On the one hand, Muse is vibe coded slop malware. On the other hand you could get a $32 check in 10 years if you let it build a stasi file on you and everyone you know or meet.

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.

“[Baltimore’s] electrically powered streetcars were absolutely reliable in ways buses never mastered. If you missed a streetcar, you stood on the corner and very often could see another coming up the street. Their frequency was remarkable.”

A long perspective on Baltimore
Streetcar service ended in 1963 and that created a serious blow to getting around. Electrically powered streetcars were reliable in ways buses never mastered.

A macho culture of performative selfishness might start on the roads, through racing, rolling coal, ever bigger SUVs ... But it doesn't end there. If we want to live in a decent country which values human life, we need to change this culture. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I was 18 and just moved to NYC for college weeks earlier. heard the first plane hit, went up to the roof and watched the second. hopped on our bikes and headed into Manhattan. we had just crossed the Manhattan Bridge when the first tower collapsed. that day and the weeks after were utterly surreal

some many problems with transit around here but the one detail I always get stuck on is why doesn't the light rail have signal priority? seems like a simple improvement. if not, please forgive my ignorance of transit tech

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

this is crazy. my wife and a bunch of her family members went through the process of verifying their Polish citizenship and got Polish passports. most of them view it as something to have *just in case* they need it but one of the cousins went ahead and moved to Poland.

Looking at the longer series, the generational shift in labor share is striking; the shaded areas are the periods when members of that generation entered the workforce. Elder and junior millennials may occupy the same generation, but they are living very different lives.
A line graph from FRED titled "Nonfarm Business Sector: Labor Share for All Workers" plotting worker compensation index levels from 1947 to present. Four rounded, shaded blocks mark the periods when different generations entered the workforce: Boomers (1965–1984) in red, showing high but fluctuating levels above 110; Gen X (1984–2000) in blue, showing relative stability around 108–113; Millennials (2000–2016) in purple, highlighting a steep downward slide from 113 to under 100; and Gen Z (2016–Present) in yellow, showing labor share continuing at historic lows below 100.

But the truth is that society is a construction project and it is not self-executing. Having a shared project to work on collectively is essential. We are living through a time where a number of people aren't bought into the shared project. So here we are.

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Launch Credit: NASA/John Kraus images.nasa.gov/details/NHQ2... #Roman 🔭🧪
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket with NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Telescope on board is seen transiting the sun during launch from Launch Complex 39A, Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, named after the agency’s first chief astronomer, will survey billions of stars and galaxies with a field of view far larger than Hubble’s, helping scientists study dark energy, exoplanets and the evolution of the universe.
