This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like

On Tuesday, the SFMTA board casually discussed another fare increase, ignoring the harms that could cause, including to votes for next year's funding measures. All while the possibility of simply keeping parking meters turned on on evenings and Sundays was left off the table.

The office of the presidency in particular has never seen anything like the petty jobbery and open malfeasance of Trump and the people around him.
All misdeeds are not the same, and there is a real difference between the unseemly revolving door
between business and government — the plum position on a corporate board or an easy lobbying gig
— and a new status quo in which business leaders and heads of state give the president actual tribute in order to put themselves in the…

"'Made with AI' marketing will not age well. We’re already seeing brands start to shun AI in their ad copy while emphasizing their products are 100% human-made. Consumers will start to associate 'human-made' with higher quality — and higher price points." —Allison Morrow on Nightcap, the CNN newsletter.

when the strikers first walked out of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newsroom
because the PG had violated federal labor law.
The workers said they would not go back to their jobs until their employer followed the rules.

Mastodon needs big changes if it wants to grow. BIG CHANGES.
Most of what I personally want are small Quality of Life changes.
One reason apps like Pixelfed and Loops are interesting are because people could find them without caring about Activitypub.
New apps are exciting because it's a great way to experiment with things that maybe Mastodon could learn from and add in the future.

NFL Draft prospects to watch in Miami-Texas A
So far in Russia's hybrid war in Europe, most known acts of sabotage have resulted in minimal damage
— nothing compared to the tens of thousands of lives lost and cities decimated across Ukraine.
But officials say each act
— from vandalism of monuments to cyberattacks to warehouse fires
— sucks up valuable security resources.
The head of one large European intelligence service said investigations into Russian interference now swallow up as much of the agency’…
Modern Western Europeans are so accustomed to the environment not actively trying to kill them (because previous generations of Western Europeans made great efforts to tame and subdue it) that they don't even realize that the environment actively trying to kill them is possible, let alone, in fact, the norm
