I’m convinced the reason I love reading is because I got to live a bus ride away from the St Louis Public Library Central Branch. The hum of the pneumatic tubes and pattering of books dropping down the chutes while reading and studying was so peaceful. www.youtube.com/watch

Also mind you, there’s a high degree of regionalism too– $2000 rent in LA or NYC is a lucky find; in Macon, GA this would be a luxury apartment. The great equalizer is proving to be utility rates now. In the cheaper areas, they aren’t as regulated and fluctuate wildly; in the metro areas, the […]

AI dubs are almost as comically bad as AI slop videos. We. Aren’t. There. Yet. And putting this stuff out there in its not-ready-for-primetime form just makes it clear that that AI driven tech bubble will burst that much sooner. It’s a solution in search of a problem with this sort of thing.

There’s new feature on the bird app that can tell where an account is based in and connects from, but VPNs and using the web app is a thing, so be careful out there. (I’m never putting X on my phone and always use VPN so my info will always look like this but it ain’t me you gotta wonder about 😉)
