This is real evidence of societal decay. My No. 1 complaint to the Mets every season.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

Freshly cut grass, hot dogs, cold beer, the crack of a bat and the sound of an organ playing: Few places are as distinct as a baseball stadium. But live organists are disappearing. Only 10 of the 30 MLB teams tell NBC News they have someone performing at every game.

Big yes, and thanks to @nydailynews.com for highlighting this basic home rule issue! NYC shouldn't need Albany's permission to expand red-light cameras. Red-light running has dropped 80% where cameras are installed. Albany must lift the 600-intersection cap. buff.ly/FlzxACU

buff.lyAlbany should let NYC go green on red-light camerasNew York City has hit its state-imposed maximum of 600 intersections with red-light cameras, beating Mayor Mamdani’s promise of reaching the benchmark by the end of the year. Few policies can be so…

As I've said this is the main thing I want from any meaningful AI regulation. Eyes gotta change color when it goes evil. That's non-negotiable for me.

Vivek Ramaswamy's at that part in the campaign where the pollster says you're probably going to lose and doing this desperate thing could help but most likely not, also it'll be a stain on your conscience. Being Vivek Ramaswamy of course he did it.

In the Great Chart War I am unequivocally on the side of the Bloodless Quants, who are usually correct on the specifics, and totally correct in general on the need for quantifiable data analysis. But today they seem to be reacting *extremely* uncharitably to a Tweet that is, at worst, poorly worded.
