The whole “we must defeat them in the marketplace of ideas” liberal brain rot really need to die. People should have learned way back in 2016 that giving attention to bad faith actors only helps them.

The tariffs certainly appear to be working. American companies are no longer importing goods from China. Instead, they're becoming Chinese companies and producing good domestically.

On the theme of, "American planners regulate the wrong things," we should have much stricter regulations on noise-proofing apartments. It's the sort of issue regulation is meant to handle: it's difficult for most consumer to assess it before making a decision, and it really impacts qualify of life.
4-plex going up a few blocks from me. Gonna see about getting a showing when it's done. If we can see 2 adjacent units at the same time I'll bring a lil Bluetooth speaker to test the acoustic performance between units.
There aren't offset studs between units, so I figure it will perform poorly.

beautiful piece about our first year without David: “Lynch never asks his audience, implicitly or otherwise, to imagine “what it is like” to be John Merrick or Laura Palmer. He was not an empathic director but, rather, an uncommonly compassionate one.”
2025 Was David Lynch

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

the robot trying to steal my job isn’t even good at it! it consumes like 1000 gallons of water to make a 6 minute podcast that’s aggressively wrong more than half time! i can make a much longer podcast using way less water. i don’t even shower on days that i’m writing.
New: When the Washington Post ran tests on its AI personalized podcasts, the paper found that between 68% and 84% (!!) of the pods had potential issues.
Still, the paper decided to release the product anyway, saying it would “iterate through the remaining issues”

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
