I remember the good old days where the Atlantic had nuanced, well researched articles. So, is the new strategy just producing rage bait written by recent ivy league graduates?

Failed businessman, who somehow was able to bankrupt a casino, will definitely "build" a steel mill in a state who has no iron reserves and will need it to be shipped in from their northern neighbor state.

I'm almost tempted to start a series that highlights the family run gas stations. They have some of the best food available, especially with some middle eastern food that isn't the easiest to find in the Cities.

This post got me thinking about what happens when vibe-coding is in all the programming. On big iron platforms, the oldest programmer on the team was the guy you went to because he didn't document for shit but knew the system inside and out. Who's that person now when things go to shit?

Some of my neighbor friends were surprised to hear that the nervous feeling of "nobody will come and also there won't be enough food" is not just for throwing "regular" parties, it's also for book launch parties. But it sure is. Oh geez. It sure is. So...Thursday evening at 6:00 at Moon Palace....

The AI bubble isn't yet bursting, but things are happening. Aside from local resistance to data centers and AI companies publicly calling for a pause, there are other signs. Recently saw deep discounts on solid state drives across the board and good availability a few weeks ago. Feels significant.

To clarify for my friends not in Minnesota, those two were happy to be on TV with tough talk but essentially did fuck all to actually help our citizens. There's a sign in Minneapolis (which I've been meaning to get a picture of) which says "the DNC won't save us," which is correct.

WNBA players union leadership released a statement, I suggest everyone read it. This is the message of united union leaders: hate will not be tolerated and trans inclusion IS protecting women’s rights to play sports This is excellently crafted. Proud of Nneka, Phee and the rest of WNBPA leaders
 MESSAGE FROM
WNBPA PLAYER LEADERSHIP
To everyone who loves this game: The WNBPA represents 200+ individual people with different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles, and opinions.
We embrace justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Those are the values that unite this Union and allow it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change.
Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns.
Support the Players. Support the Fans. At games, notify security if you witness hateful, violent, or abusive behavior. Online, report abusive posts and drown out the bots and bad actors. At home, tell your elected officials to strengthen Title IX.

SPPD's intentions aside, I want a mayor who has enough awareness to not place themselves in situations that can be weaponized by an adversarial department. Rule number one is if you're the mayor, act like the fucking mayor. Maybe don't go to the cop gym and reenact a scene from Porky's.
