Chicago’s newest snow plow name ‘Abolish ICE,’ Mayor Brandon Johnson says Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.

As far as I’m concerned, this just continues to prove that DHS doesn’t care about safety and security. It only cares about punishing people to demonstrate the administration’s power.

Why the hell are they doing this when they had a data breach of 70,000 user government IDs just a few months ago?

Every AI ad is so enthusiastic about the creepiest things. No, I don’t want you to use mass surveillance every time someone says they lost a pet.

Just tried to watch a 2022 “Hulu original” movie that is apparently not available on Hulu. What’s the point of these streamers if they don’t even host their own movies?

Peaking in Pink. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.

Comic. [Person talking to person with black hat.] PERSON 1: Historically, it refers to a ceremony to predict the weather using a rodent. But nowadays people often use it to mean “a time loop experienced by one person.” PERSON 2: …What. [caption] Easily our weirdest holiday.

Such a great, funny actress. This is sad news.

I’m going to stay off social media for a while because I don’t need to see another video of someone being murdered. ICE/Border Patrol are a government-funded terrorist organization. The main priority of anyone in power right now should be to do whatever they can to stop them.

Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE.

Understandable!

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

The trouble with remodeling is that once the guys are in your home, you start realizing all the other stuff you need fixed. Before you know it, the projects have multiplied and all of your money has disappeared into the “just one more thing” fund.

Such a wild story!

So they can’t pay licensing fees to anyone whose creative works they stole to create their software, but they’re going to try to charge licensing fees to everyone who makes something off their software. That idea is both ridiculous and insulting.

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

One small thing that would make my life better is if companies stopped immediately emailing and asking me to buy more right after I purchased one of their products.

Unfortunately, that didn’t turn out to be an amazing comeback story for the Bears. Oh well.
