YES. I was just thinking about how many useful ideas and real solutions AREN'T being funded - or even THOUGHT UP - because the money and attention is being sucked into tulip bulbs. You've got kids who might have figured out cold fusion spending all their time building AI video apps.

I was reading from either Chiang or Doctorow about how the tech industry has gone hog wild into LLMs because it has *no new ideas.* All the money is in 6 companies that eat rivals just as they bloom; they don't have TIME to become the next Big Thing. They are acquired and killed. Tech has stagnated

The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

Was excited to find Costa Rica's national bird and then the description is like "you can't miss it because it's the only bird nearby that's boring and sucks"
Clay-colored ThrushDrab, uniformly brown thrush with slightly warmer belly. Dull yellowish bill and very faint streaks on throat. Very common and widespread throughout Central America; limited U.S. range. Found in a variety of shrubby wooded habitats, towns, and parks. Unique color and blandness makes this rarity unlikely to be confused with other species. Tends to stay on the ground or in low vegetation, either singly or in pairs. Song is a varied series of phrases similar to a mockingbird.

Hate it when you see what you think is a cool bird and you look it up later and it’s called like the Common Dumb Asshole. “Birders throughout history have hated its guts. It can’t even fly right.” I thought I saw an interesting guy.

Ok so you know that thing where Facebook shows your friends ads with pictures of your face inserted with AI based on scraping your old photos, well here's the process to opt out of it, which is absolutely insane us.norton.com/blog/ai/how-... you fill out a form from a link buried 3 levels deep
Relevant Prompts
I didn't enter any prompts. Muse used my face in an Al generated ad shown to my friends. I assume this came from photos I uploaded in the past to Facebook or Instagram as I have not posted anything in years.Screenshot of response
Attach one screenshot that shows yo response from an Al at Meta model, f must be less than 4 MB and saved as WebP file.

Additional context
My friend did not take a screenshot because they were too creeped out.

This is a somewhat hot take but I agree with this article overall. We need to be having a more serious conversation about what micro mobility offers and how to build that up than just slamming it all as a menace or looking to restrict and ban it.

We need safer bike lanes, but why was this commute 20 mins by bike vs. 60 by transit to begin with? Reporting hints that she lived either near Jamaica or Middle Village, worked in East NY. Both would be MUCH faster if we built the transit we're paying for: pedestrianobservations.com/2023/06/18/a...

@paulbarter.bsky.social has noted that as countries develop, cities shift from being oriented around motorcycles to transit. Unfortunately NYC is backsliding: people are shifting to e-micro-mobility because transit options are poor, and with that sometimes comes death www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/n...

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.
