Is there an economist or other smart-ish person who has commented on what an actual exodus of 1m residents would do to housing prices there? I’m curious

Letterkenny intensifies

Bold of you to assume they ever plan on leaving. He’s already handing out Trump 2028 hats and Bannon is just doing media interviews telling everyone he isn’t leaving.

You don’t tear down an entire wing from one of the most (symbolically) important buildings in the country just to throw parties for a couple years and then leave.

This was one of the fundamental experiences of whiplash that shot me straight out of the Christian community. Giant pile of child-fucking hypocrites.

We have a bunch around Chicago too. There are two zones around where I live that have them, and in both places people absolutely do slow down now. There might be a catch-22 for the city in terms of on-going revenue though—once people learn to slow down in those areas, I would imagine ticket revenue from those cameras drop. But saving lives is never a bad outcome.

I’ve seen headlines where some CEO (usually in tech) had the self-awareness to tell their workforce that AI is coming for everyone’s jobs, “including mine.” So at least some of them know it.

Sure why not

1. It’s 2025, is there even a browser that doesn’t reopen your tabs by default? Who are the criminals building those?
2. Keeping a zillion tabs open is a resource strain on classic computers. If people are up for it, they could explore saving tabs to stuff like task apps or bookmark services.

Which is literally why I mentioned there is a real test here.

I don’t watch Kimmel. Nothing particularly against him I’m just not that into late night shows. But the real test here will be whether he’s been gagged from specific topics and people.

The last known photo of Chester Bennington is him smiling and surrounded by his family.

Your coworker needs help.

When the rich figured out that our innate tribalism could be weaponized to distract us from their abuse, lawlessness, and greed.

You might be surprised at how well indie publications can do. Look at Second Wind, they have a bunch of writers and video folks all funded AFAIK through Patreon.

SkillUp’s channel has done so well he’s hired on two more people to make videos and just launched their own site with multiple writers. In fact they just hired another columnist, all reader and viewer funded through Patreon (and directly through the site too, I think).

There are other outlets thriving in the indie gaming journalism and review space too, all most if not entirely reader funded. It’s working.

It’s real baybeeeeeee Sep 4! I’m only a little excited

Jokes on them, there won’t be anyone around to watch it. Everyone on the planet took off work to play Silksong

No, I think Forsaken (Dreaming City) is the oldest content still in the game. If you want to see the old campaign I’m sure there are playthroughs on YouTube you could watch.

Good, the game needs some fresh leadership. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that on the same day they announced this, Bungie also announced that all previous season passes will soon return to a kiosk in-game and you can finish them at any time (yes like the Helldivers model). Plus, players who never got the pass before will be able to buy them for a pretty reasonable price (around $6 USD I believe).

Does anyone know the origin of this photo? Is it just some AI thing?
