compute should be a public utility. it is entirely a product of other public utilities. compute regulatory boards should be elected and accountable to the public, with public meetings.

last week of evening lido swim sessions for the year, the sun king truly is dying! This is from yesterday's - last one tonight then no more until next summer ❤️👋

A picture of the Parliament Hill Lido taken by me after the evening swim yesterday. It's twilight and the light is indeed crepuscular. soft sunset, still deep blue pool, deep blue sky. black trees and white swim lane markers. the pavement says DIVING WITH CARE.

god I love GBBO. an amateur baker who is also a pediatric doctor earnestly explaining pointillism to the camera before executing a self portrait in frosting dots, what a culture what a society

someone must compile this year's and every year's best HHD pop culture sermons. Are we not on each our own Odyssey desperately trying to RETURN. Is not Yom Kippur our own Brand New Day. Isn't teshuvah a kind of Practical Magic. etc

went to a Bruce Springsteen themed karaoke last night and the first performer's song choice frankly felt rude

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

in retrospect it was inevitable, we should have seen it coming from the timing (Dolly Parton passing just when rabbis were starting to draft their Rosh Hashanah sermons)

yesterday we went to a big open hill in north London to watch the sun be defeated by the moon, and there were loads of people in little groups hanging out and sharing eclipse glasses and eating snacks and generally having a nice time, and at the end some people applauded. EXTREMELY wholesome evening

the actual order of events from 2020-2024 gets strategically jumbled by reactionary centrists all the time. They love to blame 2024 on wokeness while skipping over the fact that Dems won in 2020. They talk about early COVID Iike it was a failure of Dem policy when Trump was in office.

Every six months a writer goes on parental leave, is driven insane by watching 10,000 hours of Paw Patrol, and writes another one of these articles, and they're always great.

What a stat: "according to our analysis of HMRC figures, the 119,000 residents of Camden who pay income tax contribute more (£4.7bn) than all the residents of Birmingham and Glasgow combined (£4bn)." (no comment on substance - just a great use of statistics) www.londoncentric.media/p/londons-fi...

I think it's good that Mamdani is Just Doing Stuff but more people gotta realize that it is not a matter of Will or motivation or whatever but because the NYC Mayor, as an office, is one of the uniquely powerful individual offices you can hold in the United States (seriously)
