San Francisco’s jail count fell last week to 978, its lowest since August 2023, even as bookings rose. Officials point to a state Supreme Court ruling on pretrial release that was sparked by a stolen cheeseburger.

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics.
- At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled
- At Amherst: more than 30 percent
- At Stanford: nearly 40 percent
Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago."
As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability—extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc—the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded.
America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

UCSD’s message to all high school guidance counselors after it’s come out college math unpreparedness spiked **30x** over the course of just a few years, coinciding with the pandemic and UC’s removal of the SAT in admissions.
“In the short-term, nothing will change”
Incredible.

I think people underrate how much of this is downstream of the fact that we incentivize teachers to get Master’s from Education programs that are just absolutely rife with piss poor methodological practice and insane ideology

Well, it seems the other Bill DeBlasio is back in the news

I profiled Bill de Blasio!!
Wait no. I profiled a 54-year-old dad named Bill DeBlasio, who's spent the last four months receiving a nonstop barrage of hatemail from angry people who think he's the mayor. Sometimes he plays along and trolls them. melmagazine.com/en-us/story/…

Wild story.
Citizens of SF install guerilla swing in Bernal heights.
City bureaucracy removes the swing multiple times
San Francisco’s official Travel Marketing organization just featured the swing in a national TV spot.
Our bloated, overfunded, overstaffed, union-protected bureaucratic jobs program is holding back the potential of our city
Replying to @Memetic_Theory
The swing was just featured in an ad on national TV! The ad played during the college football game of the week Saturday night. Wondering if you'd be willing to share your thoughts on the swing getting shown to a national television audience?youtube.com/watch?v=9jIZggOV…

Santa Clara is one of the first law schools to publish 2026-27 tuition. Historically, Grad PLUS loans have had no limits. Starting next year, professional school borrowing will be capped at $50k/year. Notice anything about the trend in tuition?
I expect many schools to copy this.

During residency, I was surprised to discover the profound influence that screening incentives have on primary care. I am not convinced they improve patient outcomes. This is my latest in Sensible Medicine.

Japanese people thinking immigrants are taking their jobs in a country with only a tiny number of immigrants, a labor shortage problem, and a demographic crisis, kinda shows how silly nativism is.

I’m in Poland now and paid toilets are a blessing. They cost like 50 cents, are ubiquitous, and always clean. Banning paid toilets in the US was so stupid
