The Day After They somehow thought this was fit for national broadcast on ABC Maybe we need to re-air it?

Can you tell for certain which setting opts you out of Meta’s enhanced browsing? This may meet some legal definition of compliance, but it’s a horrible user experience. It means they profit from your confusion.

But with less competition, so more leverage on pricing!

And then autonomous will just cut services, consolidate routes, and centralize pick-up/drop-off zones, effectively becoming a private bus company that chooses who to serve and how much to charge

At least we can all take comfort in Frey letting the surveillance state masquerade as a public service.

I guess the politics of this era means you don’t have to hide behind some PR logic anymore

Frey vetoing the Waymo driver ordinance in Minneapolis makes no sense to me. Waymo is a purely extractive enterprise, it employs no locals and sends all revenue to Alphabet in California. If the city can’t ban it, then they should put friction into these transactions to benefit residents.

In the movie version of whatever is happening in our country right now, this Trump tour of red states sure feels like a plot device meant to steel his resolve to unleash whatever jackboot chaos they have planned for the day of the midterm elections.

It looks like a tacit acknowledgment that the K-shaped economy exists.

Just imagine being a foreign power looking to easily acquire intelligence on the US and realizing all you have to do is put your equipment out in the open because it’ll automatically be camouflaged by America’s surveillance state.

Looks like those long-necked bags of feathers filled with shit and much of Canada’s anger are finally starting to head south

Since data is power, their “competitive advantage” is to ensure your own data is un-trendable by you and is incomparable to anyone else’s data. Everything will cost as much as they think your bank account can handle at any given moment. Or more than you can afford if they don’t want you to have it.

If you follow the arc of AI’s development, it’s hard not to conclude that your AI overlords want to run the economy like America’s healthcare system - namely, total opaqueness on prices and gatekeeping access.

It’s like some sort of poverty chic for an inflation-fueled expensive winter. Lower the thermostat to save on your heating bills, keep warm by wearing all your clothes.

In the wake of the financial scandals with the LA Clippers in the NBA and Man City in the Premier League, I wonder if MLS is ready to have a conversation about Miami’s finances yet?

No regulatory system worth its salt is hammered out in a day. If every participant hasn’t threatened to walk at least once during the formation of the regulations, then you haven’t pushed far the regulations far enough.

I can’t wait for the Ken-Burns-of-the-future’s documentary on the extraordinary AI summit at the White House This attempt really feels like a combo of the too weak Articles of Confederation at the founding of the US and the misplaced optimism of Chamberlain’s “peace in our time” before WWII

There’s money to be made on the claim, so of course Polymarket reported it, too.

I like to post on my cousin’s page because I know his kids still read posts on his timeline.

Does anyone else scroll through a deceased friend’s Facebook timeline on their birthday to read the beautiful remembrances?

I’m guessing the lack of video in The Athletic’s coverage is cost-based decision, but a 1,000 word article on a Spanish goal, which included 27 passes over 70 seconds of build up, would have been greatly enhanced by a video of said goal.

Bummed that the season is over for the Lynx. Not sure the league is ready for an Olivia Miles who never wants to feel like this again, though.

It angers me that I can’t quickly tell the difference between Johnny Knoxville and Jamie Lee Curtis in thumbnails photos these days.

I love the temperature outside right now. I hate that it will be this dark, but three hours earlier, in just a little over a month

There’s a joke to be made about MAHA and tossed salad, but I’m not going to make it.

You know that scene in Eyes Wide Shut where Nicole and Tom take their kid Christmas shopping? For no good reason, in my mind this is the nexus between the Elf cinematic universe and the Eyes Wide Shut universe. Just imagine the stories behind the naughty list in this combined cinematic universe.

What the fuck was just aired during an NFL game and paid for by the US Government?

It strikes at the heart of morality. It strikes at how we choose to safely coexist with each other. He is a narcissistic, gluttonous maximalist. In any religious reading, he’s an antichrist. How anyone can sit in a church pew every Sunday and still support this is beyond reason to me.

Derek Johnson @derekjjohnson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

For if you believe there is no way to morally recenter yourself after doing wrong, then why center your actions around values of right or wrong thereafter? Can anyone honestly say that Trump’s lived life suggests any other conclusion? This goes beyond fealty to a notion of god.

Derek Johnson @derekjjohnson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Sunday thought: since Trump has publicly declared he believes he’s going to hell, it left me wondering something troubling; does this mean Trump believes there is no salvation (either spiritually for the religious or mentally and emotionally for the humanists) in atoning for one’s wrongs (sins)?

I say this as a City fan; throw the book at them. Transfer ban, 115 point reduction this season leading to guaranteed relegation, suspensions and/or bans for front office, fines Billionaires have money to burn, so the punishment needs to be commensurate to their ability to withstand financial pain
