feels like we're soon going to be seeing a lot more people who have gone all-in on AI grappling with "you're almost certainly going to end up liable for massive fuck-ups based on your work that incorporated GenAI, not the company who made the GenAI software that you used."

Oregon legislators who prioritized highway expansions and stadium rehab money while gutting mass transit and safe routes money sure look like stooges in the middle of a huge gas crisis.

Yeah it starts weirdly horny at the start and then end trying to be weirdly wholesome? Odd movie that I respect the oddness of it.

FIFA will allow broadcasters to cut away to advertisements during the "hydration breaks" that will split up each half of every 2026 World Cup match, multiple people briefed on the guidelines or with direct knowledge of them told The Athletic.

My parents where at separate conferences at club Med for work, get sat together for singles night and that is how they met. Also my dad got my mom’s number but lost the piece of paper for a few months before calling.

And the obvious result is simply a lot of people asking why not to just shoot at leaders, if the consensus is that there is not even tut-tutting as a response.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

It's almost impossible to comprehend how many people have died now because a racist reality star just couldn't deal with having a popular black president.

It also likes things to be incredibly simplistic, a few people from Hollywood can control public opinion at a whim, and a few people who vaguely work for the president have incredible power and funds without any friction to their actions.

It is just patting itself for cynicism above anything.

I can understand the anger at the NYT, I stopped my subscription over that and many of the failings in positions boosted and editorial decisions that have harmed directly that community and others.

I also think it seems like a problems who gets focused rage for working for that paper, not articles.

'fraudulent amber alert' is the sort of thing that simply must have decades in prison attached to it because of how corrosive it is to one of the few remaining high-trust law enforcement/public safety mechanisms.

So it looks like the intent was to add cost to luxury private flights, I think Liias should have written it more narrowly in target or make bigger cutouts for more commercial categories.
Raising the fuel cost and fees for all to raise money for green aviation might just hurt that effort.

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

Its been scrappy for a bit and the wolves players look annoyed at being not good enough, trying to dive and foul and moan about it.

I expect a very bad foul incoming

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie β€œclassic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

They certainly don’t know history, they imagine things should support their crap views.
