A new software update is turning off the AC in Amazon delivery vans after 10 minutes or 30 seconds under certain conditions.

Broken record here, but so many of these uses start with “how can we get people to use a chatbot” rather than “how do we solve a problem” or “how do we fill a need.” The “problem” according to the companies is that people aren’t using chatbots enough.

"Painted bike lanes and sharrows may cost less and face less political pushback, but we now have evidence at a massive scale that protected bike lanes are really what can move the needle on ridership."

“The diversity of life on Earth is so grand, bizarre, and sprawling that even the existence of a single beetle can make your head spin. But it needs to *exist.* The very concept of an artificially generated video of wildlife is profane…”

St. Charles between Napoleon and Nashville was skipped over during the last round of repaving that was done like 10 years ago. So while there is theoretically a bike lane there, there is no striping. www.nola.com/news/crime_p...

Well that was something

The Spurs are 28-3ing this thing

This is the manifesto

You have to admit Donald Trump showing up to suck all the joy out of Knicks' run is the most apt sports story of the year

“The Trump administration’s plan to dismantle an ocean observation system vital to understanding the climate crisis and marine ecosystems would ‘severely degrade’ the accuracy of weather predictions and El Niño forecasts, with economic consequences for the US.”

Allegedly the banned-for-life list from the soon to shutter Parkview Tavern.

True "voice of gen-x" imo

The US will never host another World Cup in our lifetimes

Because of changes to rules that used to protect index funds from early volatility in IPOs, SpaceX and the major AI shitpiles are about to make everyone's retirement savings evaporate. prospect.org/2026/06/10/e...

Top leaders at the American Diabetes Association have resigned in wake of the huge outpouring of support for the 5 scientists — incl an ADA flagship journal editor — that the ADA forcibly removed from the annual meeting for disturbing an editorial from the ADA’s own flagship journal.

Joe Rogan is losing vaccine debates to Terry Bradshaw, who can barely formulate a sentence.

“‘Now it will be easy,’ [Joseph Goebbels] wrote…‘to carry on the fight, for we can call on all the resources of the State. Radio and press are at our disposal. We shall stage a masterpiece of propaganda. And this time, naturally, there is no lack of money.’” - Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, 314

This could become the worst Ebola outbreak in history, says @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social in @nytimes.com (graphics by Taylor Maggiacomo) This time the US undermined the Ebola response by shuttering USAID, firing CDC experts on outbreak control, & withdrawing from WHO www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What this tells me is we're at an all time low in public opinion mattering about anything

what if actually didn't must have to

You know thanks to the legislature we're running out of judges here. They should probably keep that in mind www.nola.com/news/susan-h...

We got a bunch of internal Amazon memes in which employees mock Amazon's own AI, refer to its output as “slop,” and joke about the company’s failed attempt to motivate employees to use AI tools effectively. More here: www.404media.co/sloppenheime...

dolan should invite benjamin netanyahu to game 4

“The budget argues that the city can ‘save’ billions more by the appointment of new Chief Savings Officers to several city agencies, who will be tasked with finding and implementing measures to make those savings a reality. This is really just a recipe for future austerity with extra steps.”

“…funding is still $97 million less than the 0.5 percent of the total budget that Mamdani promised on the campaign trail” … “More nefarious perhaps and less discussed is the so-called ‘savings’ that are built into the budget…”

I hadn’t seen this article until now. “The budget also slightly increases baseline allocation for public libraries, a positive but inadequate development. While this means libraries will no longer have to beg for re-allocation of resources in each new budget cycle…” www.leftvoice.org/mamdanis-fir...

Fuck Trump. Fuck Stephen Miller. Fuck FIFA.

People saying “I don’t think he’ll get booed because it’s all rich people there” forget that all of the NYC rich people HATE him because he’s gauche and stupid and annoying and bad at crimes which makes it more likely that they get caught for their crimes!

Never would have happened if the Knicks played at the Ballroom

I mean, as far as we know this is how much has been committed. But so much of the Charity project is obscured by NDAs that it could be anything. www.nola.com/news/busines...

This is why presidents have historically avoided sporting events, but when there's a malignant narcissist in office, it's everyone else's responsibility to just deal with it.

The big real estate deals in New Orleans are really more about our city's political and social elites squeezing whatever they can out of the props while they strike the set. www.nola.com/news/busines...

In other words, "Israelis shoot baby"

It's super that every country in the world now has their own specific Trump-related reason to hate the USA.

De Vaartkapoen, by Tom Frantzen, 1985

Listening to today's episode (excellent as usual) and they talk about accusations of things written by AI and name a tool I'd not heard of (Pangram). They claim it's pretty reliable. I feed it my piece from @liberalism.org this week that I *know* is human written because *I* wrote it...

And it says *100% AI written* with "high confidence." It is 100% wrong. I say... AI detector tools are about as reliable as AI writing tools.
