News of the world: AI didn’t see that coming
More and more (stupid) companies are turning to AI to handle not just their customer service, but also their dispute and copyright management. This results in users being automatically punished for things they may not have done, and then having no recourse as the AI will turn around and say "On review, your punishments looks good. Fuck off." And there's no one to turn to to resolve the issue.

Ohio Republicans have a big problem, and it’s called data centers. Even Trump voters are pissed about massive data centers threatening their homes, property values, and communities. John Husted brought these projects to Ohio, & Sherrod Brown is making sure voters know it. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Shower thoughts: Silence of the Lambs
When I was getting into the shower, I thought about the time someone said I have really nice skin. And at the time, my first thought wasn't "Wow, what a nice compliment" it was "Are you a serial killer? Are you thinking about skinning me?" And as always, that makes me think of Buffalo Bill from "The Silence of the Lambs" movie with Jodie Foster.

Under this bill, a state can waive certifying the project complies with federal standards, which both *forces the federal agency to treat that as being certified* and *can't be challenged in court*. So Virginia can just waive reviewing data centers fucking up the water supply.
Text from the BAAJA: 

If a certifying authority grants a certification appli21 cation or if a certifying authority waives the certification requirement for a certification application, the agency with jurisdiction over the Federal license... shall consider water quality requirements satisfied for the purpose of considering the application"Also from the BAAJA:

"A waiver of the requirement for a certification under this section shall not be subject to judicial review"

Did your dog recently judge me?
On 10/2 I was standing at the corner of Westlake and Thomas around 7:30am, waiting for the walk signal. You walked up with a Shiba on a leash.

Your dog looked at me, looked at my shoes, then back at my face and held eye contact for a full eight seconds before turning away with a sigh. You were very apologetic and said "Oh, he does that" but I was so shaken I crossed against the light just to get away.

Some people are so fukking delusional
There are so many people--mostly on TikTok--starting their own "small businesses" which are basically just them buying a bunch of candy and overcharging customers to sell it to them. They're wearing the same gloves and touching all the unpackaged candy. They're opening all the candy and storing them in unwashed plastic containers--like, taking the containers straight out of a box, filling them with candy, then putting them on their shelves like they did something.

In spite of being of the correct generation to have grown up while "Peanuts" was still in active publication, it's always a little surreal to be reminded that the most popular comic strip in the English-speaking world for fifty solid years was about an eight-year-old with clinical depression.
