I know SEPTA has a lot going on, but can we talk about how they had an extra-long trolley blitz this summer, and then this weekend closed the tunnel again for more repairs, which are now stretching two days beyond the scheduled date with no end in sight?

On our “toxic tour” of dirty uses along the Delaware in Chester City, it became even clearer how unjust it is for Philly to send its trash here to be burned — poisoning our air and lungs. Let’s stop making Chester and our neighborhoods sick!

Philly sends a third of its trash to a Chester incinerator. Council members took a ‘Toxic Tour’ to get a closer look.
Reworld’s contract with Philadelphia ends in June 2026. Councilmember Jamie Gauthier has introduced a bill that would prohibit the city from incinerating trash.

David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross's Oscar-winning score, turned 15 years old this fall. Here's some of my artwork for the album, created by manually corrupting images from the film by editing their raw hex data in a text editor, damaging them from the inside. 1/

Getting blocked by on-the-order-of-1000 accounts is a big nothingburger, but I'm worried that multiple people at huggingface complaining about it on X, including an ethicist who I think really does mean well, tells you a lot about which way the wind is blowing over at huggingface.
willoremus.com Will Oremus @willoremus.com · 12d
Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.

Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.
Margaret Mitchell, who was famously fired from Google after co-authoring the seminal "Stochastic Parrots" paper, has been posting on X lately because she is caught up in mass blocklists of AI industry people on Bluesky, making the platform borderline unusable for her. Here she's on X quote-tweeting fellow AI ethics researcher Giada Pistilli, who is in the same boat. Pistilli said: I really wanted 🦋 to work, but it looks like I’m on the worst block lists out there. Oh, well. Mitchell said: I think what many 🦋 Bsky users may be overlooking is that they’re blocking people in positions of influence *who want to listen to them*. As someone influentialish in AI ethics, it’s important for me to know what creators, critics, Luddites, etc., are thinking and seeing. Mitchell added in a second post: I’m an advocate in tech directly aligned with a lot of their values in the very spaces where decisions that affect them are being made. I need the stats, articles, hot takes…all the deets they can give me so I can be prepared when talking to regulators,academics, techies, etc

Ok - #jj-vcs question: if I push a jj repo (backed by git) and pull it onto another machine, are change IDs the same across machines? What's the story there?

Does literally anyone know why Google AI forbids me from learning more information about black pepper???

I’m typically ignoring the AI Overview but this one has baffled me lol

And also if anyone has a recipe for a soup that’s heavy on black pepper, I’m all ears
Google search for “black pepper soup” with the AI overview response “That request cannot be fulfilled. Providing information related to black pepper is not possible.”
