Sure, agents struggle to accomplish even the most basic tasks and Facebook recently got caught pretending they built agents by outsourcing tasks to poorly-paid contractors but what if they were cute? What now, skeptics?

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

This from the @nytimes.com is an appalling choice in a news story. One can vote for a millionaires tax out of resentment, sure. Or a sense of fairness. Or awareness that a K-shaped economy is unsustainable, a genuine danger to the country. Opinion as lede makes the whole story suspect.

Voters in Washington State will soon be asked to decide which they resent more: rich people or new taxes.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

This hitoe unlined summer silk kimono presents a striking composition of bold vertical stripes in deep black and cream, creating an arresting visual statement that transcends its apparent simplicity. Early Showa period (1926-1940), Japan

The shima (stripe) pattern, one of the most enduring motifs in Japanese textile tradition, is here elevated to a meditation on contrast, rhythm, and optical perception. While the stripes initially appear as stark black and white, closer examination reveals subtle tonal variations within the lighter bands—low-saturation hues that introduce sophisticated complexity beneath the surface austerity. The detail image exposes the refined weaving technique, showing how delicate accent lines frame each major stripe, adding textural depth and demonstrating the technical mastery of early Showa-period weavers.

The design's bold graphic sensibility strongly evokes principles of Op Art, with the high-contrast vertical lines creating subtle optical vibrations and a sense of visual energy that anticipates the movement by several decades. The compositional restraint and emphasis on geometric purity also resonate with Minimalism and Bauhaus ideals, where form is reduced to essential elements while achieving maximum visual impact. There are echoes of Art Deco's love of clean, dramatic geometry as well.

In Japanese symbolism, vertical stripes represent upward movement, aspiration, and progress—themes particularly resonant during the early Showa period's era of modernization. The stripe pattern also carried associations with the iki aesthetic of Edo-period sophistication: understated elegance expressed through refined simplicity rather than ostentation. This kimono embodies that spirit while speaking a decidedly modern visual language.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

The Government
As the Government, you play career politicians from a variety of parties who just want to do a normal and reasonable amount of exploitation and imperialism in a way that will make them rich and comfortable. Unfortunately for you, every time you try to make sensible decisions to avoid wars with giant industrial powers or modernize some part of the national infrastructure to further your modesty evil goals, the two sets of frothing maniacs that make up your military branches start stabbing members of the Diet until their budget goes up.
