For years pro-development advocates have wanted to overhaul CEQA to clear the way for more housing construction. Now Prop. 45 is on the ballot, which supporters say would overhaul CEQA to clear the way for more housing construction. So why are YIMBYs divided? calmatters.org/housing/2026...

Last-minute CA ballot advice for procrastinators like me: "no" on Prop 45. More targeted CEQA reform for renewables and housing could be good, but the Chamber of Commerce's shotgun approach will promote sprawl and freeway expansion. Not the way. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/prop-45-vote

Researchers at Anthropic have revealed that they have discovered a 26th week at number one for “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley, warning of the potential for a 27th if immediate safety action not taken.

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

*Sitting down backward on chair* Now, we have a lot of fun on bluesky dot social *stops* *thinks for a minute* w Wait, actually I'm not sure that's true

I'm interviewing Bluesky execs on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in a few weeks, so it's only fitting to ask on Bluesky... what do people want to know?

I think the political left should be the loudest voice calling for an AI model development pause, frontier pacing, and mandatory third party audits right now. Put aside the doomer stuff (though I think it’s plausible), we just found out that OpenAI’s agents committed a pretty major felony!

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

French troops require wine or else they won't fight. The problem with wine is that glass bottles break and steel cans leak when hit by shrapnel and fouled the flavor. So they invented Vinogel, a 3x solid wine concentrate made with pectin that could be reconstituted or eaten.
