I actually know the answer to this and it's slightly insane. Google pulls from Wikipedia to determine if a place is a city, town, neighbourhood, whatever. Brighton's first line describes it as a "seaside resort" so Google Maps thinks it's a neighbourhood and doesn't display it in the "city" font.

Here’s a video from the same podcast as linked in my previous post where you can hear the audio too. I love this because it really lays bare how LLMs fool us - but really they’re just slotting words into linguistic patterns that we’re familiar with. Genres like a podcast or LinkedIn post.

The reason abolition is scary is because we've all been told the US prison system is normal and we're all in danger without it. That's a lie. Prison labor is a $9 billion industry annually. That's why they lie to you. We don't need prisons. We need healthcare, housing, and education for all.

“Play the game, not the keyboard.” I remember seeing ads for Saitek's PC Dash everywhere for a while in 97-99, and it did seem like the coolest thing for adding a splash of futuristic flair to playing games on the beige boxes. Each game compatible with it would have a themed overlay.

A long vertical ad for PCDash Graphic Command pad, which is drawing tablet sized with a bezel around the central touch-interface. You slide a game-themed overlay with hotkey functions in grids/lines of bubbles into it and tap away at that rather than your keyboard. The example shown is a Tomb Raider one, and you tap away at it for movement functions too and not just supplementary actions like with a flight or mech sim.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.
