I saw firsthand the impact of stop-work-orders/terminations at USAID & now Harvard.
My new @NewYorker piece is on the serious implications for the lives of millions across the world and the US – including for my own family and very possibly your own. 🧵 newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

These attacks are part of a broader assault on America’s health-and-science infrastructure. >90% of the $9B in federal dollars for Harvard that Trump has threatened supports life sciences – including heart disease research that saved my son’s life and guides his future care. 
My family is far from unique. If you or someone you love has cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or diabetes, you have likely benefited from the university’s federally funded discoveries. harvard.edu/research-fundi…
📢Heavily revised working paper on AI + Zoning —
with @AlexBartik and @DMilo75, we have a new draft of our paper which expands on our method to understand housing regulations with AI.

Incudes a new public data release with more housing regulation data:
We've provide much more detail how our approach (which we call Generative Regulatory Measurement) is able to accurately parse and classify regulations and scale, and decompose which steps are most helpful.
Our paper focuses on four key facts about zoning
The first is the multidimensional nature of housing regulations
Unlike a simple view in which housing regulations are just more or less strict, we find a complex structure to regulations reflecting diversity in applications

Your low testosterone is making you soft.
Most men miss the signs:
Fatigue
Hair thinning
Low sex drive
Belly fat that won’t budge
Doctors call it normal aging.
It’s not.
Low Testosterone is silently draining your strength, confidence, and drive.
Here’s how to fix it⬇️

Low Testosterone is silently draining your strength, confidence, and drive.
Here’s how to fix it⬇️
1) Eat These 3 Foods Together
• Brazil nuts (selenium – max 2/day)
• Sardines (omega-3s)
• Pumpkin seeds (zinc)
Selenium boosts testosterone—But it needs omega-3s to shine.
Most men miss this simple stack.

2) Use Hot-Cold Therapy
- 2 minutes cold shower (yes, it feels like punishment)
- 10 minutes sauna (reward your bravery)
This contrast boosts circulation, lowers cortisol, and supports hormonal balance.
Basically, it's a spa day for your endocrine system.

I have been following the emergence of Stephen Miller’s beliefs about the law. Remarkably, he thinks:
-Jan 6 defendants did not get due process despite trials, juries, etc.
-Abrego Garcia did get due process despite admin lies, violation of judicial orders, gulag. /1
-Jan 6 defendants did not get due process despite trials, juries, etc.
-Abrego Garcia did get due process despite admin lies, violation of judicial orders, gulag. /1
This is only possible if you believe the Jan 6 defendants occupy such an elevated moral position that they have an entirely different set of rights, such as the right to storm government buildings. But we don’t believe that in our country, we believe we are created equal. /2
Now consider Miller’s desire to eliminate birthright citizenship. If that is eliminated, what replaces it? Obviously a citizenship that is doled out or awarded by whoever is in power. Rights not endowed by our creator, but given as prizes. /3
“Elon Musk’s [DOGE] has set a loose target of slashing as many as 200,000 jobs from the Pentagon’s civilian work force of 750,000, a level of cuts Mr. Hegseth has warned would cripple some critical functions within the department “

“ Staff members have complained that meetings overseen by Mr. Hegseth’s handpicked chief of staff, Joe Kasper, meander or take pointlessly bawdy turns.” nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/…
“Three civilian Pentagon officials said that their bosses had asked them to provide copies of their résumés so they could prove their “patriotism” to Mr. Hegseth’s office. In all three cases, the employees had served in combat; two of them had been wounded in Afghanistan.”

Why does this work?
Because progress is the biggest motivator.

Peter Jackson committed many sins against Tolkien. None worse than his butchery of Aragorn.
The books show us a KING who knows exactly who he is.
The films gave us a whimpering man questioning his birthright.
One commands respect. The other begs for validation. (thread) 🧵

Book Aragorn has no character arc.
This was intentional.
From the moment we meet Strider at the Prancing Pony to his coronation, he knows who he is.
The story gradually reveals his greatness to others, not to himself. Aragorn is a constant anchor for other characters to grasp.

When confronting the Riders of Rohan, book Aragorn declares: "I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir of Isildur, Elendil's son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again!"
The riders bow in awe.
The film? A tired wanderer with nothing special to offer.

The Seven Most Dreadful Words!
What will your sentence be when you stand before the LORD on the day of judgement? Will you receive a pardon because you accepted Jesus as your Savior and walked in obedience to His Word?
What will your sentence be when you stand before the LORD on the day of judgement? Will you receive a pardon because you accepted Jesus as your Savior and walked in obedience to His Word?
Or will you hear the seven most dreadful Words one could ever hear?
You see, doing good works, being accepting and loving of others, being tolerant of sin, bringing words of peace, or any other thing man thinks is good and worthy of salvation will not save you!

Most businesses think they have a sales problem.
What they really have is a sales system problem.

Across industries, the patterns are very similar.
Companies hit a wall because of things like:
- Wrong prospects being targeted
- Poor messaging that doesn’t resonate
- Dead-end leads clogging the pipeline
- Misaligned or overcomplicated tech stacks
- No clear process to qualify or convert
It’s not always obvious, but it’s always costly.

We just worked with a B2B medical company.
On paper, they were doing fine.
In reality, their sales team was wasting time, missing targets, and frustrated.
They didn’t need more activity.
They needed a smarter structure.
That’s what we built.
