Human waste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

At least 18.7 million people are served by one of roughly 1,000 utilities that are in serious violation of pollution limits. At least 2.7 million live with a system that violated federal clean water rules over the last three years, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data.

Dubai's 'cringe' influencers have a new rule: Don't mention the war As missiles and drones began lighting up the sky over Dubai, many of the city's social media personalities started posting about it. Then the government stepped in.

Kind of wild that Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of a theocracy, is the world's first post-modern head of state: unconfirmed appt, no public appearances or sign of life, in an unknown location with limited communications. Baudrillard would be proud.

Browser based social media reduction works well for me. Makes the experience just frustrating enough to find balance when my screen time creeps up.

There’s a growing cottage industry where wealthy criminals pay insiders to lobby President Trump to pardon them. While some call it a perversion of the Constitution, it’s a refreshing source of job creation in an otherwise unsteady economy.

Trump’s Iran strikes boost China’s energy edge Oil market turmoil from the Middle East conflict may reinforce Beijing’s push for renewables, electric vehicles and energy self-sufficiency.

I'm going to sit here and tell you that we should obsess over China when making policy decisions, but come on. One would be forgiven for believing that Trump is a Chinese operative. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

The hottest thing:

Foraging for GPU.

I have a pig I trained to sniff out H100’s.

My artisan, organic, locally foraged GPUs consume less power and are at least 10% better at inference.

(Suddenly realizing this would make for a clever comedy sketch: similar to KiTH β€œtrapper” sketch.)

Shh…this is bsky. AI, cloud, and big tech are all
β€œB”ad here. This is the platform where humor is lost and anything remotely technological or corporate is evil.

Starting in the early to mid 1920s and going through 1969 (though peaking between the early 1930s and middle 1950s), dozens of wedding announcements in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and *nowhere else*, referred to certain women in the wedding party as "puddingsticks." E.g.:

It's a constant in the Peanuts comic strip that Snoopy's purple prose racks up rejection after rejection, but I feel like a diligent literary agent could sell even a terrible novel written by a dog, if only for novelty's sake.

My hazing came when my friends gave me a higher dose of LSD than they took, and didn’t tell me (til years later). Since it was my first time they β€œwanted to make sure I felt it” was their excuse.

Would have been fine if it would have worn off before I had to go to work. No harm, and a good story.
