I’m torn because I want to share images to social media for others to enjoy but I also hate that they get used for training AI models that steal from artists…

Can you imagine if Biden, Obama, or even Clinton had suggested they would withhold federal funds from a city/state based simply on who they elected mayor?

With all the political news and sports stuff and scandals and controversy - it’s nice to see that most people regardless of background seem to agree on a couple of things:

Flock license plate cameras

and

Kim Kardashian’s legal drama show

are both terrible.

By global standards, Mamdani is a pretty standard liberal. By American standards, he's the second coming of Lenin.

But he's doing a great job of reminding people that a politician can be a civil servant who wants to make things better for everyone without having to knock anyone down in the process.

#Oregon Voters: you’re going to see info about referring the gas & registration #tax increase to the ballot - but you should also know that it’s a SUBSTANTIAL increase to electric vehicle costs as well. The #EV cost increase for the average driver will be higher than the gas increases.

Players have numbers, logos, and symbols hidden on their thigh pads and I can’t unsee it.

I understand that BlueSky is a liberal bubble - so no one who needs to will ever see my posts, but:

If one party controls the house, the senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court - how then is everything the _other_ party’s fault?

A Portland coffee shop that, as of Tuesday, had raised about $90,000 to help serve breakfast to people losing federal food benefits, has, a day later, raised nearly $200,000.

I’m no expert, in fact I don’t even watch it - but I am getting the sense that something kind of interesting is happening in baseball right now?

How the hell does the win probability calculator still have data to go on this far out. What is it using? Does it just hallucinate after 17?

I love how companies require you to have always-on internet connections and multiple accounts just to play a video game, but when there’s an outage it’s crickets…

I disagree @gruber.foo - with a xerox machine you have to have a physical source. You have to do the work to find and acquire the source, you have to physically modify your own work, and iterate physically. It’s very different than just writing prompts for AI.

“Overall, Apple is prioritizing spectacle over usability, lending credibility to the theory that Liquid Glass is an attempt to distract customers from iOS 26’s lack of long-promised AI features.”

Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26
iOS 26’s visual language obscures content instead of letting it take the spotlight. New (but not always better) design patterns replace established conventions.
