What a lede on this story: Man who complained about narrowing a road in order to protect pedestrians, so much that the city eventually reversed the change, then kills a woman on that very road with his car www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...
America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

My "we're not like Enron" T-shirt has a lot of people asking questions that are already answered by my shirt
Nvidia’s insistence that it isn’t like Enron has investors worrying that the AI bubble might be about to pop. But even if AI turns out to solve all our problems, “it’s a vision of mass displacement, and people being out of jobs.” From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/rhENt92
How the AI Bubble Might Play Out - The American Prospect
Investment in new technology always needs startup financing, and if AI is truly God in the machine, wide adoption will pay off over time. But that isn’t materializing, at least not yet.

Does anyone know where Grimes is right now?
There’s a wild story playing out on Great Lakes ship watching and coastal Facebook groups right now.
There’s a guy with a homemade house boat who’s attempting to traverse the lakes.
The boat is called Neverlanding and it set sail from Windsor, ON. It appears he has 1-2 50hp motors.

Socialism for fascists, violence for everyone else
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

based on the epstein emails released today i am Tapping The Sign
thinking about it now: i've said it before but the argument gets more reasonable by the day that joe biden should be (and will be) historically viewed similarly to buchanan for his complete inability to respond appropriately to trump during his term. he had one job and he fucked it up.

If you haven’t watched Halt and Catch Fire, you need to log off and fix that immediately.
for our "Texas Canon" series, I wrote about Halt and Catch Fire, the underrated AMC show about the '80s Dallas tech boom, and how it reminds us of why we were optimistic about tech in the first place: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
One of TV's most underrated shows gave Texas' tech past its due
Texas rarely gets the prestige treatment. One AMC drama pulled it off.
