Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

One thing I'd like to see is permanent treatment. The part closed to cars is still just paint on a roadbed. It should be graded evenly and made to look and feel like the pedestrian space in Times Square rather than a repurposed roadbed. We certainly can do that after years of not allowing cars.

The RFP is for the concessions for the entire plaza (including responsibility for seating). I'm curious how the rides would go. The little carousels in plazas at a number of Paris Metro stops are very cute and very popular with the kiddos. PDF: 34thstreet.org/assets/uploa...

The Trump administration is a strange mix of people most willing and eager to use EVERY lever of power at their disposal in the system but also deeply bad at actually doing work. The machinery grinds on despite ineptitude because the power of the machine is that big and also rarely used.

Cover of "Fuel Economy: A Seatrade Study" from December 1983. A hand in a suit sleeve holds a dropper of dark liquid beneath the huge black word "FUEL" and below a much smaller word "ECONOMY," suggesting fuel measured out drop by drop.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

BACKROOMS (2026) while I enjoyed this dramatization of a bunch of audio logs from CONTROL it is more useful as a bellwether of what horror is interested in now - good example of design and direction working over a thin script

people like my parents or people back home often ask me if the reason why the industry is being killed in slow motion is due to AI, and it's a 15 minute long conversation to understand the real reasons why, at the heart of which are: people who own TV don't make TV and don't want to make TV

Anthropic's IPO filing apparently warns investors that advanced AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” which is a great sales approach and also, coincidentally, the exact phrase I was told when I brought home this guy.
