Didn't even know California already did their regulation of hemp products a couple of months ago.
California Passes Bill to Ban Intoxicating Hemp Products Outside Cannabis Market
The legislation, heading to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk, also prohibits all synthetic THC products and integrates hemp into the state’s cannabis framework.

Robert Altman, on the filming of THE LONG GOODBYE:
“Sterling Hayden did the same scene twice, once drunk and once stoned, and he was great both times.”

Hemp regulation is a genuine issue but overnight obliteration is ludicrously bad policy. Whole lot of hemp and hemp-associated businesses will go under, this criminalizes basically every delta-8/9 product with enough in it to have a psychoactive effect.
(Those 24 Senators voted the right way.)

The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.
Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

I think Tatsuya Nakadai gets overshadowed a bit by Toshiro Mifune but imho he was equally great. one of my favorite actors ever, kinda thought he'd live forever.

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"
I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

So this is going to replace filmmaking by incinerating money equal to one lower mid-budget film per day.
Forbes estimates OpenAI is blowing $15m a day on Sora. Sure, why not? I bet OpenAI’s inference costs are absolutely horrifying

Some back-of-napkin math suggests OpenAI is spending more than a quarter of what it’s making to power the AI slop factory.

Stop posting and overthrow your leader.
We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon
