It is going to be so bleak when AI companies have to build surge capacity for all the people who reflexively say "Good Morning, Chat" to the computer at the same time every morning, like when people from India uses to mass-post "good morning" every day and nearly collapse Twitter's infrastructure

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

On my flight back from Indy just now. Suddenly the plane pitches one direction and re-centers. Like a car swerving. Coffee nearly knocked off my tray. People very tensely sucking in their breath

Pilot got on the horn and says we had to swerve to avoid another plane, wasn't supposed to be there. jfc

To be fair conservatives have been doing this forever. When I was in college, I played in a worship band at a chapel service counter programming the halftime show during a youth group Superbowl watch party

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race
