I don't ever need to see a photo or footage of the Twin Towers ever again. I will never, as long as memory holds a seat in this distracted globe, forget that morning, those sounds, that smell as the wind shifted towards uptown.

I've seen a lot of "saying AI is useless is hyperbolic" but the flipside hyperbole is denying that AI still has serious deficiencies. Bullshitting is inherent to the ways LLMs work. Whatever the form—erroneous facts, mangled data, fake cites, or the plagiarism here—it's impossible to fully mitigate.

@stevebenen.com @steveinskeep.bsky.social @reuters.com FYI: When people in Buffalo lobbied to cancel the DHS job fair last week, local electeds canceled it. DHS rescheduled it, outdoors, at the Coast Guard. We meant it when we said ICE is not welcome.

(h/t to Burning River Brigade) Eight locks, twenty-seven miles, all of it in Ontario. There is no other route. $26.3BN of American trade depends on gates we don't own. "The United States has the clear leverage," the White House posted yesterday. Somebody get this idiot a map.

The Welland Canal: Canada owns all eight locks. Shut up, Donald.

This is the tragic yet logical result of a decades-long project—undertaken by rightwing politicians and “business-minded” administrators alike—to distort the meaning of higher education, to deny the intrinsic value of the pursuit of knowledge, to deprive us all of richer, more purposeful lives.

This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.

Another day, another government climate agency pointing out that unchecked data centre growth directly impacts climate targets 🫠 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Coal mine expansions and a surge in new data centres risk pushing New South Wales further from its emissions reduction targets, which the state's independent climate watchdog says it is already on course to miss.

The NSW Net Zero Commission (NZC) annual progress report found the state is falling increasingly further behind on reducing emissions.

According to government projections, NSW will fall between 10 and 20 million tonnes short of its 2030 emissions target, up from an estimated 7 million tonnes the year prior.

It comes as 20 applications to extend coal mines sit in the planning system, including the proposal to extend Hunter Valley Operations currently before the Independent Planning Commission (IPC).
