Alberta is the only large, human-inhabited place on Earth that is completely rat-free. This Canadian province kept rats at bay before they had a chance to spread, in the 1950s. They took the task of keeping themselves rat-free so seriously, that they literally established a rat control zone at the time. Alberta also introduced a law so that ‘every person and municipality’ was obliged to destroy rats they found.
Alberta continues to be rat-free through the persistence of inhabitants who are committed to preserve what they inherited!

Almost every single person on Earth lives with rats. Only 5 million people out of 8 billion live rat free. They are the Albertans.
Alberta is the only significantly human-inhabited place on Earth that is rat free. It achieved this in the 1950s as rats invaded from the East, by introducing a rodent surveillance state, obliging every citizen of the province to report them and terminating any sightings with extreme prejudice. They laid 63,000 kg of arsenic across a 600-kilometre-long, 29-kilometre-wide Rat Control Zone along the province's Eastern border.
Back then, rats were so unfamiliar in Alberta that officials distributed preserved rat corpses to teach people what the enemy looked like. One pest-control officer held public meetings at which he ate warfarin-soaked oatmeal to show it was safe.
And it worked! They held rats off and numbers remained so low that the surveillance and eradication system could keep numbers at essentially zero for years, at extremely low costs – Alberta spends about 11 cents per resident on rat control measures, much less than neighbouring provinces that are infested.
Today, Albertans have grown so unfamiliar with rats that they frequently mistake squirrels, gophers, and other small animals for them: of 875 reported sightings in 2025, only 47 turned out to be actual rats. Pet rats are banned, vehicles entering Alberta are checked, and sightings are responded to with overwhelming force.
Could the rest of the world manage it? Probably not. The secret was to stop them before they could establish themselves. For the rest of us, we probably need gene drives. Read the story of how Alberta won the war on rats at Works in Progress now.

This is the environmental review for a 460-acre project with 6,000 homes.
It started 36 years ago.
If CEQA were in effect a hundred years ago, California’s population would be a fraction of the size it is today.
This approach to development is fundamentally anti-American.

My friend @_djpn got pushed onto the subway tracks in NYC.
He's alive, but seriously injured.
Every day for the past week, people have gotten shoved onto the tracks or stabbed by homeless men who were known to the police.
We don't have to live like this. Just lock them up.

CA supply side housing idea: state sponsored remediation fund.
There are A infill sites all across the state that are too risky/expensive for the private market to develop.
As an example, this former gas station site in prime Rockridge could fit hundreds of units, but has been vacant for years.

Well, you have to get it through Congress of course. But there's a growing coalition in favor of bringing back some form of accelerated depreciation for housing. See our report on the subject here: publicenterprise.org/report/…

Ranchers are refusing to self-report screwworm in their cattle. Why? USDA policy means a positive find triggers quarantine/confiscation of the whole herd—risking everything they’ve built. Renée’s right. This is killing cooperation. 🐄
Used to work: Send in a sample. If positive, USDA releases sterile flies (SIT) that mate with wild ones & crash the population—no mass slaughter.
That’s how we eradicated it before.
Now they’re pushing a $750M sterile fly facility in Edinburg, TX while scaring producers silent. Fix the incentives! Look it up: sterile insect technique worked for decades. #Screwworm #TexasRanchers”
Community note
USDA policy upon screwworm detection requires quarantine and movement restrictions on affected premises but does not involve confiscation or depopulation of entire herds, which is not used for control. aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/…

BREAKING NEWS: The USDA has officially confirmed a positive case of the Newworld Screwworm in LaPryor, Texas
This announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Secretary and her allies discredited concerns from elected officials and producers in South Texas, accusing them of spreading misinformation and FAKE NEWS, and reassuring that there were no active cases in the United States
We are immediately calling on the White House to step in and declare a National Emergency to ensure that the USDA does not continue to throttle the funding and resources required to contain this as effectively as possible
The risk of this spreading outside of Texas and even into HUMANS is getting higher and higher by the day, and WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

The issue is that the piano/sports aren't necessarily a golden summer of leisure and personal development before the 40 years of slides begin.
The recreational activities are often conducted with the same grim anxiety and workism as the rest of life, yet even more pointless.
We complain about kids spending hours a day on piano/sports, but like, these same kids are going to spend 40 years of their lives making slides or resizing website buttons or trading options, is it really that bad to spend a few years on tennis or Beethoven all considered

Big companies are producing public goods these days. Is it as good as having the vigorous state of the 1950s and 1960s tackling problems? Maybe not, but that doesn’t seem to be coming back, and this is very cool. nypost.com/2026/05/29/us-new…

What can you build on a commercial half-hectare plot in every Indian state?
Not remotely as much as you can in Singapore.

The QueensLink would reuse an abandoned 3.5-mile rail corridor in NYC, no expensive tunneling. At ~$3.5B, it’s one of the cheapest ways to expand the subway. Add upzoning near new stations and you unlock massive transit-oriented development. 160,000 new homes.
Why kill this?

Shannon O'Connor, a woman from Los Gatos, California, allowed her teenager to host parties with sex and alcohol.
She is not accused of having sexual contact with anyone.
For this, she was sentenced to 36 YEARS in prison! 16 felonies and over a dozen misdemeanors.
One of the parents of the kids who attended the parties: "When people call you a monster, pedophile, rapist, they had it right."
Pedophile!
Another parent: "You have to protect the children, even when it's hard."
We've lost our minds as a society.
When I was a kid, every group had a "cool mom" who let people party at their house. Maybe such people are losers, but no one thought they were monsters who deserved decades in jail. The word pedophile would've been the furthest thing from anyone's mind.
Nobody would've thought that they were traumatized by them. The sentencing came after three days of victim impact statements, meaning that the children have been convinced they were victims. Of what exactly? We allow teens to have sex with one another! Did an adult hosting make the sex more traumatic? It would've been fine if they snuck into someone's room?
We're so afraid of children going outside now that if kids drink and have sex, we just lock up the adult in closest proximity to them at the time.
I've never seen a story that did so much to convince me that the culture that I grew up with is gone. It's little wonder that young people are this passive, fragile, and pathetic.

Shannon O'Connor was found guilty of 48 charges including sexual penetration of an intoxicated victim, influencing a child to engage in sexual activity with another child, and annoying or molesting a child..
