When people are like, "Where is the money for X going to come from?" I'm like, the police budget. The money you are looking for is in the police budget. It's in police contracts (many of which mandate an annual increase--PVD's does) & police pensions, but it's also in things like the supply budget

After decades of working in the tech industry, I'm convinced that the jobs most easily replaced by AI are the typical senior executive roles occupied typically by mediocre white men.

AI can already generate plausible-sounding and confidently wrong takes. That's 90% of the job.

Setting aside how stupid and unworkable Zuckerberg's idea is, it's a perfect illustration of the pathological, neurotic fear of their own certain death that drives rich and powerful men to participate in these ghoulish quests for immortality in whatever form. Absolutely parasitic, vampiric behavior.

Yeah, he used the Gaelic language for some of his fictional names but was pretty dismissive of the importance of the culture in European history.

And he pronounced Irish mythology as "too mad" to be worth studying lol

Perhaps. But I honestly don't know if there will be a long term to worry about if Trumpism hangs on to power. Trust me, I hate Newsom. He's my governor.

Tolkien was such a contradiction. Bemoaning the Norman conquest of England while being at best dismissive of the struggle for the Irish to preserve their own culture from destruction. See what he wrote about Irish mythology, I think it might be in the same letter

So, what happened to the Ukrainian bank's trucks full of gold? Did that stuff get returned or is it Orban's retirement fund now

I'd have to vote for Newsom in that scenario because I think the world would literally not survive another MAGA presidency. But we owe it to ourselves to see someone better than Newsom in the running.

Under California state law, all law enforcement agencies must report the number of so-called less-lethal munitions used. Is the LAPD providing honest reports?

Gotta make the drive over to San Gimigagno to try the gelato at Dondoli

San Gim is cute, bit of a tourist trap but the gelato is worth it (don't try the olive gelato tho)
