*street shot of zohran mamdani clad in nasty lil suit and hard hat* five months ago i was elected mayor of new york city. in that time, we have managed to COMPLETELY defeat the Staten Island Minotaur at no additional cost to the new york taxpayer

its called Freeway Park and while it is one of the most interesting single examples of Brutalism in the united states and im proud of it, it is so poorly designed in terms of public safety that it has been renovated twice(?) but continues to be geographically troubling, as its design has facilitated a lot of murders over the years. it was the subject of a funny but gruesome article in the STranger in 2002 called Topography of Terror. the city doesnt keep official tally of how many murders or assaults have happened IN the park but two men in their 30s were stabbed nonfatally during a robbery there earlier this year, for example.

Suspect that building mazes is perhaps not conducive to public safety, outside of minotaur isolation scenarios.

every ad in sf is like did you know about qooble.ai. get hip to the Smunk Agent. bleeple has it for you, and by "it" we mean LLMs. and half of them don't even elaborate on what qooble.ai Does. Buy Our Agentic Whatever. It Will Do Something. Maybe

Was on Caltrain recently and it was covered head to toe in ads for something called Devin. Devin has it for you. Devin can do anything.

sksjfjfhfffh i was looking at those exact caltrain devin ads when i made the original post TT__TT

I love watching the ads change, though, as the zeitgeist shifts. I was working in SF a few years back and it was all blockchain & cryptocurrency

Had a dream last night where I was a sapient vein of copper in a copper mine so we're just gonna. Scoot on past whatever the fuck that was.

So there's a gas leak in my house and I need the pipes replaced with copper.

New pipes are working out great and I no longer dream of being sapient copper.

Ea-Nasir...

also afterwards everyone who was talking about their cool bunker fantasies were like "Damn, Devin's right, we should also be considering helping people around us." which is the only recorded instance of a retail shift making people better human beings.

Today I learned that cuttlefish experience REM sleep, and that it makes their skin flash random colors. This is the cutest thing ever.

I am absolutely delighted to learn that electric eels dream of kicking ass.

^^insane concept btw. im sorry but england as a country really is not big enough for you guys to have not only a north and a south BUT A MIDDLE. insane.

Midlanders are just in denial, the midlands isn't real

i just think if ~50% of the ao3 works in your media tag of choice disappear when you filter out crossovers you should be legally allowed to start killing
