Politically driven "focus on special features over ensuring affordable housing money is stretched as far as possible" is one part of this, and same thing happens in transit:
* Electric buses don't work as well as electric cars, yet we make bus riders pay for electrification with less service, and don't require drivers to use electric cars.
* Fancy stops for "BRT" buses that offer infrequent service.
Etc Etc

The rate of descent did not slow as much as expected,
and the spacecraft probably made a hard landing.
The laser instrument that measured how high Resilience was above the surface was slow in making its measurements,
which may have contributed to the problem.
“At this point, we do not know clearly about the cause,”
Takeshi Hakamada, the chief executive of Ispace, said in translated remarks.

The fediverse is often full of drama with admins falling out with each other and defederations, and threats and tears.
Now, with the public spat between the Twitter admin and the TruthSocial admin, the rest of the world gets to enjoy a similar spectacle!
They can't defederate of course, because Twitter never became open enough and TruthSocial was already defederated by everyone as soon as it existed.
Only on Fedi can you get the full experience of a public spat and defederation, because only on Fedi can the admins really at-mention and and directly reply and take the final dramatic action of a flouce-defederation.
Trump fans who are Twitter users can't port their followers over to TruthSocial, and Turther Musk fans can't just migrate their account to Twitter.
They're stuck.
So you see Fedi really is the best when it comes to massive public spats between admins and this current admin-drama is only getting more attention because it's between two of the worst people in the world.

"My experiences of connection with God and others in the church have kept me coming back. I am hoping against hope that the 21st century church can be an experiential community for the future, a place that more and more people can turn to for a mysterious experience of eternal resonance."
—S. Slade Hogan ’22 S.T.M. writing in the new issue of Reflections, which asks whether Christianity is losing its religion.

It seems to me that MCP is a modern, cross-platform corollary to the Mac ecosystem’s AppleScript dictionaries. It's a great standard for discovering API endpoints and calling them in a standard way. (And as a bonus, it doesn't involve keeping track of four-byte codes.)
Because it's associated with the AI buzz, lots of developers are integrating it. But it's not limited to and doesn't have to be used with AI; there's a great opportunity to make it easy for humans…
