Trying something new I’m trying, sharing a few different stories I’ve come across in the last week that I’ve found interesting or worth reading.
- Backyard Coffee And Jazz In Kyoto, Japan (The Deleted Scenes)
- Effective July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. (National Archives)
- The Scheme that Broke the Texas Lottery (New Yorker)
- Quebec provides universal childcare for less than $7 a day. Here’s what the US can learn (The Guardian)
- Why Engineers Hate Their Managers (And What to Do About It) (Terrible Software)
Most managers aren’t evil; they’re often just as frustrated as their engineers, caught between demanding executives and burnt-out teams. They’re measured on metrics they can’t directly control, asked to do more with less, and criticized from every direction.
- Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy (Adam Kinzinger)
Let me speak plainly: this is cowardice. You do not serve justice by hiding your face. You do not build trust with a community by terrorizing it from behind a mask. And you sure as hell do not defend the Constitution by violating it in the dark.
