I spoke to the person who AI-generated the Chicago Sun-Times reading list. Says he's very embarrassed. This was part of a generic package inserted into newspapers and other publications, so likely to run elsewhere. He didn't know it'd be in Chicago Sun-Times www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

I’m listening to @lollardfish.bsky.social and @profgabriele.com ‘s “Oathbreakers: The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe.” It’s fascinating book in its own right, plus it’s good to read about another era’s problems for a bit and see if there are lessons for our own.

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

At last night's mayoral forum cosponsored by Hell Gate and NY Focus at the Public Theater, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social asked @bradlander.bsky.social a question that Lander was more than ready to answer: What he thought was the worst thing Andrew Cuomo did as governor.

The new Google AI functionality in Docs is total mind-ruining shit. Hit enter in docs, it takes over your cursor to offer to help you write. Every. Time. You. Hit. Enter. Do you know how annoying that is when you are writing something? It's someone interrupting you every minute. MAKE IT STOP.

If Nottaway Plantation had been used as an educational center and museum about the horrors of enslavement, the lives of enslaved people, and of resistance to that system, nobody would celebrate its destruction. Instead, it promoted a racist glorification of the aesthetics of the antebellum South.

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey. Delicious. www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

Rand Paul on the reconciliation bill: "The problem is it's asking conservatives like myself to raise the debt ceiling $5 trillion. That's historic. Nobody has ever raised the debt ceiling that much ... where are the cuts? If the cuts are real why are we gonna borrow $5 trillion?"
