"What we have is a lot of furious people." The eviction of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal in Madrid, after an investment fund bought her apartment building and more than tripled her rent, has become a symbol of Spain's rising cost of living.

Aaron Swartz is no longer here to tell us what he saw like twenty years ago. futurism.com/artificial-i...
Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:
thehandbasket.co
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

I came up with some more inane bullshit for everyone to argue about!
(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

UnitedHealthcare, which just posted profits of $5.5B for the 2nd quarter, takes your tax dollars under the pretense of providing coverage to Medicare patients. That’s up from $3.4B last yr bc they intentionally decreased the amount of medical care they will cover. That’s their entire business model
"The second quarter 2026 medical care ratio was 86.7% compared to 89.4% in the second quarter 2025," the company said of the ratio, which is the percentage of premium revenue that goes toward medical costs. "The year-over-year decrease was driven by benefit design and pricing discipline, member mix and medical cost management initiatives.”

Pretty insightful stuff here from Bret Stephens, who admits he's literally as out of touch as possible with every New Yorker alive right now. Zohran is the most popular politician in the country, Dem leadership is historically unpopular, and he's just... the opposite. And he works for the NY Times.
