Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.
A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

Hegseth, for example, can get a separate murder indictment for each boat strike. We should also encourage other countries to charge them as well where justified, and be open to extradition.

The strategy next time should be to indict everyone for everything, everywhere. The ex-president, if alive, should get a hundred indictments, spread across as many districts as possible, with as many state charges separately brought as possible. Cabinet members and aides should get dozens.

It’s important that Google Earth/Maps has done this, but worth noting that so far the updated 2026 imagery is only of southern Gaza—the imagery of northern Gaza is still from before the final destruction of spring-fall 2025, giving the impression that large areas of Gaza City and Jabaliya are…

The U.S. announced airstrikes on 9/24 near Qumbi, Somalia. Initial press release didn’t specify number. We have a query out on that. Of 6 declared strikes this month, 3 have been in vicinity of Qumbi by our tally. Still no declared strikes vs ISIS since May. www.newamerica.org/insights/ame...

It is very much like CIA public affairs to not know what kind of helicopter their own extremely historic helicopter that they display at HQ is (The quote-tweeter who’s corrected them was a paramilitary officer in CIA SAD’s Air Branch at the time, and that’s him posing with it in Afg in early 2002)

This is both (a) the result of carelessness in the guardrails and (b) an unavoidable outcome with *all* AI. You can do better on (a) to mitigate when/how (b) occurs but a probabilistic model built to have essentially unlimited functionality will sometimes go bonkers. That's inherent to to the tech.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

We Have Enough Dead Friends
BY LENA OLEANDERSON

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat's a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but 
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don't have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living's been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn't have to be that bad,
it doesn't have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don't have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I'm on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating's been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.
