Asked Gemini to put a different paint color on my father-in-law’s house. Instead of doing that, it added a plaque to his front porch reading “Well done, porch” and added a place for him to hang his keys outside his front door.

Can someone explain wtf is going on with the X scale in this chart? Are you telling me all these studies find results strongly clustered together in these 3 groupings? There are no studies finding an effect that is halfway between unclear and harmful?

So Google has eliminated the ability to add a movie to my watchlist from the search page? (At least on mobile.) They are truly plumbing the depths of ways to degrade the usefulness of their product every single day and I just loathe them as much as Meta now.

Just made my first donation of the cycle to Adam Hamilton for Senate in Kansas, based on this analysis: highest net favorability of any senate candidate polled, 28% haven’t heard of him, leads by 12 among those that have. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...
How are Democrats so competitive in
Kansas? There are a lot of factors, but what might get them over the top is the appeal of their candidate, Adam Hamilton. He is the senior pastor of the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, and he's a first-time candidate who says he's running against socialism and health care cuts.
Mr. Hamilton has the highest net favorability rating of any of the candidates tested in these polls, and he may have more room to grow. Overall, 28 percent of likely voters said they hadn't heard of him. The danger for Republicans is obvious: If more voters learn that he's no ordinary Democrat, Mr. Hamilton might gain more support.
Mr. Hamilton is actually performing worse than the Democratic Party on the generic congressional ballot among the voters who haven't heard of him. Among the voters who do have an opinion of him, he's running 12 points ahead of the generic ballot — which would be enough for him to win.

Like, regulations that establish decreasing density at arbitrary distances from higher-order transit stations are pure political compromises, with no scientific evidence, and a caricature of how market forces work (or how laypeople think they work).

This article rather hilariously quotes a US expert saying naval drones “don’t change the equation” and then proceeds to prove exactly otherwise.

Growing up outside of Little Rock and learning its history, Eisenhower’s federalizing of the National Guard to enforce the desegregation of Central High School was a source of inspiration for me and what our country can be. Anyway,
By Natan Odenheimer and Fatima AbdulKarim
Natan Odenheimer reported from Tel Aviv, and Fatima Abdulkarim from Ramallah, West Bank.

Sept. 29, 2026, 8:41 a.m. ET

More than 100 Israeli settlers attacked
Palestinians and soldiers in the West Bank when the military tried to return a Palestinian family to their home months after they were forced out following a long campaign of violence.

The clashes overnight Monday occurred as the Israeli military and police have been accused of failing to protect Palestinians in the occupied territory, with a surge of settler attacks resulting in few arrests.

In the latest outburst of violence, the settlers set fire to Palestinian homes and wounded three Israeli border police officers when the soldiers tried to return the family, the Toubassis, to their home in the village of Jalud, north of the city of Ramallah, the military said in a statement. Three people were arrested, according to the Israeli police, who said in a statement that they had opened an investigation into the attack.

Excuse me. yall have been sitting on Pomo AMC in Charlotte this whole time? And you weren’t gonna tell me??
A wide angle photo of a postmodern movie theater. The entrance plaza is covered by a very pointy gable with a bluish green roof. Flanking it are two large boxes where the auditoriums are. A sunray design in the same blue-green radiates outward from the center on each facade. The same picture but more focused on the entry plaza. There are two circular columns supporting the gable. A detail of a corner showing the rays connecting to form a triangle. The pavement has a large semicircular pattern bounded by red brick pavers. Another corner with a circle pattern in the ground coming out of it. Above is an oculus. The changes in paver color mimics the sunlight of the oculus.

Yesterday I was crossing the street when a lady shouted at me from her car: “Excuse me sir! I just wanted to let you know, it’ll all be okay.” She seemed otherwise pretty normal/unremarkable and i was having a good day so this was a little unnerving. What kind of omen is this?

Mobilizing a construction job typically takes 2-4 weeks from giving the contractor a notice to proceed. Even if “construction” doesn’t start for 14 days, the NTP obligates significant costs such as the rental and delivery of equipment.
