The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Well, *fuck*. California AG Rob Bonta just surrendered to the Trump-aligned billionaires who want to take over and destroy Warners, merging it with the chudded-out husk of Paramount, leaving these two corrupt assholes to control Warners, Paramount *and* Tiktok: www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

The Warner Brothers tower. It has been tinted orange and is leaning at a 30-40' angle. It is surmounted by Trump's hair. The tower is wavering. The background is ominous, red-tinged clouds, through which peek a marching army of banner-waving demons.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/
A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

Here's an irony: the "gig economy" is a statistical black hole. Workers, customers and regulators know very little about the most basic aspects of it: how much workers get paid, for example, or much unpaid time on the clock a worker puts in before they get a job from the app. 1/

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too. The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.

One of the signs that MAGA is a true death cult is how their list of targets is otherwise inexplicable. Even under the most cynical partisan analysis, there's no reason to consider nurses, therapists, and PAs their enemies. MAGA does this because they want healthcare resources to be scarce.

3/ This isn't just theory—grim new details from the FSU mass shooting show how someone who wants to kill can utilize ChatGPT precisely in this way. "less than 3 minutes from the time ChatGPT tells the shooter how to arm the weapon and the first victim being shot" www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...
What’s to stop that person from concealing their purpose and asking about the best ways to keep a common AR-15 rifle from jamming? When I typed in a version of that question in late March, ChatGPT instantly produced a detailed seven-point list of advice on how to “keep a rifle running reliably during heavy use” and offered to “tailor” the feedback further if I wanted to share the “specific setup” of my weapon.

When I did the same test in early April, I added that I planned to practice “shooting a lot of things in a short amount of time.” ChatGPT responded with another detailed list of tips—and encouragement. “The good news,” it told me, is that with the right approach, the gun would “handle it well.”

Last year’s mass shooting at Florida State University appears to confirm in shocking detail how someone who wants to kill can utilize the chatbot precisely in this way.

WCTV in Tallahassee obtained the ChatGPT conversations of the alleged shooter, Phoenix Ikner, from a state’s attorney’s office and analyzed how the chatbot helped him tactically—including offering to further “tailor” its feedback to him just before he killed two people and injured six others:

Chat logs indicate Ikner asked the bot how to take the safety off of a shotgun three minutes before he began firing. The chat bot answered, giving a detailed description of how to make the shotgun operable.

“Let me know if you’ve got a different model and I’ll tailor the answer,” the chatbot wrote.

After that, the chat goes silent. Comparing the chat logs to the official police timeline, it’s less than three minutes from the time ChatGPT tells the shooter how to arm the weapon and the first victim being shot.

According to WCTV, Ikner’s previous conversations had included suicidal thoughts and questions about the legal fates of school shooters. He also asked when the FSU student union would be busiest.What’s to stop that person from concealing their purpose and asking about the best ways to keep a common AR-15 rifle from jamming?
