NEW: Thereโs a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
People who have NO business being dead:

Chadwick Boseman
Prince

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.
To be clear:
LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.
The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.
This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from โฆ their own govt.

But heโs seen the โnaked bike rideโ
And he thinks THATโS threatening.

15.10.2025 00:03 โ ๐ 2931 ๐ 579 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A handful of users abused the system so all are getting punished. This isn't about a few high-usage users. The reality is that approximately 22.5% of our users are consuming 20x what they're currently paying us. This isn't sustainable for us to continue delivering the quality service you expect. We have built some very powerful tools and we donโt want to impose artificial limits on whatโs possible, but we do need to be able to charge in proportion to the use customers are getting from our platform. Developers are always going to push their tools to their limits, and we encourage that โ and we need to be able to charge for it appropriately, too.
You only care about professional developers. Our core focus is on building the best AI coding agent for professional software engineers and their teams. If people outside of that group are finding value with Augment, they are very welcome to use the product, but weโre not prioritizing features or solutions that non-developers might need, and frankly, there are plenty of vibe coding/low code/no code solutions available on the market that will better serve those customers. You are just squeezing money out of us at 20x margin. 20x margin sounds great, but isnโt the reality for AI tools: the vast majority are running at a loss, including us, while we work to build sustainable, long-term businesses.
Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.

14.10.2025 18:28 โ ๐ 3177 ๐ 455 ๐ฌ 110 ๐ 13Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: โBlack Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah. It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.โ โDโAngeloโs First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and Itโs Surprisingly Timelyโ via TIME.
What DโAngelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.
His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading โmonarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulsesโ and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother
