I can say this unequivocally, prices are not coming down in any meaningful way. There is simply no mechanism. The market is broken, and everyone involved knows it.

Re-groceries. I helped lead this investigation, and I spent the first part of my career in grocery pricing. FTC is investigating but I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. I don’t think the question is, is government intervention needed, but how and at what scale?

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

It’s not surge pricing. Instacart specifically denied that and there’s no indication that these prices are being set by supply/demand.

Anybody who doesn't immediately understand the ethical problems with using AI to depict people doing things that they never did is unfit for society & needs some kind of retraining, forget about government.
It's so obvious that due to AI someone will be killed for something they never said or did.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

I enjoy reading Paris’s tech thoughts but this makes me doubt his judgement. Brussels airport is fine. Better than 90% of the old US of A’s.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I’m genuinely curious to the pod father’s reaction to this. He sits at this weird intersection of content and technology, at a platform that gave rise to a lot of the factors at play here.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Sex toys are being hurled on the court at WNBA games. A cryptocurrency group says they're behind it – and planning for more.
The group says the acts are "pranks" intended to draw attention to their crypto meme coin and not meant to disrespect women athletes.
