Interesting article in #TheNewYorker 4/13/26 issue about how cities are mitigating record flooding using a combination of "gray" "blue" and "green" design solutions. Mostly atmospheric river (heavy rain) flooding, not glacial outburst, but still interesting. #TakingOnWater by #EricKlinenberg
Made the mistake of turning on the car radio 📻
#TheNewYorker radio hour was on.
The intro was something to the effect that AI is the next Industrial Revolution. 🤮
Then the host asked
Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz why they compared #SamAltman to Oppenheimer. Their answer was because Sam does.🤮
I spread some cream cheese and voted over coffee.
