des visionnaires, des ingénieurs, des scientifiques, des entrepreneurs qui voulaient repousser les frontières du réel. Nous avons été ce pays-là. Alors comment avons-nous pu en arriver à un point où notre premier réflexe devant l’extraordinaire semble parfois être de chercher pourquoi il faudrait le mépriser ? SpaceX récupère des fusées qui reviennent se poser sur Terre ? On parle immédiatement d’Elon Musk et de ses provocations. Des robots humanoïdes commencent à réaliser des tâches physiques de plus en plus complexes ? « Ça va détruire des emplois. » L’IA ouvre des perspectives gigantesques pour la médecine, la science, l’éducation et la création ? « Ça pollue, ça vole le travail des artistes, ça sert à tricher. » Un entrepreneur annonce vouloir réaliser quelque chose d’incroyable ? « Encore un milliardaire qui veut s’en mettre plein les poches. » Mais est-ce qu’on réalise seulement ce qui est en train de se passer ? Nous vivons une époque où des fusées réutilisables se posent après leur mission, où l’IA accélère certaines découvertes scientifiques, où des robots apprennent à évoluer dans notre monde, où des personnes seules commencent à créer des choses qui nécessitaient auparavant des équipes entières. Et devant tout ça, on serait devenus incapables de dire simplement : « Putain, c’est incroyable. Comment est-ce qu’ils ont réussi ça ? » Je ne demande pas qu’on admire aveuglément les milliardaires. Ni qu’on ferme les yeux sur les conséquences sociales, environnementales ou politiques de leurs projets. On peut condamner les propos d’Elon Musk tout en reconnaissant les prouesses des ingénieurs de SpaceX et de Tesla. On peut défendre les travailleurs tout en trouvant la robotique fascinante. On peut vouloir encadrer l’IA tout en étant émerveillé par ses possibilités. L’esprit critique n’a jamais obligé personne à devenir cynique. Et c’est justement ce cynisme qui me désespère. J’ai parfois l’impression qu’on a remplacé l’admiration par la jalousie, le goût du risque par la peur de l’échec, l’ambition par la suspicion et le rêve par le sarcasme.

Jack Doherty might have made the biggest mistake of his life Jack (@dohertyjackk) signed a sponsorship deal with Shuffle (a crypto casino) but didn’t fully read the contract One of the terms is a 6 month ban on posting online He said he thought it was a joke, but Shuffle is enforcing it Shuffle CEO (Noah Dummett) just confirmed it’s real and said they’ll stick to the contract even though Jack lawyers are pushing back Wild times
