Los Angeles: hundreds of square miles of land with an incredible variety of terrain, unimaginably great weather, gorgeous native flora and fauna

Los Angeles Officials: Let's cover it in concrete
LA is building a new $1.5 billion freeway into LAX.

The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away

The LAX-pressway must be stopped

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Our Prestige Junkie Pundits think the best director race is basically set at the top, with Paul Thomas Anderson and Chloé Zhao appearing on 96 percent of ballots. The real suspense: who will claim the fifth spot

As I was cutting out Donald Trump for the art on this story, I couldn't help but wonder …

Does the president of the United States tie his own shoes?

for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

Climate effects aside, just the sheer scale of our emissions are astounding. Humanity makes more CO2 every year than all other materials we produce combined
1) Fossil fuel
Still no peak. Emissions are projected to increase by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 38.1 GtCO2. An all time high.

Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools.

They are not.

They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.

Very excited that our new newsletter (that I am proud to say I named 😏), a collab with @letterboxd.social called Crowd Pleaser is out now! Along with the visual branding for the project, I made a lil animation of Matthew Frank's road trip across the country visiting 58(!) different movie theaters. 🍿
As theaters faced their worst October since the ’90s, Matthew Frank visited 58 movie theaters in 28 states to hear from the people keeping moviegoing alive.

Senate Republicans now say they’re open to extending a ACA funding IF Democrats agree to stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans.

This is why you don't negotiate with terrorists.
