30 Rock did a joke about Nixon's chief of staff H. R. Haldeman in an episode from 2007. The joke was that young people wouldn't understand a reference to events from 34 years earlier.

A TV episode airing in 2025 could do the same thing about a political event from 34 years ago, which would be 1991.

“The optics are, oh, the police get everything they want.”

Here’s my story on the Vancouver Police Department asking for a $50 million increase to their 2026 budget while others city departments are facing challenges — and how at least one board member seemed aware of the conflict it would create.

I always seen the whole "you must adhere exactly to the rules and rule of cool is lazy" as quite frnakly, a sign of controlling behavior. N otable is going to do that if it wants to last. Some game designers should actually play more games I think.

Encouraging.

Raising taxes on fuel purchases will sensibly improve the state's position on climate while increasing fare tax rates across the board should improve CTA efficiency and access for Chicagoans.

#transportation
#freedomofmovement

Screenshot of an image from an article in Capitol News Illinois titled, 'Latest Chicago transit funding plan appears to avoid statewide tax increases' by Ben Szalinski and published October 30th, 2025.

It reads:
"The bulk of the funding, $860 million, would come through redirecting sales tax revenue charged on motor fuel purchases to public transportation operations. Another estimated $200 million would come from interest growing in the Road Fund — a state fund that is typically used for road construction projects but can also be used for transportation-related purposes under the state constitution.

The plan calls for raising the existing Regional Transportation Authority sales tax by 0.25 percentage points, to 1% in Lake, McHenry, Kane, DuPage and Will counties and 1.25% in Cook County. That tax hike will generate $478 million."

If you're at an American company, there are very obvious solutions to this, you just have to implement them. All you have to do is greenlight the animated movies that you know have been pitched to you.

This is possible. We can make this money (and probably more) with American animation too.

Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 7d

Theatrical anime is doing (better than) Hollywood numbers, with Chainsaw Man even getting a lot of IMAX screens. And it's been fascinating to see the conversation and reviews move from genre and enthusiasts sites onto just movie sites and movie sections. It's not nerd culture anymore. Just culture.

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

'Footpath through a park.' (1920) Santiago Rusiñol almost completely concentrated on painting Spain's gardens and landscapes. Wherever he went, he recorded the domestic, at other times enigmatic, forms and rich vegetation of the shrubbery, orchards, and arboretums he discovered.
