Smalltalk with the barber about life:

"girls should be their father's property until marriage, when they become the husband's."

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

I don't care overly for AI slop, but I do think we probably want to be able to instill trust in photos and images that are recorded for evidentiary or reporting purposes and disambiguate them from generated stuff.

I wonder if there's much work done into physical cameras signing their work?

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

This (pointless, self inflicted) War of Mine (2026)

This could be a high-concept art game where the struggle is for the player to keep their sanity following a nightmare dream sequence without object permanence, but I can't see that having wide appeal

I was just in Australia giving the Boyer Lecture. It's an economist's love letter to his home country. It's also relevant to the current American moment, as the main point is to link institutions with prosperity.

I keep buying tools. I'm a middle-aged woman who does no DIY. My husband does no DIY. I've just bought a mitre saw that does compound angles. I'm hiding it from him. I want a tracksaw.

Artists treating their creations as a kind of therapy is a familiar story. Few though, seem as direct as the Indonesian Goth duo Camlann.

it's obviously an authoritarian theocracy with a very poor human rights record, a tendency to murder journalists and migrant workers and so forth. And is transparently using Western performances to whitewash. There's a huge amount to criticise

... But I do think we miss some complexity here

Look at these fucking assholes.
A roster of asshole stand up comedians doing the fucking Riyadh Comedy Festival, many of them jerkoffs who piss and moan that they can't say anything anymore because they're too lazy to be actually funny, meanwhile , there's a list of things these bullshit artists can't say in the contract from the absolute ruler of Saudi Arabia, a country that crushes free speech, tortures, murders journalists and executes nonviolent criminals, has the highest prevalence of modern slavery in the arab states, etc etc. Fuck these hypocritical individuals.
