funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

It's wild to me that, while Del Mar alts are fairly far along in study, the best we have for san clemente track relocation is an OC supe saying earlier this month that OCTA will 'soon' embark on a study to relocate the tracks... IN 30 YEARS. They intend to keep the tracks here for 3 MORE DECADES.

75% of this money goes back to LA Metro, 25% to LADOT - equating about ~ 1 million/mile for metro and ~350k/mile for LADOT. Imagine how much money the bus lanes from a full HLA buildout and Metro's countywide BRT program could bring in. (Nathan Fielder voice) Here's the plan:
basin.la
LA’s bus lane cameras issued $42.8 million in fines last year
The streets where tickets were recorded cover an estimated 31 miles. The program now accounts for nearly a quarter of the city’s parking fines.

Re: the dumb rolling stone article, while riding the train back from the event on Friday I listened to a *bossa nova* playlist on Spotify. As an Old I am so far removed from new music that I am listening to mas que nada and girl from ipanema to relax. My brain is basically elevator music.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Someone on Reddit just pointed out that today is the 10 year anniversary of uploading my first metro video for Measure M. Wild. I also realized my YouTube account will turn 20 in March because I made it freshman year of college to upload stuff for our college tv station that I’d just taken over.

"No matter how well-intentioned the members of these committees may be, if David Ellison wants to get around them, he will. It’s an artificial set of rules that a billionaire owner will inevitably circumvent. These 'independent' boards are PR gestures, not vehicles for editorial protection."
niemanlab.org
David Ellison will get control of CNN after all (and don’t pretend an “independent editorial board” will mean otherwise)
In exchange for dropping their lawsuit against Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, state AGs have negotiated "independent" oversight of CNN. You shouldn't expect much oversight.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Karen Bass has a supermajority of the city council in her corner and apparently the ability to get any random bullshit written into state law. Any ‘change’ she wants to make she’s had the ability and opportunity to make. She doesn’t want change, she wants to keep locking in the status quo.

Lot of issues here but one part that sticks out in light of the almost-attacked-a-Chinese-ship story today: people with very important jobs where lives are at stake have bought the hype and outsourced their whole brains to AI. We're going to see more and more of this. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...
In the past year, the Defense Department has rapidly made Maven a cornerstone of the US military apparatus. Several former senior US military officials now work for Palantir, including some with high-level security clearances in Centcom’s Tampa headquarters. Their role is to keep the software functioning inside secure military environments. Some Centcom personnel expected Maven to flag stale information or inconsistencies in the underlying intelligence assembled for potential targets, the officials said. It’s not clear why they had such expectations.
The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.

The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.

It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
