Big overlap in titles when our greediest foster kitten took a trip to the closet. His brother was a bit shier.

Police union just spent another $500,000 to reelect Bass.
They have now spent $6.1M on Bass. Imagine what they want in return.

HONORED & THRILLED to have suggested & pitched adding a Costume Design category to @LAFilmCritics’ voting & awards line-up. Dream come true! To be able to change the lives of those who are part of an incredibly valued craft & uplift their craftsmanship feels gratifying. 💗🎥

It’s disingenuous to suggest Wikipedia “helped train” ai bots when what actually happened was ai bots scraped the human created data off Wikipedia. @NewYorker stop anthropomorphizing tech theft.
Wikipedia, which went online in January, 2001, is now the greatest compendium of human knowledge ever assembled. Yet in the last four years, it has lost 25 per cent of its traffic—more than a billion monthly visitors. Since the site recruits its editors from its audience, this dip also threatens its growth and quality. Many users have been intercepted by A.I. “It’s a cruelly ironic fate,” Julian Lucas writes. Wikipedia was the single most important training corpus in the history of artificial intelligence. Now artificial intelligence is threatening its survival.

NYT Today: Any SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger Long COVlD. Getting reinfected in perpetuity is like playing "Russian Roulette."
ALT Long Covid as Russian Roulette Doctors tend to be more concerned about the chance that someone will develop long Covid from repeated infections than they are that a person will get very sick in the acute phase of the illness. Covid can cause long-term damage to nearly every part of the body and repeated cases can compound those harms. A number of studies have shown that each time someone contracts Covid introduces an opportunity to develop long-term symptoms. Researchers often compare it to Russian roulette: Any infection could be the one that leads to long Covid. “Every time there’s a wave, there’s another wave that’s going to follow with patients developing new onset long Covid,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University.
Our DWP bill has gone wild this year. First the random trash subsidy expired = trash collection for the 4 tenants in our building doubled. Our last two billing cycles during heat waves cost $1000 for a 900sqft apt where, if we run all 3 window units on a 90° day, it's 87° inside.

PMC COVlD Update, Week of Aug 24, 2026
(posted 2 days early)
The US is experiencing COVlD outbreaks in 23 states/territories (see Alt text).
▪️Largest outbreaks: TX, CA, HI, AK
▪️1 in 136 Americans estimated actively infectious
▪️Highest levels since March 20th
🧵1/11
ALT The US has at least 23 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include much of California, Texas, Alaska, and Hawai’i, as well as the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Outbreaks are also present in Washington state, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and New Hampshire. There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 23 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. Levels in some Texas counties are so high – on par with the national peak of BA.1 Omicron – that it drives up estimates for counties in neighboring states that lack CDC wastewater monitoring systems. Looking closely at the map, notice other instances of Very High counties in one state driving up estimates of an adjacent county in a neighboring state that lacks data. This shows a clear value of the county-level map over the CDC state map.

Local officials are so focused on the World Cup that nothing is being done about this 4 day nightmare fire in Boyle Heights. They can’t even put together a consistent message across municipalities. Awful

5/ And it’s not just about the content you enjoy, it’s about truth. There’s four major news archives in the US – CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC.
Documentarian Marjan Safinia explains the impacts: “So this would effectively fold two of the four archives, which documentarians and journalists and historians rely on to tell the accurate version of history… under editorial control.”
