Zach Klein explaining USA to his kids before their return from 2 years in Span. Great read:
While everyone’s freaking out over Signalgate — Pete Hegseth and top Trump folks accidentally adding a journalist to a Signal group chat about war plans — nobody’s talking about the fact that Russia literally just tried to hack Signal.
Like... maybe don’t use a messaging app that foreign adversaries are actively targeting to plan military strikes? Just a thought.
Nice piece from a friend— he says he’s not a pronatalist, but son if you want More Babies, then you’re Pro Natal 😉

A former steel mill next to a FrontRunner train station in Utah is set to become one of the best TODs I've ever seen. It will bring offices, schools, a performing arts center, 47 acres of parks, and 17,000 residents to a pedestrian-first neighborhood 9x denser than Salt Lake City. This is how you make transit work.

Decided to turn this into a HW problem for my sports analytics methods class… I love my job lol
We need to take the US threat very seriously and be vigilant … from the post … “The Trump regime is using the dictator’s playbook against what was once its closest ally.
This increasingly looks like a destabilization campaign aimed at annexing Canada. It would be foolish to believe this will be limited to the economic realm. If America is intent on annexing Canada, the CIA will be kicking into overdrive.
If this sounds like fanciful conspiracy to you, you need to consider that America has a very long history of running destabilization campaigns as a prelude to war or regime change operations.”
What we can expect (unfortunately)
“Typical destabilization campaigns include:
1) Economic Warfare
tariffs, trade embargos and sanctions
capital flight, investment-strike
economic sabotage, disrupting supply-chains and key industries
2) Political Destabilization
backing opposition groups and parties
undermining elections
creating a constitutional crisis
3) Social Unrest
instigating riots
funding NGOs that oppose the government
weaponizing identity politics, stoking racial, religious and ethnic divides
using agent provocateurs to turn peaceful movements violent
4) Information Warfare
media manipulation through funding and planted narratives
using bots, trolls and paid influencers to manipulate social media
using fear tactics, threat amplification and crisis narratives
hacking
5) Legal and Institutional Warfare
using international institutions to punish or denounce the target
weaponizing human rights cases to discredit leaders
using pressure to isolate target from allies
6) Military and Paramilitary Pressure
creating or funding armed opposition groups
using “false flag” operations to justify intervention
military build-up on borders
assassinations
provoking, funding and maintaining proxy wars
7) Espionage and Covert Operations
creating NGOs, think tanks and business groups to infiltrate society
leaking internal documents
infiltrating government agencies
sabotaging key infrastructure such as power grids, communications and supply chains
Donald Trump has made it clear, he has an expansionist agenda. He has wasted no time in threatening to annex both Greenland and Canada.”
