@kmixbye Ebooks are usually cheaper. Printing has gotten fairly expensive today. But when you buy digitally the author gets more of the total money which is nice for them.

@aziz0nomics Higher oil prices and easing sanctions will probably cancel out any advantage

@nikicaga Due to harsh segregation they have for a while represented Black people in a way that isn't true for more diffused races
English
The CBC pretending they're the only legitimate representatives of Black Americans is pretty bad ngl
I feel the other minority caucuses aren't nearly as controlling

Politico: The Congressional Black Caucus is frustrated that Governor JB Pritzker tilted the Illinois Democratic Senate primary in Juliana Stratton’s favor over Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) “As Pritzker eyes a potential 2028 presidential bid, some members signaled they won’t forget he crossed them.”

A dispatch from the normieverse: the top commenters on the NYT’s Instagram post about the Cesar Chavez story all believe it’s a distraction from the Epstein Files

@maiamindel I figured chip limitations would burst the AI bubble but I didn't predict this exact scenario

@tobinjstone An alternative is we just create a limited supply of ski passes that one can purchase on the black market but otherwise gives one the privilege of skiing and this pass can be inherited.
English
no one wants to hear this, but the best way to address the dual problems of high ticket prices and overcrowding at ski resorts would just be to make it easier to open up new ski resorts across America

@GardeningAdam They need to think deeper about Rock as a type. Could Lead paint be an attack? Uranium is a kind of rock. Lava is half-rock.
English
We really do need more special attacking Rock-type moves 😭
But I also get that it's tricky
Because how do you do an attack involving rocks
That is not physically hitting something with rocks
Surely there is something they could do though...

We had the power to block his nomination. Fetterman allowed it to happen. He must be primaried. He is no Democrat.

I want to talk more about this, but the goal for quantity over quality is not the right approach.
Let's say you could generate a novel a day using a language model. That's way more than you could read, much less your target audience.

Every creative person I know that has embraced AI as a tool for their art has produced more content this month than all of last year. A true creative individual sees AI and feels completely empowered. They feel like the entire world has opened up to them. But a lot of self professed creative people, who have been grifting as creatives for decades, are about to be exposed as frauds who and pretenders who only know how to work within the politics of the current system. They will sit down before the greatest tool for creativity the world has ever known and not have a single idea how to use it or what story to tell. Pay attention to what is happening and who rejects the gift, and who embraces it.

It would be great if we had a teenager Internet where all your dumb posts were automatically deleted once you were ready to graduate to the public.

Despite thinking she’s a psychopath, I’m not remotely in favour of digging up Mamdani’s wife’s social media posts from when she was a teenager. That being said, the same type of people who are decrying this overreach had absolutely no problem with the media attempting to destroy a teenage boy’s life for ‘smirking’ at a man who was banging a drum in his face. Thus the outrage all seems rather hypocritical to me.

Jeremiah’s deputy is joking about Pete Hegseth blowing up boats sending humanitarian aid to Cuba. every 2026 neolib is a 1973 neolib; they will bore you to tears about zoning reform and speech norms to distract from their main project, which is to throw you out of a helicopter
Jeremiah Johnson 🌐@JeremiahDJohns
It's a real and growing problem that someone as extreme as Hasan gets glowing profiles in every liberal/progressive media outlet. He's toxic, he's an authoritarian, and he promotes political violence, but progs everywhere only care that he calls himself a socialist and is hot.

Remember, you can still go to jail in NYC for exhibiting a ballet or puppet show from a window. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@CartoonsHateHer I shared this article with my boo. It'd be great to get some family travel tips in the future.

I wrote about how I perform in public with my kids so won't judge me- and this article is free! Link in replies.

I have a no-tablet rule for my kids EXCEPT in airports and airplanes, and we recently flew and I felt self conscious so I kept loudly saying "Enjoy the tablets for now, guys, because you know you NEVER GET THESE AT HOME" aaah I'm so pathetic

@uncledoomer It's better than nothing. Obviously the City of Yes does much more too.

am i the only one who feels like "you can rent a shed in someones backyard" is less of a big win as far as housing affordability goes, and more of an unsettling harbinger of our backslide out of prosperity?

One of the hardest fought wins in the big City of Yes zoning change was the legalization of “Ancillary Dwelling Units” (ADUs)—a tiny house in the back yard, home over a garage, basement apartment etc. This zoning change could unlock as much as 25k desperately needed new homes in NYC’s low-density neighborhoods…but only if homeowners take advantage it. Now @NYCHousing is launching new tools to help: find out if your address qualifies, access low-interest financing, see pre-made designs etc. All here: nyc.gov/aduforyou This is just one more way housing creation in NYC is entering a whole new era. Thanks to all who fought hard for this.
