New @wsj.com polling shows broad support for proactive government action to lower health and child care costs, take on corporate price-gouging, and ask more of the wealthiest earners to fund programs for the working majority. The days of rampant neoliberalism are over. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Bar chart displaying approval of various policies to aid Americans with cost of living and tax laws. Leading with 90% approval is banning surprise medical bills, followed by requiring health insurance companies to report reasons for denying claims at 87%. Capping prices of drugs negotiated by Medicare shows 87% support, and government negotiation of drug prices is at 84%. Raising taxes on large, profitable companies is favored by 76%. The least supported policy, reducing Social Security benefits if Congress can't agree, has 23% approval. Data source: Wall Street Journal poll, September 2026.

I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

It also feels like corporations, mostly run by men, have made all of this work needlessly MORE complex and less simple to outsource to an AI agent over time. Thinking of things like the illusion of choice based on multiple brands and how customer service awful just so they can make a buck.

Why do the DA & Cornell come across as angry at the victim? There were *some* consequences, and that fact supports there was a victim and perpetrators. The apparent hostility to public outrage gives blame-shifting & a lack of accountability, IMHO. 🚩It's like they're *upset* she didn't let it go.

This is why I have yet to choose getting a dog. I know they're work, and I know the work is worth it, but I also constantly assess what I can give. Dogs are just not going to get what they need here.

As an affirmed dog lover, I have a few things to say. (1) Dogs are harder than people admit. They take a lot of work. They need constant exercise and mental stimulation, especially those with working dog heritage of any kind. Dogs are hard.

here is a succinct thing I can say: "alignment"-style AI safety risks DO NOT EXIST or need remediation with LLMs as such (there are lots of other problems) and OpenAI and Anthropic are in the business of TRYING TO MAKE THEM EXIST so that they can remediate them.
