The website for my book redone with Opus 5.5. The initial version (made with Opus 4.8) required a lot of work to make a distinctive-looking static site. Now Opus mostly did this alone. We have come a long way from generic ClaudeDesign in a very short time. co-existence.ai

Sushi in Japan is for rich tourists and corporate expense accounts, not normal people. At nominal exchange rates (eg tourists), the median American is richer than all but the top 5% of Japanese households, and even adjusting for PPP differences they’re comfortably in the top quartile.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

Also I am sure that people on this website are going to fission mad at me over this, but voting is a social process. It's good and pro-social for us to all wander over to the neighborhood church or community center 1-2 times per year, joke with volunteers, and exercise our franchise together.

Companies I talk to are struggling with the rate of patches they need to do thanks to AI defenses finding issues before the coming wave of incoming cyberattacks by other AIs. Now consumers are going to have the same experience of getting everything updated often & fast. openai.com/index/coordi...

Kicking out black reactionaries, calling for the expulsion of Muslims from the state and country…at some point, conservatives from marginalized communities will realize that serial conservatism *cannot* and *will not* accept them as part of the team. White supremacy is part and parcel.

🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Bluesky today reminding me that there are a lot of homeowners out there who consider themselves diehard progressives but will turn into Grover Norquist the second you suggest that taxing the wealth held in their homes is fine and good.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

This graph is a good reason to introduce my new paper: By Generation and by Design: A Review of the Empirical Rent Control Literature. This paints a (somewhat) misleading picture of rent control evidence because it groups all rent control together regardless of design feature.
