Greetings from the U.S. suburbs, where I was out rucking in a 40lb. flack vest in the yuletide freeze, while this jacked-up White pickup person w/ a fancy heavy-metal FOP badge & weirdly suggestive runic iconography was snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug indoors, keeping America safe from Christians, like me.

Humans are designed to face life-&-death situations regularly & survive them as many times as not. In technomodernity, this embodied sympathetic hardware persists, but is underused for its intended purposes, sometimes becoming hyper/hypo-activated through misaligned threat/opportunity detection….

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

Michael Andrews was one of the most interesting, important British painters of the 20thC. 'Edinburgh (Old Town),' is one of his last major pictures. He decided to emulate the military engineer John Slezer's 17thC engravings by painting the south-facing aspect above Grassmarket.

Andrej Karpathy’s take on AI coding agents feels grounded. The industry’s chasing full autonomy when models still hallucinate too much. Agents that churn out a thousand lines of code leave you either blindly trusting them or slogging through reviews. These tools should embrace their fallibility.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.
