So kind of @dropout.tv President @vicmmic.bsky.social to grace Toronto with their presence. (Micro celebrity Kurt Maloney was ok, I guess.)
The real comedy was the ~ 7 hour~ round trip drive from London that usually takes 4.5 hours. Hats off to the Gardiner Expressway.

A stage with a screen displaying "dropout improv" with a bag of popcorn in the balcony edge foreground.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

An image of the body of a dinosaur appears on a computer monitor. A parakeet peeks out from behind, perfectly aligned with where the dinosaur's head would be

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.
