Among the other wild things about this boring perpetual take is that it’s ostensible socialists all treating billionaires as having infinitely more resources and power than government. Mike Bloomberg, Billionaire Mayor, had a bigger municipal budget than his net worth every year.

Private construction in 2026 is at a seasonally adjusted annual spend $1,622.9 billion and is pretty infamously cyclical so I would consider this more noise than signal at these variations.

Because why would engineering students ever need to study the ways their very expertise has been used and abused in the past, the way 'oh, I'm just an engineer solving a problem' has been a necessary and foundational lie in every modern system of oppression or extermination?

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.

My hot take on the "is A.I. an actual intelligent entity" is that we dont actually have a particularly good definition of what intelligence is in the first place.

This article is pretty poor. The poll says that Democrats overwhelming approve of the party (net +58). The most liked are ... normal Democrats. The only person who outperforms Pete on net fav is Obama. Mamdani's net fav (+45) trails: Harris (+50), AOC (+47), Pete (+63), Ossoff (+50), Kelly (+50)

this is a bit of an obsession of mine especially here in charlottesville. the cost of commercial real estate is prohibitive if you want to experiment and the city seems categorically opposed to small lots and small units that could allow people to start businesses without a huge capital investment

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?
