Why does media like the NYT keep trying to push us to find *some*, *any* useful purpose for AI?

No thank you, I do not need a bot that makes shit up to try to find gifts for people I love.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.

My current work-in-progress: 18"x24" oil painting of a foggy, closed-in forest.

Was originally going for a darker forest but the bright mist in the distance has stuck, and it does seem to make a good contrast.

Shown today on @artbychichi.com 's fun art share stream!

The robots are literally coming to get us
Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

The Trumps went all in on bitcoin and are losing their shirts.

"Trump coin, launched shortly before the inauguration, has lost more than 90% of its value since peaking at $75.35 on January 19. It was trading at $6.25 on Monday."

The family wealth diminished $1B in the crypto crash
The crypto crash has tanked the investments of the Trump family and its followers

Might be time to activate the Grift Klaxon.

The US Space Force has awarded several sub-$9 million contracts to undisclosed companies to build early prototypes of space-based missile interceptors for Trump’s Golden Dome defence program, Bloomberg reports.

All names kept secret.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

Tell me you know nothing about the history of Taylorism without telling me that…. Etc
“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Here’s a crazy film mistake: portraying balloons supposedly filled with nitrous oxide floating up into the air.

Needless to say that the whole thing goes down from there. Nitrous dealers, etc.

Guys, ultimately it’s a household product.

“Israel is unique among so-called developed nations in having a total fertility rate not simply above replacement level but pushing towards 3…this despite being a highly educated society w/tech-driven economy.”

Clearly they’re only counting some humans

#Trans 🏳️‍⚧️ & 🏳️‍🌈 positive paintings on the way out of Museo de la Resistancia Dominicana. After an intense exhibit on human rights violations of the Trujillo regime, US complicity, & Dominican resistance, they welcome you to a future in which all humans have rights.

This is especially huge here

L’adaptation est l’un des enjeux centraux et les plus débattus de la conférence de Belem, au Brésil. Elle pourrait déboucher sur de nouveaux financements et un objectif mondial pour mesurer les progrès des pays.
